    Mens convertible trousers

    Vicrev, I've been looking at those too, and wonder: how well do the lower sections remove over boots? Or do you have to de-shoe first?

    Forum Rules

    I particularly like the elegant simplicity of these principles. I also have major reservations about something as drastic as one post per thread. I agree there is a point where too few people can dominate a thread, but two posts isn't that point. A frequency throttle might be interesting, eg...

    Thankyou and goodbye

    Even as a newbie I have already enjoyed Tia's posts and wisdom. I am sad that she and Terry feel the need to leave for the reasons they stated. I take it as an excellent reminder to me to be gentle to all the wonderful souls who contribute to this space. In case I forget to say it again for too...

    Late sunrises and leaving early...how does that work?

    I got a wonderful T-shirt in Berlin a few years ago inscribed "The late worm escapes the early bird." Priceless.

    Late sunrises and leaving early...how does that work?

    Thanks for all the replies, folks! Consensus here seems to be firmly that the need to race for beds is an illusion and one can opt to leave later (albeit before 0830) and still have an enjoyable Camino. Fortview, it would make tons of sense geographically for Spain to join the UK in GMT...

    That's 4 days from Biarritz to SDC...wow! I'm guessing it might be a typo but if not, that's *really* fast walking!!

    Hi, Brian, from a neighbor to your south in Seattle. Nice to see another pilgrim from Cascadia. I've been thinking of 2014 but recent posts on this thread are making me realize how quickly it's approaching and that I need to get cracking.

    Late sunrises and leaving early...how does that work?

    MendiWalker, can one successfully opt out of the "bed race" and still find a bed? That's my real fear. If the camino is just a bed race it seems a lot less interesting... As you say, why spend all that money, travel half way around the world, only to have all that stress...!

    Late sunrises and leaving early...how does that work?

    Agreed about July. My point is that my preferred dates would be to start early May or early Sep when sunrise is significantly later, making the early morning craziness seem even crazier.

    Late sunrises and leaving early...how does that work?

    Hi folks, I'm gathering info and thinking about a 2014 Camino. A question for you all: I've read in many posts about walkers who like to rise at 5am and be on the road by 6am or sooner. I'm a bit anxious about this as (a) I generally hate being up that early, let alone active, and (b) from...

    Liner Socks

    TSA removed sport slick?!?!?! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised any more at anything they do, but that's just goofy and annoying.

    Hi Christine! I'm also from Seattle, and thinking about Camino 2014. FYI some local leads you might find helpful: Local chapter of American Pilgrims on the Camino http://americanpilgrims.com/about/local_puget_sound.html Facebook group for the chapter here...

    Joseph here, from Seattle WA. I've been trying not to think about the Camino since summer 2012. Had a lot of success over winter 2012/2013, but caught the bug again this summer. I now find myself sitting reading this forum at all hours, so I think it might be time to step forward and say "My...
