    Confused about food safety - food in pack

    There was a lot more to that McDonalds story unfortunately and it would be best to read up about it before writing it off as someone being dumb and just wanting money 😞

    Thanks for the kitchen scale tip!

    I’m one of those that has a spreadsheet. I’m not being fanatical about it but it’s there and I want to keep an eye on things to make it a bit easier on myself. However, for me - and I know this isn’t possible for everyone -, the easiest (?) thing to make my future Camino more comfortable is to...

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    One challenge with the stand up and pee FUDs is that trousers / pants are not really designed for ladies anatomy (hence we end up dropping everything and squatting). There are various brands of pants out there (I'm thinking ziphers shorts/leggings/pants) that change that and have a front to...

    Clothing packing!

    What do you think of the snugpac poncho? I’ve just bought one (not delivered yet though). I’m a little worried that I won’t be visible so have got a load of reflective decals to put on it.

    Should I make reservations? (Feb 2022)

    I’m very much like the Swiss guy - I once did a round the world in 3 months and knew exactly where I was staying for every night before I departed. But I’m hoping to change this for the Camino and learn to be a little more flexible

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    Has any one used the ziphers shorts / leggings under skirts (or on their own). They’re supposed to make ‘watering the bushes‘ easier with less exposure

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    I don’t tend to put much in the pockets, hankie and phone is about all but then who really cares if you’re looking chipmonkish 😀? as the others have said, the waist band is yoga pant style and the main material is quite stretch and VERY forgiving so weight loss/gain is no problem. The material...

    Best all purpose soap

    I agree with all points in this 100%. I haven’t done the Camino yet (hopefully next year) but I’ve done any number of 1-2 week long distance walks. I’d agree with you on Dr Bronners and hair - they just don’t go well together. I’ve just ‘discovered’ laundry sheets and and as you say...

    Cash and credit cards on the camino...

    The is an interesting credit card in the UK called Revolut. It’s a prepaid card but you can top it up whenever you have phone signal/Wi-fi via an app on your smartphone. You can load different currencies and the card will automatically use the local currency first. As it’s prepaid it limits...

    Walking in a "skort" (skirt/shorts hybrid)

    I have a couple of purple rain skirts and I just wear them with biker shorts for the chubrub. Having separate short / skirt combo seems more practical to me 1) coverage when taking care of business 2) ease of washing - you dont have to wash the skirt as often as you'd probably want to wash the...
