    Best Toe Sock Liners for Hiking: Comparing Injini Coolmax and Nuwool Liners with Smartwool Merino Socks

    On the Francés I wore them with darn tough socks but on the VDLP I wore them on their own. Love them - no blisters!

    Best Camino Apps for iPhone Users

    I liked Wise Pilgrim but used Gronze as well - it was more up-to-date with albergue status.

    Is there anywhere we can share foods in Camino? Like you cooked too much.

    Thanks, I didn’t see the other threads ( but now have!). I hadn’t noticed before, probably because there were so many places to eat on the Francés route.

    Is there anywhere we can share foods in Camino? Like you cooked too much.

    I finished walking the VDLP earlier this month and was so disappointed to see that several albergues had beautiful kitchens, but without cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery. Is this a new trend? It would have been so good to be able to make a meal, especially in places where there were no...

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    Thanks for this! I’m smiling thinking about all the ageing men I might come across😅 Myself and my brother plan to start walking mid April. While I baulk at 50 km a day, I’m not afraid of the longer walks and like to think of myself as being pretty hardy! Thanks for the good wishes!

    The Quest To Walk 50K In A Day

    Oh, my goodness - I am so in awe of you! I’ll be 70 in July of this year and think that I’m quite fit and game to start the VDLP in April of this year. This makes me feel like an old lady ( which I’m not!). Good on you! I just love to hear about people like you!

    Quick Question about the Stamps

    Well, I love getting the stamps so not a problem!

    Quick Question about the Stamps

    I understood that was the case too! When I did the Francés, I only got one stamp/day until Sarria when I got two per day.

    Quick Question about the Stamps

    Talking of stamps, I have just today received my Holy Year passport for VDLP next year 😀. In bold letters it says that two stamps are required per day to validate the journey. Is this something new?

    Another Video - Using the Toilet on the Camino

    For sure! I think I’ll be singing a different song on the via de la plata next year 😀

    Another Video - Using the Toilet on the Camino

    Pantie liners, ladies! Any wetness post- pee will be absorbed, then dispose of the liner later. Do we really need to wee in the.countryside, though? There are so many places to stop along the way - for coffee, lunch, whatever. A quick visit to the toilet then? Am I the odd one out that I walked...

    Trail Runners I'm Looking at

    I bought the cloud ultras for my Camino 2 years ago. By the time I got to Roncesvalles one of my knees was agonising so an unpleasant crawl as far as Pamplona, where I went to buy new shoes. The shop owner was less than impressed with the Ons, saying that they had no support and were just not...

    I went for a walk in the "New" Cathedral today

    It’s beautifu! Lovely to see it without all the scaffolding and plastic!

    LIVE from the Camino Via de la Plata
