The Pilgrims Way
Hi....walked The Pilgrims Way April 2018 with 3 other senior ladies. Very worthwhile! You likely have found the foundation’s guide book. You may find it informative to have a look at my friend’s blog on this walk....Kim Letson’s & The Pilgrims Way should do it. -

Best backpacking pack for CF October 2018
Love my Exos but lighter version seems like a good idea to me. Really don't think you would need 30lbs of gear on the camino so a 48 should more than do it. I have done several long distance walks & I stick to the 10% of bodyweight rule........its hard but can be done. And you will enjoy it...- PGOULD

Last 100km of the Camino Portugues, beginning on the coast - starting point? crowds?
I saw signs of wild boar on the trails in France while walking the Via Francigena but was told by locals that they are very shy and rarely seen. They are active at night or very early morning so unlikely to be encountered. It was hunting season at the time & I was far more alarmed by numerous...- PGOULD

Shin Splints, Tendonitis or Stress Fracture
Oh, and your boots for the long distances.....about a half size larger than you'd normally wear. Otherwise you'll be mincing along with tight boots on swollen feet.- PGOULD

Shin Splints, Tendonitis or Stress Fracture
I've had experience with stress fractures and can sympathize.......it's so, so painful. I've done a fair bit lot of long distance walking away from home (the Camino Frances, Camino Norte, Portugese, the Via Francigena, the Via Egnatia) and after my 1st experience with stress fractures I made...- PGOULD

Has anyone walked the Via Egnatia?
My friend and I walked the Via Egnatia last fall.....starting Sept 1st 2016. We used the guide book from the VE Foundation and also had a GPS which is needed to follow the route from the book. Albania and Macedonia were fabulous. We saw some refugees but it wasn't a problem for us. We didn't... -

Has anyone walked the Via Egnatia?
Yes, I was happy to see that. I have been in contact with Toon & have the waypoints & route description for Thessaloniki to Kavala. Glad to get that 'on the map'. We also keep to a very light pack....just shy of 14lbs on my last trip so I expect to do the same this time. No tents for us... -

Has anyone walked the Via Egnatia?
I've been using Pocket Earth maps on my iPad with a route from the data sent by VEF when I bought the book.......had something similar on the VF & it was fine. My friend has a Garmin & hopes to know how to use by the time we leave. I will look at the Locus maps, thanks for that tip. The main... -

Has anyone walked the Via Egnatia?
Oh......so glad you told me that you have had the same error message from the VEF website. I haven't looked at it for months so was taken aback when it seemed to be gone. Toon had told us the same thing about additional GPS info past Thessaloniki & I look forward to adding it to our route... -

Has anyone walked the Via Egnatia?
HI Bob....are you still planning to walk the Via Egnatia? When do you plan to go? There's a blog by Anita (search Anita blog via Egnatia & it should work) that's very thorough on route & accomodation from Durres to Thessaloniki. I bought the guide Via Egnatia on Foot from the VE Foundation...
