    New camino tool

    I just have to share this one: Sea to Summit, a company based in my home town, Perth, Western Australia, is about to start selling a small, light trowel which you use to dig a hole when you have to go the the toilet when you're out walking the trail. It's called .... wait for it ... the...

    Sleeping outside?

    Not with soap, I hope. The water sources are polluted enough already.

    Greetings to All

    You can look for "Fixomull" tape, which is magic for pre-walk taping and/or blister repair. It's made in Germany, I believe, so should be available in Europe. It's thin and has little holes in it, so it "breathes" and sticks like glue. Better than Compeed, IMHO, and more comfortable to wear.

    How long does one stay in Santiago de Compostela

    Time in Santiago de C Oh no! Another question I had not considered! I'm hoping an old friend will fly out from the UK and meet me there for a couple of VERY long lunches before I head off to F'sterre. Then it might be fun to return towards France on the FEVE narrow-gauge railway from Ferrol...

    Sunrise, sunset

    Thanks for responses. Sil has been kind enough to give me full instructions and I can't wait to get home and put them to use (I don't think my schedule pouring out of the office printer would make me very popular). Much appreciated, Tony

    Navarra forum

    Thanks, William. Might have been good of them to post a re-direction link. Still, I've got all those "fixes" to catch up on. :lol:

    Navarra forum

    Anyone know what the problem is with the Navarra pilgrim forum? It's been "No se encuentra la página" for a couple of weeks. True addicats need "fixes" from as many sources as possible! :lol:

    Sunrise, sunset

    Sil, thanks for the godesalco site, but I'm not clear on its purpose. It says to "send" the form. Nothing seems to happen when you do.

    Sunrise, sunset

    My years of planning a camino have neglected one vital thing: the hours suitable for walking at various times of the year. Living in Australia, I forgot that the length of the day can vary considerably with the seasons in the northern hemisphere. I understand that in the period mid-September...

    Checking in from Zubiri

    Walking poles This may have been posted before, but some good advice on poles and how to use them can be found here: http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~pjclinch/poles.htm Cheers, Antonio

    Snugpaks

    I too have been thinking about a Snugpak, specifically the Chrysalis Autumn model, although it does weigh 1.4kg. The bag is elasticated, so it stretches to accomodate your movements. Very clever, but I have yet to make a decision. Would pick it up in London en route, as they are significalty...

    Los desaparecidos

    Many thanks, Ivar. That will teach me to look properly! I didn't even know there was an equipment section. Ecellent site, by the way.

    drain plug, guidebooks, soap, ear plug and knife...

    Looking your best Probably a silly question, but ... Do refuges have any facility for ironing the odd shirt? After weeks in and out of a rucksack, I feel even the best drip-dry shirt is going to have more wrinkles than the average elephant. And even we elderly chaps like to look our best!
