    No farmhouses

    For those of you amused by the thought of a Lamborghini tractor you might want to check out "Clarkson's Farm" on amazon prime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkson%27s_Farm. A Lamborghini tractor is prominently featured.

    "The Way": shooting locations map

    It wasn't until we returned home from our Camino and looked at our pictures and realized, "hey, that's where the backpack was returned!" Thanks to Seawarrior for mentioning that one.

    iphone verses camera

    If you're getting duplicates with only some photos, it is possibly due to the iPhone auto-HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting to keep a normal exposure along with the HDR. You can turn it off so that it only keeps the HDR version. You can also turn off auto-HDR and just use HDR selectively, rather...

    A Camino Miracle (Astorga to Santiago)

    Candice, I followed you and Alan on your Camino on trailjournals and was so amazed at your post on delivering your Milagros in Santiago. I wish we knew of this tradition when we walked our Camino last Sep/Oct. We walked with our "intentions list" and remembered those on it every day of our...

    2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS

    Hi Sarah, My wife (Mary Jane) and I will be starting from SJPdP on Sept 19th. We'll be taking the Valcarlos route to hopefully have an easier start. We're excited - and anxious! This is our first Camino.

    Training for October 2015 – with metatarsal stress fracture

    Hi C- My experience with a stress fracture has been very similar to yours. Diagnosed via MRI May 5th and no real walking until July 30th! 12 weeks! But, it seems that the time off was what was needed - plus I had plenty of time to paint my garage. I feel under-trained for our Sept 19th start...

    Transportation from/to Madrid

    A bit more looking on caminosantiago.me pointed me to raileurope.com which suggested to put in a date less than 30 days from today to see pricing and schedules. That worked! Does that in general mean you can't get info/booking until at least 30 days prior? If I try the links in Kanga's post of...

    Transportation from/to Madrid

    Joe, I'm trying to get more info on the TRENHOTEL night train schedule and costs leaving Santiago the night of Oct 29 to arrive Chamartin Oct 30. Can you give some specifics on how to buy tickets or at least find out prices? If I google for trenhotel and go to...

    Feeling overwhelmed

    I second the use of binder clips. I use one to clip the hood of whatever piece of rain gear I have to the bill of my ball hat keeping everything in place. Also use them to hang drying socks off the pack.

    What do you carry your stuff for the day in if you've sent your pack ahead?

    Thank you everyone! Using an alternate container as the "send ahead" bag makes perfect sense - it hadn't occurred to me. GettingThere - was there ever a situation where having the suitcase was a liability? Where you always able to get it to your next destination?

    What do you carry your stuff for the day in if you've sent your pack ahead?

    For those of you that may use a pack transport service, what do you use to carry your stuff in for the day when you don't have your full pack? It seems like I need some kind of day pack big enough to carry rain gear and room to take off or put on layers as needed. What do you do? This is for an...

    Training for October 2015 – with metatarsal stress fracture

    Jayree I see you're from Gig Harbor and I just had to relate our recent Gig Harbor experience. On the way around the Olympic Peninsula we were low on gas so got off Rt16 at Borgen. After getting wrapped around the axle in all the roundabouts we waited in line at Costco for gas only to find we...

    Training for October 2015 – with metatarsal stress fracture

    Add me to the "me too!" group C Clearly. In February I was noticing some pain above my normal metatarsalgia. May 5th an MRI confirmed a stress fracture in my 2nd toe left foot. Stopped all walking for exercise/distance at that point. Doc I saw wanted to prescribe a post-op shoe. I tried it on...

    Trekking Poles???

    I have Pacer Poles but find I don't care for the feel of the grip in my bare hand and have been using cheap garden gloves when using them. Do many of you use gloves or fingerless gloves with your poles?
