  dreaming replied to the thread Health Impact of Camino walk....
  
  I caught a cold last October on CF. I still managed to walk with just one 5 km day but did feel miserable followed by a violent gastro event just before going on the plane back home. Despite this my cholesterol bloods etc on returning home were...

  dreaming replied to the thread Starting 2nd week of October Leon-Santiago - tips?.
  
  I walked the CF last October and yes it rained for two weeks solid in the second half. I couldn't have done without my rain coat, rain pants and umbrella. My merino wool T-shirt didn't get washed for two weeks. It was just hung up to dry...

  dreaming reacted to Mananath's post in the thread Chacos on the Camino with Like.
  
  While not a lady, nor have I walked the Portuguese, I have worn Chacos as my only shoe on the Norte which has sandy beaches. The Chacos were fine on the sand though you could always just take em off while walking in the sand. I always wear socks...

  dreaming replied to the thread Wet hiking shoes.
  
  I use a simple hand held umbrella. New balance runners weren't very wet despite two weeks of solid rain. Just put newspaper in at night. Sometimes replaced it once.

  dreaming reacted to TheRealPixie's post in the thread Montbell Sunblock Umbrella 55 with Like.
  
  Plus one for Gossamer Gear's umbrella holder. A huge negative to specialized "sun" umbrellas. They really aren't necessary and are somewhat of a gimmick. A plain old black umbrella does as good of a job. This is why, I'm bringing the GG holder...

  dreaming replied to the thread Overthinking this thing..
  
  I am a backpacker over many years. All I did was plan where I flew into and out of and would buy a Lonely planet book and work it out when I got there. Six years ago I completed the CF after travelling in Europe. I just used a simple Black...

  dreaming replied to the thread Trekking poles.
  
  Last year I bought them in the shop opposite the pilgrim office for 20 euros each. Personally, I would not wait until Pamplona. Your knees will be thankful. Walking to Roncesvalles and Zubiri has steep downhill parts.
