I loved Find Penguins too. So user friendly. I used it for walking Hadrian’s Wall last year. I did the tracking feature. I did order the photo book at the end and I liked the map it provided of the trail. However, remember to turn off tracking when the walk is completed. I forgot until we...
You’ve received many fantastic replies. I’ll add a couple more. 😉. Loved having a spork. We picked up a few food items for picnics in grocery stores - cheese, nuts, fruit and these great salads in containers that were shelf stable. I had a food storage container but got rid of it because the...
I loved your answer to this comment. And this at the end jumped out at me. My first Camino in 2022 was one of 4 years of planning after a delayed start in 2020. In that time, I did so much research, watched so many videos - I did have high hopes. And…my Camino was magical. Now I did have bad...
Thanks so much everyone for answering this question. This was truly a case of “asking for a friend”.😂 My next Camino in October will start in Astorga since I don’t have the amount of time needed for the full CF. Buen Camino
Lots of good advice here. I’ll add what someone alluded to earlier - indoor walking shoes. Get some recovery footwear like Oofos to wear around the house, etc.
It was so wonderful to see it in theaters last night and to watch the interview afterward. According to Emilio, the backpack was indeed legitimately packed. 💗👍🏻. I’m always bothered by Orisson being out of place 😂
I’m so glad to hear this news! Yay!
As far as bag transfer, I’m sure someone else will chime in with a more thorough answer, but I believe most albergues and hotels will have labels available from the company you plan to use.
Buen Camino! Have a magical adventure 😊👣
I agree with @lt56ny above - make an appointment with an orthopedic doctor. I have had knee issues over the years. I have been x-rayed and told by my orthopedist that I will be a candidate for partial knee replacement in the future. However, since I’m not currently symptomatic (meaning I’m not...
The Dirty Girl Gaiters are not waterproof- they are only for keeping debris out of your shoes. They are a nice soft material that are easily washable and dry quickly. I appreciate that I don’t get a rash on my ankles and calves when I wear them. That is something that did happen every time I...
Both my husband and I absolutely loved wearing the gaiters we got from the Dirty Girl brand on our CF this past September. With the trail being dry and dusty, they saved us from rocks and dirt in our shoes. A lot of people commented on them, wishing they had them. And as I tell everyone, you...
A good itinerary. I would maybe add a stop between Rabanal and Ponferrada to break up that downhill section. And then stay in Herrerias right before O Cebreiro to shorten that climbing day.
Looking for recommendations on a navigation app for the Camino Primitivo. We liked the Far Out app we used on the Frances and have it for the Norte. Unfortunately, we can’t use it on the Primitivo.
TIA
