Hi vis vests
I have to say that I do carry a high vis jacket. It's made of pertex, very very light, yellow in colour and is fairly wind proof. I can assure you ,very handy when crossing the Pyrenees. Jolly handy piece of kit. .- Waka

Rucksack flight bag
On my camino trips from Gatwick I use a couple of rain covers, one for the back and the other for the front. It hides all those tentacles and to hold the the luggage info a lightweight strap around the middle. It has worked for me on several trips.- Waka

Time for more compostela type certificates?
I agree stop issuing certificates. If you are a pilgrim and you're doing the journey for a certificate then I think you're doing the pilgrimage for the wrong reason. Just my thoughts, pease don't hang me out to dry, or worse still have me cancelled.- Waka

When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .
Reviews of albergues are just peoples opinions, we must remember the majority of the people who give these bad reviews are holiday makers not pilgrims, unfortunately they don't know the difference between the two. For me, I love staying in the local albergues, it's all part of the experience...- Waka

Type 2 Diabetic on the Camino
I have been T2 for over 10 years and have never experienced any problems with my feet. On my first camino I got one small blister on my little toe, this was due to the wrong size shoes. I regularly walk 12/15 miles to stretch the legs and find with the right shoes and socks you'll be fine. I am...- Waka

Who's counting…
I'm not really counting because my start date is the middle of September, but flight is booked, Albergue reservations up to and including Zubiri booked and training started 3 weeks ago. This will be my third camino and I'm as excited as I was on my first. But who's counting!!- Waka

A new means of transporting luggage and people at SJPDP
Looking at the prices from Biarritz to SJPDP they appear to be in line with EB, I think it's always good to have competition. I used EB 9 years ago ad could't fault them. This year I'm doing the bus and train, I'll probably get lost between the airport and the bus stop, as they say it's all...- Waka

UK - The Old Way - Southampton to Canterbury
A few years ago my wife and I walked from Winchester to Canterbury, a very nice pilgrimage. The only downside was the accommodation or lack of, my feeling were that it's not very well supported or organised as a recognised pilgrim route. This did not put us off the journey and we really enjoyed...
