  Jarrad reacted to Jeff Crawley's post in the thread Protocol: spending more than one night in an albergue with Like.
  
  Indeed, I remember back in 2001 an Australian hospitalera at Santo Domingo de la Cazalda who kept an elderly Irish lady there for three nights using the simple expedient of hiding her boots - Hester had undergone a double hip replacement and had...

  Jarrad reacted to VNwalking's post in the thread 4 and 5 star hotels with Like.
  
  You might try some of the top-end tours, such as those offered by Nat Geo. That's the kind of accommodation they offer, plus full support for a nice walk. Encouragement to go outside the comfort zone - lots of us who are in our 60s and 70s stay...

  Jarrad replied to the thread BUDGET 2025 - Chemin du Puy (GR65) to Santiago 1 adult 2 kids :).
  
  I cannot see a gîte or auberge giving you a bed for the cost of one and putting two boys in it. Also, I've never seen different pricing for youth than an adult in such accommodations, although I've not walked the Le Puy. And face-to-foot after...

  Jarrad reacted to trecile's post in the thread Is there a good backpack with daypack combo idea? with Like.
  
  I would carry a really lightweight duffel bag that you can offload heavier items into that you don't need during the day to send via pack transport. @J Willhaus has recommended this type of bag available on Amazon.uk. I recently purchased one...

  I walked earlier this year with my daughter who is in the same boat. She took Loop earplugs to take the edge off. They don't prevent her from hearing people or things, just take it down a notch. She said they were very helpful. They are light and...

  Jarrad reacted to SP1111's post in the thread Neurodiversity on the Camino with Like.
  
  I just finished the beginning of the Frances and the entire Portuguese with my teenage neurodivergent son. We took it day by day. When we needed a break, we took one and overall we had a really great time. Taking it slow (or at least being...

  Jarrad reacted to t2andreo's post in the thread Multiple payments for Botafumeiro with Like.
  
  Option 1 is the correct choice. The party that pays gets reserved seating - up front. There is no cost-sharing provision for multiple groups. In my experience, there ARE instances of multiple groups collaborating and making a request under the...

  Jarrad reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread Multiple payments for Botafumeiro with Like.
  
  In these forum threads it often transpires that some people view this as a money-making business, or they question the actual cost for maintenance and operation and see a huge discrepancy between presumed actual cost and the financial...

  Jarrad reacted to Janade's post in the thread Health Impact of Camino walk... with Like.
  
  I only lost a pound or two on my Camino, but my body totally changed. By the middle if the walk I had to start pinning the waistband of my pants so they didn’t fall down.
