Marska, just came down today. Was dry and doable. Not fun, but just went slow and made it. Its suppose to rain later and tomorrow, but forecast are not always right.
One of the comments on Wise Pilgrim said it was about 4km extra. I've seen mixed messages about walking the road, some say okay, others like in Wise Pilgrim say don't. I guess a lot depends on the weather. This one is a concern for me too since it will be my first long day of walking. Only...
My choices so far are Wranglers from Walmart. 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex boxer brief a size larger than normal worked for me. Should last and dry Quick, or REI Wool and Tencel boxers or boxer briefs. Smartwool didn't fit well. I'll be hiking in cooler weather. I've been trying different kinds for...
Speculation on my part, but I think the delta between years is influenced by holidays which fluctuate (easter, festivals, etc). It might be a good overlay to see these in the data if you are looking to understand the deltas or looking to pick an ideal time to go. (fewer people)
This has been a big question for me too, what camera to take. I won't get to go on my camino for a while so I've been going back and forth, but the best advice I read on the web was don't take anything you can't afford to loose. I was debating with my options, my nikon z50, my pixel 7pro, or...
Thanks, enjoyed your video. I'm thinking of doing the Sarria to Santiago first to see if I can make it given my arthritis in my hips. It is encouraging to see others making the journey.

The instructions to delete a My Maps I copied for you below. To get into my maps, try this link

it should be your normal google log in. Once...
Actually thanks for this. For me when I click on the CNIG Caminos I get the options to turn off what is shown. So if you can do that you could remove all the check marks and the data would disappear from the map. At least that is how it worked on my phone.
Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo Pants is what I got. Nylon with pockets, much more reasonable than Duluth pants. Have worn for local hikes and they worked well. You can always wear with thermals for winter.
As indicated above, it is the Debit card from Schwab for ATM fees that get re-embursed. For purchases you might consider a no fee credit card. Bank of America has a blue card with No annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. You don't want to use the credit card at the ATM, just the debit...
I got these below (for when I make my pilgrimage). I have already packed and use for while I train with the pack loaded. I used the 4 small sizes for clothes and stuff, the large one I planned for dirty clothes and to wash clothes. Also the compression sack for the sleeping bag since it is...
