    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    Yeah so thats my logic in this thread. Do I ship the trailer as well on the really steep sections? Coastal has less steep stuff to deal with it seems, and this gives me a shorter less risky Camino to get my feet back online and also trial the trailer.

    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    Yeah the injury happened just after the "knee wrecker section" coming into Logrono. My foot was getting sensitive, however coming off the dirt track you come to a road where you walk into Logrono over the bridge. Half way crossing the road, my foot just exploded in pain - on smooth road. I...

    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    Sure is David. Someone started CF a week ago with it but it was stolen in Pamplona. How did you habdle security with your cart? The hipstar advert shows them walking downhill with it in front., but you are right, how do see what you are going over? I'm getting the HD variant with the disc...

    Rescue of peregrina lost in fog on the Route Napoleon

    We did CF in 2019. Started in the last days of May but it was basically a June (summer) Camino. We had snow Orisson to Ronces. We later looked like cooked (sunburnt) lobsters on the Mesta and although we missed it, many we walked with had snow again around Cruz de Ferro. Always have storm gear...

    Backpack courier (Mochila Express) on Coastal?

    Does a pack courier service exit along the coast? I gave myself a permanent nerve injury on CF 2019 and despite orthotics and about every shoe being tested, I get stunning pain in left foot like a bolt at random times and once triggered it's sore for many days afterwards. On CF, on Doctor's...

    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    Excellent I was worried about bits where it is single path right by the road. The tempation is to put one wheel on the path and one wheel on the road edge. A couple of girls got hit not far from me on CF.

    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    Brilliant thanks, yes short ones I reckon I can handle. I might even wear the pack and pull the empty cart for those bits.

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    That's a great idea. How do you know who does or does not accept a small bag being sent forward?

    What parts of the CF are too rough for a 2 wheel hiking trailer?

    I have a new type of hiking trailer on order that works as a trailer with my pack on it, and it also becomes a backpack itself but it doubles the weight to do so. I can mochila express the trailer in compact mode to my next stop and carry my pack like usual if the track is too rough. The problem...

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    Yeah the more I think about it, the more I think I will have to try to fit one of my light down bags in. I'm probablly going to mochilla express my food forward each day so I can have a decent stock pile of food anyway. Also thinking of taking a small automed cooker (think a fancy rice cooker or...

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    Yes, I found a Xunta in Galcia that advertised a kitchen, and all but laughed in my face when I asked where are the pots and pans. Unfortunately I had just purchased provisions for us for the night and morning to use in that very advertised kitchen. Things go worse when I found the overcrowded...

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    Last time I had 3 cameras (phone, 360 degree camera and semi professional but compact video camera). I will just take the 360 degree and phone next time. I also cook many meals due to dietary requirements, so I have more food supplies on board. My exos got pretty full last time. I had every item...

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    I did my first Camino in June 2019 and pretty much all private, municipal and donotivo albergues we stayed at had blankets. Except one night, where I wore my full thermals, long pants, all my top layers, gloves and warm hat. While I was cool, it was okay in my silk liner. I heard somewhere that...

    Organizing tech & electronics gear

    Its a great question. I carried a lot of tech between myself and my 11 year old son. I made a video on powered device on the Camino. I hope it helps.

    New Youtube channel with helper vids on Camino, feedback and suggestions please.

    Thanks Yoyo. I'm actually a children's entertainer in paid life, so pace and humour are essential. Thanks for the PM with advice too!
