    Hanging your 'drawers' out for the world to see!

    We walked SJPdP to Logrono last September (2014) ... We went back the end of March (2015) and walked Logrono to Sahagun ... God willing we will return Mar/Apr 2016 to walk Sahagun to Sarria! Revisiting this topic made me laugh ~ We were just so naive about what we thought would be important...

    Questions About Extra Luggage and Travel from Pamplona/Lograno

    Howdy Joe ~ We flew from in/out of Madrid last month. The airport to train station bus was 5euros and picked us up right outside the terminal. We took a train directly to Pamplona (55euros for preferred class) then shared a taxi minivan with three other pilgrims to SJPdP (25euros each)...

    How arduous is the climb over the Pyrenees?

    Yep, changed our minds ... We have a room in SJPdP for Sept2/3 ... We will make a comfortable first day walk as far as Orisson and return to SJPdP by taxi ... Return to Orisson by taxi on the 3rd to continue on to Roncesvalles ... Our decision is based on several factors 1) we have nothing to...

    How arduous is the climb over the Pyrenees?

    My friend and I will be walking out of SJPdP on September 3rd. We have been training and planning for more than a year. Since the very beginning my friend has been most concerned with crossing the Pyrenees. We waiver between crossing in one day, staying in Orrison, stopping at Orrison and...

    Guidance on back pack weight

    We did a full dress rehearsal for the first time yesterday. Fully loaded packs with water and food (about 18 pounds) for a 7 mile hike at a nature area here in South Texas. The hike included steep inclines and declines on rocks! We know the Camino Frances will not have this kind of terrain but...

    Photos of Macabi Skirts in the Field

    Thank you! The sizing area of the web sites states 'For a less full fit in the skirt, go one size smaller. Men, go two sizes smaller.' I hate men (apologies to my beloved husband!) ~ I am not sure what it means either but I had to order a Large so any extra fullness will be provided by me! I...

    Photos of Macabi Skirts in the Field

    Thinking I might need one of these! How much do they weigh? How true is the sizing advice to order one size smaller if you do not want a fuller fit? Thanks for any info~

    Shops in St Jean

    I have, and love, my Black Diamond Ultra Distance Zpoles (16in folded/11oz ttl) ... My hands tend to swell if I let them dangle by my sides for long periods of time, the poles keep them at a nice 45degree angle ... no swelling after 9-12 mile hikes - Yay!!! I am not planning to check my pack...

    Help! Packing list

    Thank you for the ID badge clip idea for our clothesline ... I just ordered 25 off of Ebay for under $6 with free shipping (smaller lots were available) ... What is a jumper? Do I need one and if so, where can I buy one in Texas? (please take these questions in the lighthearted way they are...

    Hanging your 'drawers' out for the world to see!

    We would love to meet and hang out with people from this forum during our pilgrimage. We depart San Antonio, Texas on September 3rd and SJPdP on September 5th. We would die of embarrassment if anyone listened in on our training hikes, the stuff we talk about is just silly. I have completely...

    Hanging your 'drawers' out for the world to see!

    Thank you for all the replies ~ I think C and I will be checking out the boy short/boxer brief option ... We are are not of the small pixie size variety, heck - we did not realize there was supposed to be a gap between our thighs!!! WalkCWalk needs to spend more time figuring out how we are...
