    Taping for Prevention

    My training compadre is using "Mefix" for taping. She really likes it. It wasn't padded enough for my callus but when I used it, it stayed and was easy to remove.

    Training, heavy rain for 2 weeks

    You can use this opportunity to check out your rain gear, make sure everything works how you like it. Do the best you can with what you are working with weather-wise. No matter how much training you do or not, the Camino always teaches you something new.

    Patches on my backpack?

    I used Velco dots and then just tacked down in about 4 areas with about 4 stiches.

    Camino del Norte

    On April 16th, we will be busing from Bilbao to Irun, arriving around 9:40a. Thinking about walking to Pasaia and staying there for the night. How far, how easy is it to find the route from the bus station? Thanks.

    Training for Camino?

    I spend about six weeks with concentrated training with emphasis on time walking as opposed to miles. I start out walking for two hours, stop/rest, then walk back to the beginning. I increase the time and eventually will hit walking 8 hours with the appropriate resting, eating. I start out...

    Santiago tourism

    My first Camino I got to Santiago quicker than I had expected and decided to stay a week until my flight to Barcelona. Way too long. I would say 2-4 days.

    Rooftop tours

    The roof top tours are wonderful and am glad that they are available. I'm scared of heights but it was so well worth it. As usual, a totally different perspective offered within the Camino.

    Suddenly feeling terrified

    Absolutely felt the same way on my first Camino. Basically, "what the heck am I getting into". It's all good. Buen Camino!!!

    So why am I addicted to the Camino?

    I was asked once "what was the best thing you experienced on the Camino". My best (3 Caminos so far) is the first step I take in the morning to greet the day and be open to the path.

    Rude bicyclists?

    Very Zen. It is the reaction that keeps you sufferinng.

    People walking 35 - 40 KM per day

    Everyone has their own pace. However, hopefully the ego of bragging will diminish if the Camino becomes part of their heart.

    Coping with change after Sarria - wisdom needed please

    On my first Camino, my walking companion and I were joined by a woman who had lost her "group" that started in Sarria. Even tho' it was annoying, I came to realize that her anxiety was well-placed as it was all so new. She stayed with us for a day and found her tour that evening. That said...
