Nordic walking vs. Trekking Poles
I love my hiking poles. I've been using them for years and use them on every hike or walk I go on. I have the black diamond pro shock poles which have been great for my arthritic knees.

Women over 60 who DON'T take a sleeping bag...
I'm 50 and turning 51 on my Camino Ingles journey. I have never been a sleeping bag user. I've always just left them unzipped like a blanket then one day I discovered <angels singing> the backpacking quilt. I have a Thermarest down quilt that I'll be bringing on my pilgrimage in May 2020.
