    Camino Primitivo - Worst Experience OF MY LIFE!! Do Not Go There!! EVER!!!

    Please don't use misleading headings. Also, don't forget that those people leaving extremely early may be people who don't want to walk in the extreme heat of the midday sun. Also, some people are on a tight budget so can't afford Eu50 per night. I know my friend and I often opted for a twin...

    Do I really need long pants?

    I wore knee length 'shorts' on my first stage in July last year. Used Factor 50 and ended up getting a heat rash on my legs. This year in May I wore long light trousers - admittedly it was cooler, but I was glad to have long trousers as I didn't need to keep applying suncream. My friend got her...

    Walking sticks confiscated at Bilbao airport

    Gary94123 that's interesting that Ryanair didn't charge you for checking them in. Amazing even!

    Walking sticks confiscated at Bilbao airport

    Thanks. Good idea. Was that in Spain? I'm doing some of the walk in France next month. Anyone know if they also have mailing boxes for walking sticks?

    Walking sticks confiscated at Bilbao airport

    Better check with the airport and airline re. checking in the tube. It was the Bilbao airport security which stopped us carrying them on board, but it could just have easily been the airline. Posting to the first night's accommodation would be good, then posting them back to Ireland before you...

    Socks

    I walked with wool socks during a very hot July last year (and again in a coolish May this year). Found wool socks great - just cool down your feet every hour and a half by taking off the shoes, insoles (I use good leather insoles), and socks. Dry your feet, let them enjoy the air.

    Walking sticks confiscated at Bilbao airport

    In Bilbao on 19th May, our walking sticks were confiscated at the airport. We were told that we could check them in if we wished to. We were surprised that we weren't allowed to carry them on with us as we had flown with them as carry on from Dublin airport on 12th May. And the previous year, in...

    Socks

    Even in July last year, I used woolen socks. They were great. The trick is taking them (and of course your shoes) off every hour and a half.

    Logrono booked out 14 May

    Seems like most places are booked out in Logrono this Saturday 14th May. Apparently there's a big sporting event on. Anyone got any suggestions of accommodation for just before or after Logrono?

    Pack Weight

    I would say don't carry any more than 7 kg (preferably 6kg), with water extra. Most people take far too much with them.

    "P-Style" urinary device for women.

    Well done for putting it up there Joodle, but I'm not sure I'll invest!
