  1. Bedspring

    I have now narrowed my book choice down to two.

    I bought Micheners Iberia, but the format was too big, and any roads as I will be in Spain, I thought reading about something else would be a change

    I have now narrowed my book choice down to two.

    I have now narrowed my book choice down to two, Patrick Leigh Fermors Roumeli https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/766415.Roumeli Or Anthony Seldons The Path of Peace https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63224519-the-path-of-peace , I love reading Fermor and was in Waterstones today and was...

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    Yes, with Clarity, as soon as the cash withdrawal shows on your account, the best thing to do is pay it off.

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    When using one of my cards, my Bank does not charge me. However in Italy, Spain, Lao, Thailand, Morroco and Vietnam I have been charged, in the last 12 months, unless I have been wise in my choice of ATM. But TBH all I am interested in is being able to easily spot free a ATM, so if my wallet is...

    An App, there is always and App, I shall download it now, Mucho Gracias.

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    Yes DB was always a good one to aim for sad to hear this is changing. I think I will get some from an ATM in France. Obviously do not wish to spend hours walking from ATM to ATM checking fees, but if I know in advance and spot a free one as I go I will get a top up, and the trick as always, is...

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    Why is that on Forums, when someone asks a specific question, someone has to question their motives, when it is absolutely non of their business. Why not go and start your own thread. This thread could have been a good resource for people looking for low or no fee ATMs.

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    Maybe a list could be formed. Abanco / LiberBank

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    I have noticed a few threads about cards and with drawing money. For me as a UK citizen with the top 3 overseas cards, Chase, Clarirty and Barclay card, the main issue is where to find low fee ATM along the Camino. Any pointers appreciated.

    Hiking poles on the plane in Santiago!

    Thats a shame regarding the Airlines. As far as I am aware, it is not within the remit of individual airports to make exceptions https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32006R1546 , the confusion regarding trekking poles is that they cross over with walking aids, which due...

    Hiking poles on the plane in Santiago!

    This stuff is an ongoing issue in the Climbing world for years, can you take ropes and quickdraw into the cabins, probably other pastimes have a similar issue. At the end of the day, this is about aircraft safety and binary. Either it is safe or is not safe, and should be a national or...

    Hiking poles on the plane in Santiago!

    I saw people at Naples Airport in April boarding with poles. It really is frustrating, do you pay £30 for hold luggage, per flight, or risk having your £x cost poles confiscated.

    Be careful with phones.

    I highly recommend listening to this, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001z69m it has a section quite early on about phone theft and what you can and should do. Basically set your screen lock to 30 seconds, set up the security features available via Apple, Samsung or google, such as remote...

    Pacemaker Implant Surgery Tomorrow. A New Phase for Future Caminos.

    All good news. Obviously take advice from your consultant, but when I had mine fitted as an emergency procedure, I had a torrid time psychologically not helped by a consultant with no interest in my lifestyle in the outdoors. I found a new consultant who is a climber and fell runner. His policy...

    Are there any Thermal Springs along the Camino Frances

    A nice warm soak eases tired bones, and I was just wondering if there are any Thermal Spas along the Camino Frances

    Pork in Spain

    Is that the case in places catering to budget travellers trying get meals out at fixed prices, I always thought that somewhere in Spain there would be huge air conditioned sheds mass producing pork for the catering trade and supermarkets. I suspect to be eating free range acorn fed you need to...

    Pacemaker Implant Surgery Tomorrow. A New Phase for Future Caminos.

    The advice re placement and back pack straps is excellent, if I was you I would put my back pack on now, with no shirt on, and mark with a pen where they are, and ask the surgeons to do their best to avoid. A Pacemaker should cause very little to no hinderance to your activities once the initial...
