  I've not come across powdered shampoo or deodorant, though I remember my father, in the 1950s, whisking up a powder with water to make liquid shampoo. Could you provide more information, please, @KDub ?

  Camino packing has definitely changed how I pack for other trips. Thanks for reminding me. I would add: - Merino wool (especially the lighter weights) will also dry quickly (and doesn't usually need daily washing) - Get your power adaptors in...

  BarbaraW replied to the thread Question for cat/pet owners.
  
  I'm wondering whether there is any sort of cat or breed club where you live that might help you find a suitable person to sit your cat. A cat will be my consolation if I am no longer able to make long journeys.

  Moderation: been there, done that, even got the retirement umbrella 😉 (thanks @ivar, it’s saving me from the Cotswold rains just now) I know that some here enjoy my sense of humour and appreciate my careful application of irony and, occasional...

  Hola all, I would like to first, thank all the mods for the work they do. They do a lot more than a regular member can see actually. How many times a day are people posing a new thread in the wrong forum, and a moderator moves it over to the...
