    People with Altra Lone Peak shoes

    I wore Lone Peak 5's for my Camino in April. When I first put them on ready for a hike, they felt really strange especially when walking on concrete or asphalt surfaces. As soon as I got on a trail with ascents and descents, they felt fantastic. For the few weeks before the hike I basically...

    Back to the Camino

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Protocol after a positive covid test

    I tested positive at the end of April on the day before my flight from Madrid to home. The airline didn’t make any other requirements beyond having a negative RAT before flying which took 7 days. I did buy the personal testers from the local pharmacy, this gave me a rough idea of how...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid prior to US travel

    On my last two days I had a runny nose. I thought it was just a minor cold from being around a lot of great people. Prior to my US return I needed to take a Covid test, which came back positive. I ended up staying in Madrid and generally isolating for 7 days before I finally got a negative...
