    Trekking Poles as Carry On Baggage

    Poles can be a travel problem alright. We walked in 2018 for the first time with similar concerns. We discovered that there are several luggage services that will send your luggage ahead. We used ‘Luggage Free’ and shipped a large duffel bag with all of our hiking gear, clothes, poles, and...

    How to use the Camino Forum App

    I installed the app. But when I tried to log in on my iPad the keyboard wouldn’t pop up allowing me to key userid and password. Haven’t tried my iPhone yet.

    What's Your Favorite Socks or Combination You Have Ever Used?

    My favorite is Injinji liners with any merino wool crew socks or injinji wool socks alone. Paired with good fitting hiking boots your feet will be well cared for. But do take a product such as Mole Skin or Compeed in case of hot spots.

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Somewhere in the original post I realized that the intelligence level required for this discussion was stratospheric, but keep it up guys. It is interesting!

    Horses into Galicia

    Nancy and I rode the horses in late September last year. The trip up was fun and the horses are gentle and kind to the rider. Except that they constantly wanted to grab a bite of grass beside the trail which required a continually snug rein to let them know that was a bad habit. But we were so...

    Compeed Blister Plasters... Pro/Con

    Compeed worked well as a preventative for Nancy and I walking from SJPDP to Santiago de Compostela. Even on the heels, but there, when the trail was hot, the adhesive melted onto our sock liners. Kind of irksome picking that adhesive off of the sock liners but no heel blisters. We wore Injinji...

    Pilgrim Mass

    Nancy and I are beginning our walk mid August. We are Catholic and are walking for spiritual strengthening. We look forward to mass at Santiago botafumeiro or not. But I can't deny the attraction of getting to see that huge insensor swing. The sweet smoke carrying your prayers to heaven. The...
