    Walking the Camino Frances on stilts

    This one caught my eye, I knew there would be a wide range of funny responses and I wasn’t disappointed. I used to walk on stilts when I was a young teenager… I was short, I needed to see more of the world around me…

    My own photos and don't remember where

    Depending on the camera type (a phone or a camera) the EXIF information stored with each photo can be useful. Iphones for example (and other devices with inbuilt GPS locators) store the lat/lon of the photo position in the EXIF data, which is viewable with the better photo viewing apps (not the...

    portable keyboard for phone?

    I use something very similar to that with my Ipad. It is a logitech tablet keyboard specifically for the ipad 6. But for my android tablet and my iphone I have a folding keyboard, it isn’t as good as a standard full size keyboard but it is quicker and more comfortable than onscreen typing. I...

    Newbie Questions

    Newbie Questions

    Hi Re-tired. Rather others than looking up the address and posting it here, it’s better for you to get some practice with the search facility on the forum. At the top of any forum page in the menu bar there is a Search Button. You could search for baggage forwarding or baggage holding...

    Sarria pilgrims

    Ironic that the certificate mentions bicycles in “Latin”. Bicycles were not exactly an available mode of transport in ancient Rome. According to Wikipedia, the first bicycle known of was made and used in 1817. I suppose in the future they will need to find a “Latin” word for skateboards and...

    Anti snoring device

    I have used a CPAP machine for nearly 9 years. My sleep study reported 42 events per hour. I was concerned about the disruption to others and indeed as it turned out I was more troubled by snoring from others. I was going to take the base machine with me on my camino in Aug/Sept/Oct this...
