    Santiago Airport - No walking poles allowed

    I would humbly suggest that if you have luggage going into the hold then put your walking poles in with it. Never had a need for poles whilst checking in and out of airports ;) If you only have 'cabin' luggage then most telescopic poles will fit inside and if you wrap them in a jumper or pair of...

    Daily costs

    A subject close to my heart Br. David.I have been wild camping a lot lately and always with a view to minimum food costs. I am not sure how you define 'scavenging' in your post, but i often 'eat from the land', buy 'expiry date discounted' foods, and wait for 'end of day' market produce to...

    ? when does a hard walk in Spain become a Camino

    @Ivar As you chose to air your dissatisfaction in public instead of sending a PM to me i will respond in public (although i expect you will delete this response if you dont like it - the advantage of forum ownership - delete what you dont like :-) ) I too am becoming 'fed up' with every...

    ? when does a hard walk in Spain become a Camino

    Re: Re:? when does a hard walk in Spain become a Camino It comes as no surprise you don't agree with me Caminando :-) I have walked three pilgrimages so have already 'confirmed my views' which is why i already 'offered my thoughts' :-) And i read all the comments posted. However i dont...

    Another Backpack recommendation request

    Just adding my own thoughts :-) I own a Berghaus back-pack. I was lucky to find an independant seller who was also a keen walker and wild camper and who allowed me to test run number of packs until finding the one that suited me. The make and model i settled on didn't suit the seller at all...
