      Curacion59 replied to the thread KML tracks of all caminos - Instituto Nacional Geográfico.
      I don't want to agitate but for a dummies guide (which work for iPads, iPhones and apple laptops/desktops with the M1 chip) for those wanting detailed maps with the "track" for the CF an option that works today is using the "Organic Maps" app...

      Curacion59 reacted to Bruce30017's post in the thread Backpack Pick with Like Like.
      I have an Osprey Atmos 50 that I am quite happy with - very comfortable with good hip belt and straps (hardly notice it) and ventilated shape (reduces back sweat). I bought the pack initially for the Camino, and used it on the Frances twice. It...

      Curacion59 reacted to Perambulating Griffin's post in the thread Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it? with Like Like.
      FWIW... I have an ultralight pack and I don't think the brand is important (though it's a "leader" in the field). All the ultra-lights rely on the same design: absence of frame or much structure. In essence it's 4 sections of parachute material...

      Curacion59 reviewed the resource English Notes for the Camino from Lourdes to Sain-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
      1.00 star(s) Not what I was hoping for. If you are new and looking for a path from Lourdes to SJPD take a few hours at your computer on the Gronze site with your favourite translation app and create your own text file with the the translated gronze notes...

      Curacion59 reacted to dougfitz's post in the thread Newbie with Sarria to Santiago - Equipment ?s with Like Like.
      If you haven't already purchased a pack, I have recommended a rule of thumb that will help you get into the right size range. First, take your walking weight (in kg), halve that and that number will be the size (in litres) that would be my start...

      Curacion59 reacted to gerardcarey's post in the thread Paris Accommodation with Like Like.
      ADVENIAT - https://adveniat-paris.org/en/ I never stay anywhere else. I get the metro to Gare Montparnasse then catch the 7.15ish morning train from to Bayonne. At Bayonne station, the valley rattler to SJPDP waits until the train from Paris...

      I love Adveniat! But it's not near Gare St Lazarre

      Curacion59 reacted to CWBuff's post in the thread Scam - again.. with Like Like.
      Not entirely true. We in the IT business are constantly being "groomed" to be on a lookout for anything (basically in that case - it is a company email but of course the same with some common sense applies to our personals emails as well)...

      Curacion59 reacted to tjz's post in the thread Gortex or No -Gortex Shoes with Like Like.
      After years of hiking and running, I am a believer in non-gortex shoes. No matter what, your feet are going to get wet if the rain or puddles gets serious. You'll also get wet once you get warmed up and start sweating. But you'll dry out much...
