    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    You’ve received many fantastic replies. I’ll add a couple more. 😉. Loved having a spork. We picked up a few food items for picnics in grocery stores - cheese, nuts, fruit and these great salads in containers that were shelf stable. I had a food storage container but got rid of it because the...

    The Idea of Camino

    I loved your answer to this comment. And this at the end jumped out at me. My first Camino in 2022 was one of 4 years of planning after a delayed start in 2020. In that time, I did so much research, watched so many videos - I did have high hopes. And…my Camino was magical. Now I did have bad...

    First-time Camino walkers seeking taxi advice for SJPDP to Orisson

    Thanks so much everyone for answering this question. This was truly a case of “asking for a friend”.😂 My next Camino in October will start in Astorga since I don’t have the amount of time needed for the full CF. Buen Camino

    First-time Camino walkers seeking taxi advice for SJPDP to Orisson

    I’m curious if one can get a taxi from Orisson or Virgin of Orisson and go to Roncesvalles? Or do they only return to SJPdP?

    Experience with Plantar Fasciitis

    Lots of good advice here. I’ll add what someone alluded to earlier - indoor walking shoes. Get some recovery footwear like Oofos to wear around the house, etc.

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    Don’t ditch the headlamp! At that time of year, the sun doesn’t come up until close to 9 am. We would’ve been lost, literally, without ours.

    The Way Re-Release May 16

    It was so wonderful to see it in theaters last night and to watch the interview afterward. According to Emilio, the backpack was indeed legitimately packed. 💗👍🏻. I’m always bothered by Orisson being out of place 😂

    Knee pain...help!

    I’m so glad to hear this news! Yay! As far as bag transfer, I’m sure someone else will chime in with a more thorough answer, but I believe most albergues and hotels will have labels available from the company you plan to use. Buen Camino! Have a magical adventure 😊👣

    Knee pain...help!

    I agree with @lt56ny above - make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor. I have had knee issues over the years. I have been x-rayed and told by my orthopedist that I will be a candidate for partial knee replacement in the future. However, since I’m not currently symptomatic (meaning I’m not...

    Short gaiters with trail runners on CF

    The Dirty Girl Gaiters are not waterproof- they are only for keeping debris out of your shoes. They are a nice soft material that are easily washable and dry quickly. I appreciate that I don’t get a rash on my ankles and calves when I wear them. That is something that did happen every time I...
