    Is the Camino losing its identity

    Imsundaze: Thank you. I will transport pack if needed, but hopefully not at all. I do not like the though of losing the spontaneity if I do so, so it will be a last resort. I shall do as you suggest and listen to this old body.

    Travel With or Purchase on Arrival

    Recently purchased a set of Black Diamond Trail Pro Trekking Poles. Much reading here tells me that it is not likely that I will be able to fly to and fro my Camino with these unless I check them. I am hoping I can check my Gregory Zulu 4oL. That being assumed, ought I return these and...

    Is the Camino losing its identity

    I am planning my first Camino (Frances) in Sept/Oct 2017. I will have just turned a ripe 73 years old and have a number of pains and infirmities from 73 years of "life." It is not my plan, but if I had to use a courier to transport my backpack on a few occasions, I would hope that others not...

    The Nun and the Templar - Paying for Sello (Stamp)?

    I guess when I see an occurrence once, I do not assume that it is the norm. On the other hand, if I see something regularly, I learn that this is the norm and a practice to be followed. But, I never judge a book by its cover or an individual by what I see them doing or wearing. Long ago...

    Paying Books Forward

    No OzAnnie, there is no "meet up" group here. How I wish there was! I live about 250 miles north of Detroit, MI, up in the "Great White North" on the 45th parallel. Pretty sparse population here and I know of no other previous pilgrims in the area. Thus, I live here in the forum "meet up."

    Paying Books Forward

    I have a few books that I have completed (or nearly). I am willing to pass these on free (maybe an offering for postage?) to whomever speaks first. Only thing I ask is that you do the same when you have completed your reading. Call of the Camino; Robert Mullen A Million Steps; Koontz The...

    I am sure you are right, but I'd like to be "close." Have lots of time, so will continue my quest to pass your 10K walks test.

    Looking at trail runners presently. Think I need to make another 400 mile R/T to my nearest REI. Cabelas had a fair selection, but more to try at REI.

    Not New, but Have a "How To" Forum Question

    How do I add a quote (that I wish to reply to) into my post?

    My regular, normal shoe size is 11E. So, looking at shoes/boots in 11.5E Looked at New Balance trail runners (seem to get good reviews here) today. But, in their models Leadville V3, 910V2 and 610V5 they only have widths in D and 2E in my 11.5 size. So, had to pass, I guessed. Walking in...
