  It's not hard, but not necessarily intuitive. This may help: https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/28/20936113/apple-watch-emergency-sos-fall-detection-set-up-how-to When I started living alone, this feature gave me great peace of mind.

  Thanks @C clearly. A nicely presented and interesting piece. It is something I have thought of quite seriously at times. My choice is generally for the "roads less travelled" and while I enjoy company I am usually walking by myself. A couple...

  Not only interesting, but great photography and well-written. Much higher standard of journalism than most of what we get Down Under (we do have exceptions, but they are exactly that) Thanks for sharing

  Here is an interesting article from the BBC website that is a good safety reminder for people who venture into unpopulated areas. Let me emphasize right away that there is not much applicability to the Camino Frances or other popular routes...

  roisin431 replied to the thread My perfect ultralight sleep setup.
  
  I used a single, light weight duvet cover. It was lightweight, I could climb in and had lots of room to move around. It was off the bed in our spare room and it’s back there now. For some the Camino is the only time they’ll need any of this...

  roisin431 replied to the thread Camino by skateboard?.
  
  I did the Portuguese route in April, many parts of the route can be quite with few other pilgrims. Especially if he sets out a little later. There’s lots to explore off the beaten track that skateboarding would be great for and yes maybe towards...

  Hola, peregrinos. I set out from St Jean on 7 September 2001. Yes, four days before That Day in New York, so that was an interesting time for sure! Aside from that, the airline I was booked to go home on nearly went bankrupt and my left knee...

  roisin431 replied to the thread Cheating.
  
  I noticed this too but I thought it was a good gesture to give discounts to locals. Often when you live in a place filled with tourists of any kind the increase in prices push the locals out. We are simple passing through while locals are...

  On the days I wanted to spend time away from the noise, I took a slow morning in the hostel, woke up later, enjoyed a nice breakfast and set off after everyone else had packed and gone. I found by doing this puts you on a bit of a different...
