    Worried about my shoes... HELP!!

    I have those shoes and they were great! Not too heavy, cool, yet warm enough...no blisters, not one. But I did take care of my feet, treated the hot spots and rested when I needed to. If you broke them in with no problems you should be good to go. I loved my shoes every step of the way. I...

    trekking poles

    Just an update on the poles traveling on carry on...We traveled late July from the states to Madrid then Santiago with no problem or questions about the poles. On the way back we went through Dublin to the states and again, no problem. I was happy with that because I believe the poles saved my...

    The 10% Rule

    This is an excellent resource! I am going on my first camino (Finisterre/Muxia) in a week and am trying to keep my pack to 10% before food and water and am wrestling with the idea of a fleece.

    trekking poles

    Al the optimist wrote:No the security guy had put them in the confiscated receptacle before while I was fishing out the table knife. When I asked where the pole was he said it was too late. All I can say is that is just wrong! Maybe he/she was planning a trip and needed an extra pole! I'm...

    trekking poles

    Al the optimist: Would they have let you check your poles in Santiago? It seems that a lot of people would be carrying poles at that point!

    trekking poles

    It seems it depends on the year whether trekking poles made it on with carry on luggage. What are people's experiences with getting your poles on the plane. If you ended up checking them, what did you put them in? Any suggestions to make sure the poles make it through?

    cost

    I have searched the forum regarding costs for lodging. In 2010 a post said to plan 30-35 euro a day. Is that still accurate? I am traveling the Finisterre camino at the end of this month.

    Record temperatures in Galicia

    Thank you so much! I will be walking the Finisterre camino in a few weeks and am determining what to take clothing wise, so you post is helpful. Has there been a lot of rain this season?

    clothing/Finisterre

    I am walking only the route to Finisterre in late July and want to lighten my pack. Will I need a fleece or is a long sleeve shirt enough?
