    A Camino of blisters and broken things

    I’m sorry about your dilemas, but my friend let’s be serious LOL I try not laugh but it’s too much, you go out to walk however many miles 600 or so, with an old dilapidated backpack, a 400km old sandal?

    If you find someone unconscious on the road

    I‘m sorry about your issues, don’t you think that depending only to inform the people that reads this forum it’s enough? With all do respect perhaps you could enlist a companion? zzotte

    Concerned

    You can count on finding a place to sleep somewhere, maybe take a taxi to a near by town and them return to where you left off? I‘m sorry to say but a lot of “Pelegrinos“ they just a free ride, so a paying option will offer you a better chance, don’t worry too much about that, but check the...

    LIVE from the Camino swollen painful feet

    I’m sorry to hear about your issues, just something I learned during my Caminos, hydration hydration hydration, if you think you had enough water drink some more. I’m not diagnosing your issues but painful and swallowing feet it’s a big sign of dehydration.

    Switching fr boots to trail runners: Wool or Coolmax-type socks?

    that’s an easy one of course wool socks ( about 6 will do ) it’s the only way to go along with a NON water proof trainers zzotte

    Awoke with second thoughts.

    Don’t over think, just do it what feels right to you, can you finish in 15 days? If you can’t it’s ok it’s always the next time, just enjoy it whatever you do zzotte

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Most people will do in day, I did, its tiring and you get there it’s like WOW! With that said, my question is why? Take your time, if you injured your self at the beginning you are done ( as I have learned the Camino isn’t a race)

    What do you do in between caminos?

    Just icing on the cake :)

    What do you do in between caminos?

    well, if you only doing 12k three times a week, and you are planning to walk every day in the Camino, would be logical to train your legs everyday and I mean walking asides from any other form of exercise just my two cents
  15. zzotte

    What do you do in between caminos?

    from a fitness stand, you should be doing 12km everyday, however if want to do 20km everyday on your Camino you should train with a 15lb pack 25km everyday, its just my opinion
