    Celebrating my old age

    Just catching up on this thread...last year walked my 3rd Camino at the age of 70, and planning for another next year. As always, listen to your body, as when we were younger, walk when we feel strong, rest when we feel tired, enjoy each moment, and celebrate each person you meet. The world is...

    Hiking shoes recommendations

    I agree with SuefromVegas! Altra Olympus with the vibram sole is perfect for the rockier portions. Wide toe box is a plus. Very durable, wore them on the Frances last September and still going strong walking several days a week since.

    Difference Between Altras

    I am wearing Olympus 4 and my friend picked up a pair in Leon! They are the best! Wide toe box, but most importantly the vibram sole makes them head and shoulders better than other Altras! Try a pair from REI so if you don’t like them you can take them back. We get into Santiago the day after...

    The River Route into Burgos

    Just walked it last week, be sure to turn left just after the overpass near a bus stop and some apartments around an open field. Go along the path keeping the airport on your right. Cross the highway as described above and go through the park keeping the river on your right. A little dicey at...
