      Judy T reacted to Sundevil's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Yes, it made a difference. I am more patient, and it opened my heart. I think of the Camino often, about the people I met and how people of all races and nationalities can get along if they truly try.

      Judy T reacted to Sha-Ron's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Yes it made a difference. It brought us as a family closer together. (4 of us walked together) I pushed myself further than I had ever been before. It made me stronger and enriched my life. It gave me an admiration for the Spanish people and...

      Judy T reacted to Lexicos's post in the thread Did it make a difference with Like Like.
      Walking 800 km is not a small thing nor is it a regular thing so yes, of course it changes you. Some more than others. “It’s poisonal” as we say in these parts, how much it changes you and why. It must mean a lot to many of us though, because we...

      Judy T reacted to ClaireMcMahon's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      My current thinking is that I might pick up a single pole at SJPDP and see how I fare with that for a little while, and then decide along the way if I want to pick up a second or drop the first!

      Judy T replied to the thread Poles or No Poles?.
      Okay, I'll chime in. I don't really use poles on a camino. The main reason is that I don't check my luggage. I have Gossamer Gear LT5 carbon trekking poles, which I use in the mountainous terrain where I live (Montana). They are extremely...

      Claire I didn't start faffing about with two poles until I was more than twice your age. My younger self had no interest in them other than when hiking mountain terrain with a full pack. First couple of caminos I took one collapsible pole, which...

      Judy T reacted to loohoorn's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      Any opposing views? I use one pole when hiking down steep mountain trails in Colorado. Otherwise, I find them cumbersome and added weight. I do not plan on bringing them on my Camino Frances (starting in Pamplona) next month. Anyone happy with...

      Judy T reacted to JerryStroebele's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
      I always just carry one, a very light carbon fiber Black Diamond. It is usually folded up in the side pocket of my backpack. But where the footing is tricky -- rocky, muddy, slippery, very steep, crossing streams -- it is an invaluable third...

      Judy T reacted to JerryStroebele's post in the thread Waterproof Jacket/Coat with Like Like.
      At the top I have an umbrella. Next a Gore-tex jacket that goes most of the way down my butt, next a rain kilt, next, light weight knee high gaiters that keep the rain out of my Gore tex boots. As an old guy I feel kinda funny wearing the kilt...

      Judy T reacted to woody66's post in the thread Waterproof Jacket/Coat with Like Like.
      If you find a lightweight jacket you like use a rain kilt (78 grams)for your bottom half! So easy on and off. I understand the that so many love the Altus. In fact i brought one ;my daughter tested with a hose it did not leak anywhere. But i...
