    BEDBUG update and Villafranca de Bierzo

    Hey MermaidLilli, I was just writing a reply to you and it disappeared! anyway I was saying that I think you took the more comprehensive photos of my bedbug bites (Its Lynn the Aussie woman).

    Starting in September

    Greetings all and thanks for the replies, I am still undecided between a gortex (or gortex like) jacket and the rain coat that extends to cover your pack (Janet mentioned it). I am more inclined for the jacket as I dont think the rain coat breathes very well. I wondered about taking my crocs...

    Hand washing clothes

    Re: shoes and socks Thank you Gittiharre, sorry not to reply sooner but I had a family emergency. I have bought a pair of Kathmandu Event midi boots - I was told they were goretex but I dont think that they are but gortex-like. I thought about the mud and went with the boots but I also have...

    Free on-line Language Learning

    I am looking at the language cd's at Earworms - they aren't free but reasonably priced. I like the idea of using music to learn plus it does activate more areas of the brain. Theory (or may be fact) that this aids learning and memory (with repetition). Mind you I have only recently realised that...

    Starting in September

    Thank you all for your replies and for your help. I bought a sleeping bag from Mountain Equipment in the city (Sydney). Its an Exped Sparrow M R. I went with the down fill as you say its lighter, it has a large pocket inside so that I can put things into the bag whilst sleeping and this pocket...

    Starting in September

    Greetings mmmdumplings & falcon269, I too am going to walk from Le Puy-en-Velay leaving Sept 1st (I hope) to walk to Santiago and then onto Finistere. I have nearly 3 months but am not going to push it - I want to do the walk and will take as long as it takes, changing my return flights if...

    Hand washing clothes

    I am going to walk the Via Podiensis from Le Puy starting on the 1st Sept. It will be my first time on the camino and I am very much looking forward to it (and walking everywhere at the moment!) I was thinking about a soap bar that would do for myself and for washing clothes - has anybody...

    I have decided this evening to do the Pilgrimmage and just found this site. I have no idea about when I will be going as I need to begin the process - well have just begun it with this post I suppose and the earlier decision really. I looks like I wont be able to go until August - though from...
