  dbeatriceb reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread Experience with waterproof socks with Like.
  
  Bring alot of sunscreen, get one of those reflective umbrellas, bring at least 3 liters of water a day. I froze one liter every night and carried it to keep my food cold and pour some on my head. (It worked well) I would not walk in shorts or...

  dbeatriceb reacted to Dani7's post in the thread Play podiatrist for me: big toe nails ache with Like.
  
  I would ask my physician to take an xray of my feet. Just to rule out osteoarthritis (which often starts with the big toes). Inflammation can settle in more post exercise than during. Just my thoughts.

  dbeatriceb replied to the thread When do we NOT want to start in May 2025 (from SJPdP)?.
  
  Check the holiday calendar for Spain. There are always more crowds around Easter and also 3 day weekends. I believe May first is a holiday. Depending on where I am during the walk, I often book ahead lodging during those dates, especially those 3...

  I know I saw some discussion on this topic a few weeks ago, but I can't find it - so sorry if this is repetitive. We're likely to get into Paris at the end of April/beginning of May. If we just forged ahead, we'd probably start from SJPdP...

  dbeatriceb replied to the thread Zero-drop shoes and the camino.
  
  I have worn Altras and other zero drop trail runners on several caminos. Average drop for many shoes is around 12cm so switching to zero drop can involve some adjustment time. When I wore Altras on the Camino I had already worn zero drop shoes...

  dbeatriceb reacted to JustJack's post in the thread Zero-drop shoes and the camino with Like.
  
  I learned a new term today. Zero-drop shoes. Hadn’t come across the term before. Was researching a brand of trail runners (Altra Timp 5) and read that they are zero-drop shoes. Which means, I discovered, that there is no difference in height...

  dbeatriceb replied to the thread What's your best non-standard itinerary for the last 100km?.
  
  There are several other less crowded and more peaceful routes where you can walk 100km into Santiago and avoid the Sarria-Santiago portion altogether.

  dbeatriceb reacted to Ungawawa's post in the thread What's your best non-standard itinerary for the last 100km? with Like.
  
  I never tire of doing the Camino Francés (five times and counting!), but the overcrowding in the summer months has made the Brierley stages from Sarria a no-go for me. That's why today I'm interested in your alternative itineraries for the last...

  dbeatriceb replied to the thread Tips for wild/stealth camping along the camino?.
  
  Most land is privately owned and there aren’t many places where wild camping could be done without notice. Not sure how you’d determine on the fly whether land is private or public anyway. Lately there seem to be more complaints from locals about...

  dbeatriceb replied to the thread is it safe to walk alone at 18.
  
  Lots of good advice already in this thread. I also suggest joining a private Facebook group called “Camigas,” which is for women only. There could be questions you might want to address in that group. Have a wonderful time!
