    Two pilgrims injured in an attack by a cow

    On the via Podiensis we walked through cattle and huge horned bulls laying right on the path in the Aumont-Aubrac. I was always very leery of them no matter how cute and docile they looked!!!

    Hiking Pole Rehoming Service?

    Good idea. My daughter and friend will be buying poles in Oviedo on the 15th of July and will be ditching them in Santiago or Muxia when finished. We will do the same and ask if there are any people who are interested in recycling.

    Miam miam dodo necessary?

    We made it without it this past fall but sure wished we had bought one in Le Puy because a few times we relied on it from fellow pilgrims. Very comprehensive guide.

    San Anton albergue (Castrojeriz) closes till further notice

    I spent some time there in 2013 although not overnight. My thoughts even then were that even though it is a lovely place, it IS a crumbling ruin. It was a little disconcerting at the time. A piece fell on a bus? Good thing it wasn't a pilgrim!!!

    Lost & Found Backpack stolen from albergue in León

    It is but precautions must be taken as with anywhere. It's pretty rare for an entire pack to be taken but I guess it obviously happens. Hoping for a miracle for the OPs wife.

    Injinji Wool Liners Only?

    I'm looking for the same info. I have worn the liner inside wool socks and it keeps me from toe blisters which I am prone to. I'm seeing a lot of wool injinis and wonder if they alone would do double duty. I'll be walking the Primitivo in late summer.

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    When I trained for the CF, I walked from my house to the next town where I live which is 20 kilometers with my pack. My mind filled with doubt when at the end of the day I asked myself if I could get up the next morning and do it again. Surely not and why would I even want to. The Camino...

    Alert WARNING: Sexual predator near Tuído on Portuguese Central

    Lol sometimes the Camino itself is bloody miserable. I think you make a lot of assumptions. Any men looking bloody miserable? I'm sure there are lots of women out there kicking their partners asses.😅😅

    Alert WARNING: Sexual predator near Tuído on Portuguese Central

    Firstly I am so pleased that you are such an independent strong woman! Kudos!! am one of those women whose husband has a faster pace. Please check your perspective. Bloody miserable? Why because you think the woman needs coddling on the way. Or miserable because she's walking with a man? I...

    Pack Cover Failure

    I have walked the CF, the Portuguese from Lisbon, the Camino del Norte and most recently the Via Podiensis and am planning a summer Camino this year on the Primitivo. Have walked to Finesterre and Muxia and in between plus I do much hiking where I live in Colorado. I separate my gear into 4...

    Pack Cover Failure

    I do this. I just wouldn't like the outside of my pack sopping wet. So maybe a poncho this time.

    Pack Cover Failure

    Yes, rain suits also hold in the heat. I don't think there is any way around that.

    Pack Cover Failure

    My drain holes are on the bottom. They just don't stay on the bottom with my pack cinched down. Will try a smaller one.I have an Osprey logo on my pack cover. It's always right side up.

    Pack Cover Failure

    Thank you, the Osprey pack covers already have a drainage hole the way you describe. It's not situated correctly for my cinched down pack. When I cinch the pack cover tightly the hole shifts to be closer in to my body and the cover fills. Maybe I can put another hole in or just buy a smaller...

    Pack Cover Failure

    Does anyone have any experience with getting a custom rain cover for an Osprey pack? After 4 different caminos I am now grappling with using my rain suit which I prefer vs a poncho because my pack cover has failed miserably, as in filling up with water at the bottom no matter how much I cinch...
