    no good deed goes unpunished

    HUZZAH! A good thing you did regardless and with hindsight you can always question everything, but at the time it was righteous. Again I say HUZZAH! Torrent1964 :D

    Cycling the Camino in Crocs?

    I had 'clipless' pedals for a while, but as a dedicated mountain biker and cyclist, having had a couple of nasty crashes when bike stayed stuck to me, I changed back to pedals and purchased a pair of stealth rubber cycle shoes (stick to the pedal better. Also I purchased 'flat' pedals with studs...

    Your advice - Cycling the actual Camino Frances ????

    Kit list? I will do the Madrid and have my kit list, it would be good to compare and think. We will wild camp too. I would really appreciate a sense of where you camped especially after Sahagun as this is when we will join the Frances. :D Torrent :)

    Guadarrama

    [ t is very pretty and soft surface and no cars). Hi, I was wondering in my planning the stages of the Madrid, just how long it took to walk from Cercedilla over to Segovia? We are trying to sort our stages out at the moment e.g. do we ride Madrid to Cercedilla (1st day) or Madrid -...

    Camino de Madrid by bici

    Talk to some of the more experienced forum Mardrid members, you will learn a lot very fast. Hunt through the various files and strings. I've been following the weather for the past two months daily and my understanding is that its going to be hotter than hot in June. Watch your hydration on...

    Class of 2013

    Just touching base with everyone... Its terribly exciting to see so many people committing and so many on their way already. My group of pilgrims are training in earnest, putting the hours in on the bikes, tweeking bikes and busy auditing, reviewing, trying and buying kit. Our latest purchase...

    Camino de Madrid

    Having watched the weather across the Madrid and Frances routes for most of April and have made a decision to postpone the pilgrimage until May. This should allow us to travel somewhat lighter and experience less snow, cold or wet nights. So far, May is shaping up weather wise in Spain. :D

    What issues arise when walking with a companion?

    I am in the midst of preparing for April 2013. We are currently 4 possibly 5 and we are cycling. 3 of us are family (Father, Son & Grandson), two are almost family (friends). We will be cycling MAdrid through to Muxia and Finisterre. From the outset, although we are all close, we recognised the...

    Geocaching on the Caminos.

    I use my smart phone app. I usually walk or jump off my bike and dive into the brush! I will be cycling and I can see that there are sufficient close to tmy path or within the towns and cities once resting. Have a a wonderous camino and a thoutoughly enjoyable geojourney too. Torrent :D

    Geocaching on the Caminos.

    Hi, I am not sure how many are aware or take part in geocaching, but I thought it mightbe nice to have a topic on the subject that explores expewrience, finds and related pilgrimage experience. Geocache fits well with pilgrimage (at least in my eyes) as it is very eco friendly and seeks to...

    The Art of Kit!

    I am interested in which Arkel bags you have gone for? Torrent.

    The Art of Kit!

    Okay, I am searching for a really lite cooker... any suggestions? Again, budget is a constraint.

    The Art of Kit!

    Sorry, a little side tracked! Okay here we go. :oops: Blisters: I have found that with a proper sock and shoe for the bike, I have never had a blister. Are you using a clipless pedal? I tend to avoid cycle socks and use an ankle sport/tennis sock as it works for walking in too. Boxing the...

    The Art of Kit!

    You said you had not done the Camino, and have never used panniers. Perhaps your opinion will evolve as you move from research to actual use. We have done the Camino Frances twice, 95% on the trails, and our recommendation for anyone who plans on riding the actual trails is to get Arkel...
