There was a lot more to that McDonalds story unfortunately and it would be best to read up about it before writing it off as someone being dumb and just wanting money 😞
I’m one of those that has a spreadsheet. I’m not being fanatical about it but it’s there and I want to keep an eye on things to make it a bit easier on myself. However, for me - and I know this isn’t possible for everyone -, the easiest (?) thing to make my future Camino more comfortable is to...
One challenge with the stand up and pee FUDs is that trousers / pants are not really designed for ladies anatomy (hence we end up dropping everything and squatting). There are various brands of pants out there (I'm thinking ziphers shorts/leggings/pants) that change that and have a front to...
What do you think of the snugpac poncho? I’ve just bought one (not delivered yet though). I’m a little worried that I won’t be visible so have got a load of reflective decals to put on it.
I’m very much like the Swiss guy - I once did a round the world in 3 months and knew exactly where I was staying for every night before I departed. But I’m hoping to change this for the Camino and learn to be a little more flexible

I agree with all points in this 100%. I haven’t done the Camino yet (hopefully next year) but I’ve done any number of 1-2 week long distance walks. I’d agree with you on Dr Bronners and hair - they just don’t go well together. I’ve just ‘discovered’ laundry sheets and and as you say...
The is an interesting credit card in the UK called Revolut. It’s a prepaid card but you can top it up whenever you have phone signal/Wi-fi via an app on your smartphone. You can load different currencies and the card will automatically use the local currency first. As it’s prepaid it limits...
I have a couple of purple rain skirts and I just wear them with biker shorts for the chubrub. Having separate short / skirt combo seems more practical to me
1) coverage when taking care of business
2) ease of washing - you dont have to wash the skirt as often as you'd probably want to wash the...
