    Leg Pain

    I am having the same issue. I have been taking ibuprofen twice daily and mine is getting a bit better. The first 4-5 days it was red above the ankle in the front and very hot to the touch.

    Packing shake down requested - Camino Frances - Oct/Nov

    The three things I wish I HAD brought are a third pair of underwear(which I saw that you had), gators, and sandals that I could hike in to give blisters a break. I feel like the gravel dust is chewing up my socks/inside of my shoes, and my feet. It’s quite dusty! And I had all three in my...

    Back from Orisson by taxi

    If I were to do it over, I would arrange to be picked up at the Virgin of Orrison statue above Borda. It’s 3k farther, but makes the second day shorter. Bourecott does this also. You would still have plenty of time to have lunch at Orrison as I think they pick up there at 1 or 2. Options!

    Pamplona to SJPdP 10 September 2023

    I bought a bus ticket!🤦‍♀️ I was able to book a hostel near the bus station, so I went ahead and bought a ticket.

    September 10th 2023 Pamplona to SJPdP

    I booked a commuter flight for $60 a few months ago. It only takes an hour. Maybe you could check on one also?

    Help for American buying bus ticket from Pamplona

    I am trying to purchase a ticket for the ALSA bus from Pamplona to SJPDP. It requires a document, which I believe is my passport number. I click other(as the two other choices are Spain) and then under “issuing country”, every country imaginable is there except the United States. I have sent...

    September 10th 2023 Pamplona to SJPdP

    Hadn’t thought of that. I’m going to buy my ticket before there isn’t one. Thanks!

    September 10th 2023 Pamplona to SJPdP

    Thanks! I plan to purchase a ticket today, but just thought I would throw out the taxi idea, just in case there were others looking to go.

    Time to Critique my list and weights!

    I did a similar spreadsheet, which I’ll be posting in the next few days. I’m around 11-11.5 lbs.(5-5.2kg), without food or water. What else can we do while we pine away our time until we leave for Camino?😄. I leave in 37 days from Florida . Congratulations. Well done!

    Altra trail shoes versus hiking shoes

    I have worn Altras as hiking shoes for several years and they have worked well, but I agree that they don’t seem to last as long as other hiking shoes that I have used in the past. I recently purchased Altra Olympus 5 Trail runners and they are much more sturdy and have a vibram sole. I wore...

    Pamplona to SJPdP 10 September 2023

    I will also be going to St.Jean on that day. What time will you need a taxi? I am hoping to get there sometime during that day, so that I can check in and buy poles, etc.

    Taxis, insurance & money questions

    For insurance I can recommend TravelGuard, since you are going for a shorter trip. I made a claim through them on a cruise in which my father became ill. It took a couple of months but everything was re-embersed, and they would have even covered my meals, although I didn’t save any receipts...

    Camino Frances in October - long or short-sleeve merino?

    Let me throw another idea into the mix.😄 I will carry two short sleeve merino tees and a pair of merino sleeves. I also plan to bring a very thin fleece 1/4 zip, and a packa rain jacket. This allows me to pull the sleeves down without removing them on chilly mornings or add them for sun...
