    Bus to cross Burgos

    You can have your coffee or whatever while seated outside the cafeteria. The pole Jeff pointed out is the bus stop. You can see the #8 going down across the street. It will turn around shortly so finish your coffee before you see the bus approach that stop.

    The case for preserving the descent into Zubiri.

    On the way from SJPdP to Roncesvalles perhaps the bus driver will allow you to walk back and forth in the aisle.

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    Yes. Technically TL;DR is an initialism. The Center for Disease Control has an explanation (but with examples for its employees). An abbreviation is a truncated word; an acronym is made up of parts of the phrase it stands for and is pronounced as a word (ELISA, AIDS, GABA); an initialism is an...

    Mid March Planning Head Aches

    I suggest taking a really old sweatshirt or sweater that you have or buy secondhand and get rid of it in Pamplona.

    Best tape to prevent blisters

    I don't use tapes myself but I recently viewed a YouTube video where waxed paper was taped and then cut up to make pre-cut patches that were easier to carry than the roll of tape.

    Tracking apps/findpenguins/Relive/ or just simple iphone/google maps

    If you want to use Google Maps but not the live update you can click your location and then, in the pop-up, click Share. You'll then get a number of ways to send your location. This gives you flexibility as to when and to whom location information is sent. You can also add some notes as to what...

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    The semi-colon sort of acts like a wink and a smile doesn't it? And the whole expression agrees with that; "I'm with you. I didn't do my best."

    Butterflies & weeds for you...

    Glad you told me; I would have thought it was butterflies singing. :) Here's a recent picture of our backyard. I usually don't mow until June. Last week I first heard of No Mow May, a good idea.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    We've only spent less than two weeks in Britain but this was a walk we took there. Thanks for the memories.

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    Originally from email or post exchanges like: A posts a long story. B replies "Too long; didn't read." A supplies the summary. Gets converted to: A posts a long story and then adds "TL;DR" and a summary.

    Best way to walk near unfenced cows/cattle

    Reminded me of a cow and dog post I made a few years ago. It has a picture that makes me happy whenever I see it. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/one-day-at-a-time-one-photo-at-a-time-part-3.68436/page-7#post-883883

    Best way to walk near unfenced cows/cattle

    Well, I have one exception. Long, long time ago I met a New Zealand woman who told me she was given the same name as her father's favorite cow.

    Preparing for 2025

    Agree. I much prefered Muxia to Finisterre but walking across Spain to the sea at Finisterre was great. Walking from there to Muxia was a nice warm down.

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    Congratulations. Nice to see it's 999. Allows you to see the odometer turn over.

    From Lugo to Santa Eulalia on Verde?

    You do not actually need Wikiloc to follow the tracks if you have them on your device already. You can use another navigational app that you are more familiar with as long as it is capable to read tracks recorded in the .gpx format. The Wikiloc.com website allows the public to view files and...

    Questions about eSim card

    I don't have an iPhone but I was curious. I found Apple's instructions on this webpage (search for the section titled "Convert a physical SIM to an eSIM on the same iPhone"): https://support.apple.com/en-us/118669

    From Lugo to Santa Eulalia on Verde?

    That can be fixed up with the profile tool at https://gpsvisulizer.com by letting the tool interpolate elevations in a coordinates database. The tool is a bit tricky to use but if you think the profile is critical I might be able to produce it (I've done it on a PC but not on my smartphone).

    From Lugo to Santa Eulalia on Verde?

    Actually easy to do with a text editor. Here are the two tracks joined. I got lazy with the naming.
  20. Rick of Rick and Peg

    From Lugo to Santa Eulalia on Verde?

    I believe the flatline could be caused by someone editing a track with elevation data to remove a section and replace it with a new section without that data (e.g., a more southerly route). Wikiloc then probably plots the profile using the last elevation it saw for every trackpoint that doesn't...
