    more on backpacks size vs weight

    Hi, I am really og seven minds. I have 2 backpacks, one large and one small. The small weighs 600 grams less than the larger one.

    The Camino Curse

    In 2011 I walked my first Camino, something I wanted to do since the midnineties, but kinda forgot about for a while.

    The Camino Space-time continuum

    Just returned from 3 weeks on the Camino Frances and it feels like I never left my house... I look at the pictures my friends are uploading on facebook and think that I must have seen that too... But I don't remember... While I was there it felt as if I had no other life and as if I had...

    Music to keep you going

    Last year, when i was walking injured, i found that one of the things that kept me going was music. Especially music that made me want to sing and walk in tune, also because the change in gait that comes from bend knees actually releived my pain immensely. So, this year I will make a playlist...

    Suggestion for the transport forum

    seems like a lot of people are looking for people to share rides with on the transport forum, would it be a good idea to make a stickypost with a calender where one could note place, date and time for when one was searching for sharers. I dont know of such a calender but I think there must be...

    New shoes

    I think I have decided that new shoes are in order for this years Camino even if i was very happy last year with my Salomon speed cross (no blisters and all together happy feet).

She has changed and she knows it, but she doesn't know exactly how. Sometimes when she sits alone at...

    The mugging of the mad Peregrina

    ...you idiot it is only my food" among the "stop the thiefs" and I am slowly gaining on him, even if he is running without a back pack. The whimp *snickers*. I assume he doesn't realise I am by now quite blue in the head from the running and the screaming and thinking I will drop dead of a...

    Fitting my backpack

    I bought an Osprey Tallon 44 and am very happy with it. I can easily carry what I want to bring on the sholders, but figured the hipbelt is there for a reason.
