I plan to bring Coleman soap sheets. Biodegradable, light and very small container. No idea if they're good for laundry, but I'll try it out before I go, if not I'll switch to Camp Suds, I've used those for pretty much everything on backpacking trips before. I have long curly hair so I NEED...
Thank you both, I shall have a look at that other thread and read thru.
I have started getting gear for my trip that I don't already have (which isn't much really). I got a double size bedbug sheet on amazon.ca. It's really lightweight, as is my sleeping bag (a backpacker's bag) so I can sew...
oh, I just thought of another question.
How necessary do you think hiking poles are for the Primitivo? I understand there is a few rather hilly spots. My budget is limited as well as time, so if it can be done without, I will likely try without (and curse myself when I have to slide down...
I know someone above already mentioned it, but it probably bears repeating. You can always do your utmost to make sure your bag fits the carry-on requirements in both size and weight, but if it's a full flight, and if they're in a mood, they may make you check it anyway if it's something that...
Fortunately the weather was so crappy the week I was there last summer that there weren't even any mosquitoes!
I shall try the squid, and maybe ask them to cut it up in smaller bits so it doesn't look like a squid :)
I do hope to be able to walk the whole of the Primitivo from Oviedo to...
oh thanks for the link, I will definitely have a look at that!
I do love olives and avocados and pretty much all seafood, (even squid and octopus, as long as it doesn't still look like a squid or octopus! ;) ) so I'm hoping that I won't have too many difficulties. I do like to prepare...
Anemone, thank you! Great info there. Currently I am suffering a Sjogren's Syndrome flair so I am following the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol diet, which excludes all grains (including rice), all nightshades, (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers etc), all legumes, eggs, nuts, seeds, and dairy...
Hello everybody, I am just starting out researching and I am really drawn to the Primitivo route. Partly because it is the oldest, and partly because I am a Celt, and visiting the city of Lugo seems appropriate :)
I have celiac/coeliac disease so cannot eat or drink gluten in any form. I also...
I just decided yesterday that I want to do the Camino (after seeing the movie...) and only today started researching. Because I will have limited time, I am thinking I would do the Primitivo route, hopefully in about 12 days. This may be ambitious, but I've got time to train. I walk a lot...
