Such a stressful event. I'm travelling around Australia in a van atm and just read about the storm in detail.
30,000 pieces of luggage in Dubai need to be sorted so the suggestion to buy what you need in Decathlon and start walking may be the best solution.
Friends hiking in Latvia lost their...
Was walking the Portuguese at the same time! It was saturating haha.
The rain poured from above and because the ground was so sodden, and with nowhere else to go, you had to walk shin deep in water with shoes on.
Yes, the non goretex let the water out but my partners’ goretex kept it in, and as...
Exactly the same experience for us and I totally agree. He is now a non goretex devotee!
I did wear injinji toe socks under lightfoot brand socks and once the water squished out, I never felt that my feet were wet.
And a vote here for non goretex Hoka Speedgoats 👣
Wow, so many replies!
My first CF late April 2016 - “I’ll never do that again” (such painful feet!) but……it was so beautiful.

You will really enjoy that combo Camino! Did it in April/May this year. Wasn’t keen on the Madrid at times but in retrospect it was great and the exercise got me ready for the next 2 👣🌻

I’m wondering when Ivar’s storage facility closes as I could send a small package from Lisbon on the 10th Oct (then walking from Coimbra) for pick up in Santiago 2nd November.
Thanks for the information 👣
Yes I’m surprised at the negativity directed at Efren 🥲 He’s entertained many with his magnificent drone photography and happy personality. Give it a break please, time to shut it down 👣👣
When I did the Norte in 2018 and came to the split at Casquita (decisions, decisions!) the thought of more ascents/descents kept me on the Norte which was beautiful too.
After the Salvador I embraced more mountains!!
Just finished Madrid, Salvador and Primitivo.
Definitely the Primitivo was a favourite - beautiful in every respect, scenery was stunning!
Save the entire Del Norte for another time. Are you doing the first part of the Norte from Irun to the split?👣👣
This is such a good idea!! A Coruna is really lovely and the walk to Hercules Tower is along the coastal path!
Wish I’d stayed a few days instead of a day trip.
