    DSLR-camera on the camino

    So I haven't read this whole thread, so I am sorry if I repeat that which has already been said. My advice is simply that using a DLSR on the camino will be more of a hinderance. I am a photographer, qualified in Multimedia. I love my camera, and I would never usually use a compact camera. I am...

    John Brierley

    Hi folks! I am returning to the Camino this year. I am just wondering does John Brierley have a new edition out this year for 2013? Go raibh maith agat, do chara trid Criost. Is Mise Críostóir MacAodha

    underwear

    Sadly they just made me redundant and closed the only store on our island, and I have no time to order them, but they had a great range.

    Why we walk the Camino

    About a year ago, while working in a shop, having failed to get a job in my qualified field, I picked up a travel magazine. Having been diagnosed with an illness at birth that meant I could not visit many of my desired locations, that often feature in these magazines, I found an article about...

    March 2012 anyone?

    I only came across this. I will be starting my walk on the 1st of March, maybe the 2nd depending if the long day travel before hand has worn me out. I'm really in the same boat. A ton of research, but I am getting really apprehensive :s Go raibh maith agat, do chara trid Criost. Is Mise...

    underwear

    I didn't want to start another thread for this post so I am kinda hijacking this one. Sorry. But Merino Wool underwear? I was buying my last few bits and pieces yesterday when the fella who worked the the store advised me to get them for the walk? Does anyone else wear them? Are they actually...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    I've not gone on my Camino just yet, but one thing I never travel without, a permanent marker. In normal hostels it comes in very handy to mark your stuff so it is less likely to go missing. Is this something that may be useful on the camino?

    Best guide book for the Camino Frances

    Folks, I bought the 8th edition of Brierley's guidebook, and frankly it is useless. I don't mean the information within it, but the fact that nearly all the pages are cut off at the edges, but like full chucks of sentences are gone, so I can't even guess the sentences, especially the Spanish...

    Knife?

    Well, I don't drink alcohol anymore, so the corkscrew is not needed. I may wait until I get there, as suggested, and donate it when I am done. However, I bought a souvenir when In paris, based on the swiss army knife, but the blade is basically sharp enough to cut string or cheese, when the...

    Knife?

    Hi folks, it's me again, sorry for all the questions. I may have dived in too quick, as I have already booked my ticket to spain. On the 1st of March I will be in St Jean. SO this means you will prob see a lot of panic questions. Knife. People say that this is essential, my questions being...

    Rucksack and Boots

    It's about to pay for mine too :)

    Rucksack and Boots

    Free boots? Well redundancy pays sometimes lol. The boots are a perfect fit. I tried every style of boot they sell, and got measured up for it. I have the sock combination, liners and other (outter ?) socks to try different combinations first. Should be getting some mileage on them over the...

    Rucksack and Boots

    Brilliant, because the smaller one will be cheaper. Boots?

    Rucksack and Boots

    Hello good people!! Firstly, thanks to the good people at Rohan, I got the following boots, free of charge. I was wondering guys if you think these are overkill for the Camino, or exactly what I need? http://rohan.co.uk/Product/Detail/FootwearForMen_02977?ocode=02977A61 Further to this, I am...

    How do I get to St Jean?

    Well, it seem's March is just not going to be realistic. I simply can not afford it. I am budgeted for everything, and was stupid enough to forget budgetting for getting there, which I thought would be the easy part. If I go on the 4th of April, as suggested, it will cost me £60 to get there...

    How do I get to St Jean?

    Hi Everyone. I hope I am not about to ask a question that has been asked to death. I will admit I only did a quick search of this forum for it. This is really for the Irish I guess. How does one get to St Jean? If I book a flight Belfast to Paris now, it is only £50. Which is incredible. I...

    Should I do it?

    Lydia!! The enrollment for classes in Spanish, at my local college is just around the corner. I will be enrolling. My partner has Chronic Fatigue. It is nothing serious (in a life threating sense) and she lives at home with her family. I know I will miss her, she is my rock. So where as she will...

    Socks

    Rohan fans? I like to hear it. I am making my whole kit Rohan, as I currently work for them, (not to mention I have fallen in like with the gear), with my unfortunate redundancy starting in January. As I said in my introduction post, I feel my redundancy is a call from God to walk with him. I...

    Socks

    Would it be too much to ask people to look at the following link? There are six pairs of socks, and I really don't know what I need. I have the liners already, but for March, which of the following would suit the likely climate? http://rohan.co.uk/Category/Detail/MensSocks (Ignore prices, as I...

    Should I do it?

    Well folks, I am literally new to this forum, by less than 5 minutes, at time of writing. So here is my introduction, and my first question. I use to walk life's road with Christ. Somewhere, somehow, I wandered away from him. Too afraid to admit this to the people in my life, I continued with...
