    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    We are in training for the CP coastal route. This is the west coast of Vancouver Island (Tofino) with sand and surf as far as the eye can see so seemed like an appropriate place to train :cool:

    I asked AI for a picture

    I found the most interesting things to I 'needed' to stop and photograph every time I found myself going up a steep grade (I think I took 147 photos while walking up the hill just past Castrojeriz). Totally had nothing to do with the fact that I was gasping for air...

    Seems that the noble tortoise might be a more representative spirit animal for a Camino AI image :)

    Latest viable date to start this year?

    As you are comfortable in colder weather, I'd argue that walking in Jan/Feb may be the best time of the year to walk now. I've walked twice in that time frame along the CF and with only 2 exceptions, I was able to find open Albergues. I stayed in a hotel once and a pension the other night but it...

    Preventing Rubbing and Hot Spots with Unloader Brace during Hiking and Stair Climbing

    I use an offloader, too. It came with two liner options: a smooth 'sport' option (easier to clean sweat from) and a casual option that was padded fabric. It also came with an elasticized knee sleeve and several extra padding disks for where it contacts the outside of my knee. I found that the...

    Seeking Canadian secular pilgrims who experienced transformation on the Camino for research

    Great finish to this post! Humour is in short supply it seems so it should be enjoyed when it makes an appearance! I'm holding my last two interviews tomorrow however once the paper is finished it certainly will be available for general consumption. Cheers.

    Seeking Canadian secular pilgrims who experienced transformation on the Camino for research

    Hi. Healthy scepticism is never a bad thing. That said, everyone taking part in my research is given contact information for my university’s ethical department to verify my thesis project. As a side note to this, as mentioned in the update section, I have received enough participants and am not...

    Seeking Canadian secular pilgrims who experienced transformation on the Camino for research

    ***UPDATE*** With gratitude and thanks, I have had a great response to this post. I am just in the process of ensuring my first volunteers and I are all on the same page. Assuming this is the case, I won’t be able to take on any more participants. I see more willing volunteers so if anything...

    Small digital camera

    Interested to know what you foresee manual control used for. I ask because in my experience manual controls have allowed me to have long shutter speeds to capture silky moving water, clouds, etc, to bring in more light in dark times like sunrise/sunset, Cathedral interiors, etc, or to create...

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    You won’t regret it! Spring and fall are magical. If you can, consider Milner Gardens, about 2.5 hours north, also wonderful!

    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    With any sun showing we take the opportunity to find a nice local island trail. This year the greens are a treat for the eyes, a reward for all the rain we are enduring. I recently came across a quote by Thoreau where he championed the notion of taking a long walk in the woods to ‘shake off the...

    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    Easy to see all of them that do by googling “which keen sandals have a shank” and then looking in features section. For example: Clearwater CNX
