      I have been wearing a wider brimmed hat while hiking with a daypack, and I cut a hole in the back of it so my ponytail sticks out. Re. burning in the sun.. this is something I never understood. The general wisdom about avoiding sun damage says...

      Let me preface this by saying please understand I am not picking on anybody, I fully understand that mistakes happen and how. Been there, done that. I have been astonished to see so many lost and found reports over the last two weeks. And not...

      backlasher reacted to jeffnd's post in the thread Reintroducing myself with Like Like.
      Ten years ago to the day, I returned home from walking the Camino Frances. People asked me if I would do it again, and I said absolutely. I thought I'd be going back in "3 to 4 years." Obviously, that didn't happen. Life gets in the way, I guess...

      Today is my 9th day on the CF. I’d like to share an astonishing story how the Camino provided what I searched for in a religious way: There is the oldest German church song which is sung just once a year in the Eater night: Christ ist erstanden...

      I've been a fan of Hikers Wool since 2015 when I first used it on Camino. It's wonderful stuff. Providing a soft padding and natural oils on 'hot spots' as they occur, so that blisters can be avoided! I've been trialling a new version of Hikers...

      Question for those walking this weekend: “Do you know why everyone is so tired on April 1?” Answer: “It's because it's at the end of a 31-day March.”

      backlasher reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Folding up an Altus? with Like Like.
      Have you ever tried to put a tent back into the ludicrously small bag it came in? Your Altus stuff-sack has done you a favour. It assessed your stress levels and concluded they required no further enhancement. Just roll the damned thing into...
