    Camino Frances. June - July. Gear review

    Just do longer days. Simple as that. I prefer to walk more, around 40 km a day, and just take a zero day at a big city. You need breaks.

    Is less .... more? - Pilgrim footwear

    Great thread! Last June I have purchased Z-Trek Xero sandals. Why? They are 204 grams only. Perfect for my needs, because I do not hike in flipflops and other sandals weight a lot more. I knew nothing that time about "barefoot" footwear. First time I tried walking in Xero was madness. I felt...

    New law gathering personal information from travellers in Spain, starting Feb. 2023

    We have exactly the same system, but not every hotel follows the guidelines. It is possible to leave half of the fields blank during checkin, however receptionist may insist that you fill in every field. Usually nobody cares. Some hotels are getting fined because of that. Believe me, its not...

    Scotland is very beautiful! I was ones in a small town - Stonehaven. There was a Castle on a cliff. And local pub that served hot salmon soup. Instead of the plate they were using bread. So delicios! And a pint of stout, of course.

    Camino Frances in March. Warm clothes

    Thx for the input! I might then take North Face Thermoball instead. Its actually warmer than micro puff. But then it looks like I have too much warm clothes. If I layer up merino long sleeve + thin fleece or 2nd merino + thermoball + raincoat, I can hike in -15C easily. I doubt that it will...
