I just completed my FULL camino from SJPDP.
In nearly every case, plastic mattress covers and other measures were being used to prevent bugs. I had no issues. Looks like they are on top of it.
The exception was SAMOS. It looked like everything was dirty and not washed for 5 years. Glad we kept...
This thread is a bit old, however, I lost 10kg by Burgos. I decided I would carry at least 10kg minimum in my pack. My friends had what I called a pussy pack and sent gear on each day. They didn't lose much. They wished they carried more now :) lol, too late.
I also gained a lot of muscle which...
You can load the camino yellow line, from a link on this thread. I look at mine all the time and it shows me where I and makes sure I on the cino path. I started at SJPDP and have been taking side treks for over a month now. I have found a few lost pilgrims and several touristinos(no...
I am on the camino at the moment. With so many fake yellower lees, missing markers and snow earlier in the piece. Not toention finding non standard places to stay and having a record of my trip.
I am so glad I have it with me.
I had a large group follow me through the snow as no one could see...
Re: Free Credentials
The quality of the paper in the credentials I got from Ian, is mech better than the thin paper ones I see along the way. I made a donation for the one I got from here and glad I did.
Thanks Ian for a long lasting quality credential. This will last.
Oh well, back to my camino :)
Walking camino France's at the moment. Some places for water can be a long way between drinks. Everyone I know at the moment is carrying two or three litres minimum. You never know
I posted here before I walked the camino, I fall into bed. I must admit I am leaving the bed bug care and checking to the vigilant care takers. After looking up the subject in detail, it would seem you have just as high a chance in the USA. It's a worldwide problem.
If you have the valcaros rout, that would be great. At least i could join up with that one. If the weather is rainy but not dangerous, at least i will know i am heading in the right direction and not worrying about missing the signs. Bad weather is one thing, getting lost is another. I llve...
Hi all,
I am leaving SJPDP on the 13th April. I am staying at Orisson on the 13th night. Incase the weather turns bad, does anyone have a gpx trak for an alternative to Roncevalles via a lower road. I hear there is a short cut just past Orisson. I could use google earth but this may not be a...
I start my Camino on the 12th April. If I don't get blisters, thirsty or bitten by bed bugs, I will feel like I have missed out. Since the bugs are attracted to CO2, I will sleep next to a mouth breather. :)
This is an old thread. I was looking on youtube, and saw that so many people have gotten lost.
Yes there are markers, however, I saw one guy who even recorded his last will and testament on his phone last year.
Geo caching is fun as well. I have only tried this twice, but it was fun.
I ormally...
I like a bit more overhang myself. I make my own. I use an extra large sarong type material and use chemicals. As I am not laying directly on it, I am not worried. I dilute the concentration as I make a new one each time for other locations. The Camino is not the only place in the world with...
Re: Free Credentials
Hi Tyrrek and Tyson,
I am in Australia (W.A.) mine came through no problems.
May I be so bold as to say.... These cost time and postage money to send. a few English pounds. They are not free for the sender. A donation, whilst not mandatory, would be appreciated I am sure...
I still cant find this on Google earth. Do you know where this is. It was mentioned above and all i can see is an industrial type building at the end of the bridge. It may have been a camera angle or something.
For what it's worth, I agree 100% with your take on the film. I have seen it about...
Re: Free Credentials
Mine arrived today.
You should have seen the smile on my sick friends face. It was so, so nice to see after all the things going on for them.
Thank you so much!
