  Rmarkob reacted to Ken & Liz's comment on media item Elevation profiles of the tracks from St. Jean Pied de Port to Roncevalles with Like.
  
  In the past I used the book by John Brierly and recently purchased the new version. I have down loaded the Camino Ninja and find it very good with elevations, distance and Albergues all listed and their costs. The best thing about the Ninja is...

  Rmarkob reacted to Antonius Vaessen's post in the thread Primitivo vs Le Puy with Like.
  
  I walked both. Regarding difficulty there is not much difference as far as I remember. The Le Puy route at least the first weeks, consists for a big part of walking in and out of valleys. Most walkers on the Le Puy are indeed french so the...

  Rmarkob replied to the thread Merino Wool T-Shirts / Socks - Brand Suggestions Please?.
  
  I’ve only used Darn Tough socks on 3 Caminos and weekly hikes at home, and never had a blister. I use Altra Lone Peaks a half size larger than my normal shoe size which may account for that. I don’t have any short sleeve merino shirts, but have...

  Rmarkob reacted to Bedspring's post in the thread The price of items in bars and cafes with Like.
  
  My daughter asked me why when I have so much money, why do I always ask the price and why am I so cheap, and I told her to go away and think on it.

  Rmarkob reacted to MinaKamina's post in the thread Pilgrim attacked by bird of prey with Haha.
  
  Perhaps it was a peregrine falcon? The Camino del Norte is 850 km long. Whereabouts did this happen? Birds of prey occasionally attack humans in general, they have no specific preference for pilgrims.

  Rmarkob reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread PTSD on the Camino with Like.
  
  My “anniversary” is coming up. London 7 July 2005. Always a difficult day. I do use the tube these days but not that day. I made it into the office. Lots didn’t. Front desk security gave me a long look and then offered me a clothes-brush. One of...

  Rmarkob replied to the thread Maintaining weight on Camino.
  
  I started eating low carb* about a year before my Sep/Oct 2021 CF, and lost about 16 pounds/7kg by the time I left for Spain. Upon my return home, I discovered that I had lost an additional 16lbs/7kg. I probably lost more over the 32 days I...

  Rmarkob reacted to Linda SLP's post in the thread SJPDP pilgrim office - why? with Like.
  
  You don't have to stand in line if all you want to do is walk in and look at the boards and see the statistics. If you want somebody to give you You actually don't need to stand in line if all you want to do is walk in and look at the boards and...

  Rmarkob reacted to Mananath's post in the thread SJPDP pilgrim office - why? with Like.
  
  I stopped in at the office this afternoon. Lovely people. I got a stamp, a map for tomorrow and some conversation. Only waited about 10 min. I have nothing to compare to but it seems that SJPDP isn't very busy right now.
