    Sleeping bag or Sleeping bag liner

    If you stay in a monetary you may want a sleeping bag. Those old stone buildings do not warm up. After my bed bug experiences i would be careful of using the blankets the albergues supply. They are rarely washed and some are full of bed bugs and their eggs. While 30 minutes at 55 degrees may...

    The Way, My Way - the movie

    I look forward to watching the movie. More for it but i hope it doesn't congest the Camino Frances too much more than it already is.

    Where is this

    I thought i had replied already but apparently not. I did check the 'info' data but i found nothing about location. But that would be nice. I assume newer phones have that option?

    If you had to choose to skip a part of the route. What would be your choice?

    The part of the walk i least enjoyed was Sarria To Santiago. You have more than enough time to do the entire walk. Why not postpone your decision and see how well the walk progresses and then decide to skip some portions (if you need to).

    Walking the Francés

    I have been back for a couple of months now and mostly the walk was wonderful. Although i started in the spring i had to leave for a family emergency. I finished the walk in November. Reaching Santiago, to me, was an amazing experience. The one big downer in my walk were bed bugs. In...

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    You must have put a lot of thought into this stupid and pompous post. I even argue with the fact you say the main reason is to keep from falling.

    Finding this a bit lonely

    I walked the Camino in March. Besides being cooler it was also quite solitary but i did get use to it. long stretches' of road by myself did get me to thinking a lot about everything. It was almost like i was re-organizing my memories. Weird. But on the Francais there would be every now and...

    Permethrin treatment, down bags and putting one’s pack in a garbage bag at night….

    I have read that most bed bugs are now resistant to Permethrin so i am not sure of how effective it would be. I have heard that a product called 'Crossfire' works. Both Crossfire and permethrin are not available to me where I live in Canada. I will make one small suggestion, but some...

    I am considering returning to the Camino in mid October. Will most of the Alberques still be open or do many close?? Would there be difficulties walking in mid October (from Leon to Santiago) Thanks for any help Mike
