    Sleeping Bag or Liner in April

    Hi - I just found the Eddie Bauer throw on clearance at my Costco. Would you use this alone or with a sheet, not sure I want the nylon material against my skin.

    The First of Three Caminos

    I have been following eagerly. I really like the stops on the northern route and would love to visit them, just not necessarily walk between them. But definitely some locations to visit after the Frances or or their own.

    Looking for walking boot/shoe recommendations

    That may be correct if I was asking what shoes boots to buy that I plant to use in 2 months. But I am probably looking at 2 years so enough time to try out and figure out what will work ahead of time. As I don't know what will work for me on an extended multi day hiking I need suggestions for...

    Looking for walking boot/shoe recommendations

    Do you know which New Balance you have? I would be going in spring/summer (not this year) but if I get trail runners I would probably use for winter trail running (with crampons) here prior to that.

    Looking for walking boot/shoe recommendations

    Firstly my insurance covers one pair of orthopaedic footwear a year. And the store I use will add pads and make adjustments as needed. I have a pair of Ecco BIOM (low and with Goretex) which I really like but have had for a number of years now. That store stopped carrying Ecco and I'm not sure...

    The First of Three Caminos

    Hi Judy - I really enjoy reading your blog. I just went back and read 2015 and I can't wait to hear how you compare the routes, time of year and travelling alone vs with your husband.

    O Cebreiro starting logistics etc

    Thanks. Obviously my timing and duration will be impacted with coordinating family schedules and willingness to walk more than the last 100km. As I look and read more I keep looking back at the stage or two before to see what I would miss (Cruz de Ferro), but if I keep doing that I will soon be...

    O Cebreiro starting logistics etc

    Starting in Ponferrada would probably be the furthest starting point option. Though it looks like that section is somewhat flat for us to get used to the walk. I'm not sure about the hill up to O Cebreiro, but having the downhill at the beginning may not be the wisest choice either. Do you...

    O Cebreiro starting logistics etc

    Hi - I’m a bit of a planner and would like to do the Camino as a family of 4 when my youngest is 18 - so 2021. I understand that is a Holy Year and will be extra busy. Thinking 7-10 days starting in early June (2020 would require a July start) We are flying from Canada but not sure if we would...

    Still As Busy?

    I am actually thinking of 2021, which I'm guessing will make it quite busy. I would like to go as a family (of 4) when my 2nd is in university, and maybe in early June. Would you need to make more advance reservations in a Holy year? Starting point may be affected by transportation options but...
