    Some difficulty now (Feb 2024) on the camino de invierno

    I was having trouble following the discussion earlier in this thread however does the following in a thread today (this one) essentially say “no more detour required?”. I know this should be self evident but…better to ask than assume I “got it”. Appreciated Guy "Ok, so the official route...

    GPX File Question

    @islandwalker Elaine - Brilliant! Similar to you helping me navigate Wikilocs you have done it again! I have as yet not tried to split the GPX file however my initial question about Elevation Gains/Losses by stage is now answered. Super easy ...Load the GPX file saved on the Mac and then click...

    GPX File Question

    Thanks Rick and @DoughnutANZ for your quick and helpful replies. I just googled « text editor » and there are multiple apps for IOS so will play with these. Sounds from what both of you have said it’s kind of brute force editing once I have the GPX file in the text editor software…totally fine...

    GPX File Question

    Hi...this is quite funny...at least to me. I am looking at a track from Forwalk from Lucca to Rome on the Via Francigena...you know just for fun ☺️. No problem I download the GPX file into Wikilocs. I now have a file with 415 kms over 15 stages with total elevation gains 7,325m and losses...

    Pocket coin pouch for those EU coins?

    😂 Yes I had quite the stash of Canadian lapel pins when I started my long walk from Rorschach Switzerland…2,000 or so…a few bundles sent in advance to a few locations along the Camino routes…and then all plans went south 🙄. In the end I did hand them out so no lapel pins left. Was thinking a...

    Pocket coin pouch for those EU coins?

    Are you currently taking orders? Also how much would adding a little Canadian flag 🇨🇦 add to the cost? 😊

    Some difficulty now (Feb 2024) on the camino de invierno

    I may walk the Invierno later this year … but a little confused 😂 right now! I may ask my wife a non Camino walker for help…she is great!

    Listening to music while on the camino

    On my walks in the city almost always listening to music. On my Caminos no music as I find there are too many other sounds of interest. On my recent PEI Island Walk I reverted to music as there was no one around 😂

    Deciding among a few Caminos

    I can honestly say I wish I were in your shoes...what great choices you have! I have walked your #1 choice the Via Podiensis from Le Puy en Velay to St. Jean Pied de Port and another superb Camino walk the Via Gebennensis (starts in Geneva...forget maybe 12 kms in Switzerland to French border?)...

    Trail Runners?

    Walked both in 2022 in HOKA Speedgoats and they were great!

    Comparing Camino Primitivo with UK Coast to Coast walk

    Agreed on costs for sure…last two long walks were PEI Island Walk in Canada which was likely 3x4 times the cost and the Wainwright Coast to Coast which was likely 4x+ any Camino route I have walked. I knew this ahead of time…so no surprises on either walk and frankly no regrets however having...

    Comparing Camino Primitivo with UK Coast to Coast walk

    I walked both recently and also give them each 5 stars. Sep 2022 - Camino Primitivo and San Salvador. Of the 8 Camino routes I have walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela and the Via Gebennensis from Geneva to Le Puy en Velay are my favourites. You will fully enjoy...

    How to cross hazardous streams safely

    I believe you…fairly normal weather is icing on the cake on my story 😂. Almost all walkers bailed that day! Must have been something in my thinking that said “this is normal…walk!” 🤣

    How to cross hazardous streams safely

    Oh my! 😱 Recently completed the Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk in the UK where we experienced wicked rains 80mm+ rain on a couple of days in the Lake District. Would have been good to know this information before we crossed the many, many raging streams on two particular days. Let me see When...

    New Waymark in Ireland

    It is spectacular however it rained 80mm on one day. We had to ford rushing mountain streams to the knees on multiple occasions. A very different type of walking! One example.
