    What you done, for the Way, after finished the Way (Photo exhibit)

    Wow! What a cool expression of your experience. I really love that shot of the pilgrims hanging clothes up on the washing lines at about 3:45 of your video. Beautiful work. I too have shared my photographs, but it has also influenced my artistic expression in other ways. I've made stickers, and...

    Could one hammock camp nearly the whole way?

    I have not.. yet. A job change necessitated that I change my plans for a while. However, I am trying to figure out how to do a couple hundred miles of it next August. I've been researching both hammocking and tenting options!

    LIVE from the Camino Gudbrandsdalsleden - Eidsvoll to Trondheim

    what a wonderful journey! Thanks so much for sharing. I've long wanted to walk this way, and now I must actually plan. Thank you for the wanderlust stoking narrative. Time for this non-German/Norwegian speaker to hit the trail again.

    boots vs shoes

    You do you! If you’re a boots-man, be a boots-man ;) everyone is different! No need to wedge into a pair of sandals if you don’t want to. Walk it how you wanna walk it! You’ll know a couple days in if you want to change your approach!

    boots vs shoes

    For me, shoes were the perfect solution. Boots are nice, but the vast majority of the trail that I hiked was very shoe friendly. For the parts that weren't, I just paid a little more attention to my steps. I went with some Hoka trail shoes that were awesome.

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    Right on! yeah, they have really nice and well thought out inserts too. I've taken the inserts out of my Borealis and put them in my Rush 24 on an around the world trip. Stood up great. Hope you find the perfect bag for your needs!

    Camera Backpack Recommendations

    I've used 5:11 packs with camera inserts, but one of my favorite camera bag solutions have been offered by Mountainsmith. I don't see the version of the Borealis that I've carried in the past, but they make some great bags. Super bombproof, and well thought out...

    Question for DSLR users

    I know you've already looked at the capture clip, but I would encourage you to give it one more try! I've used mine on a Canon 6D, 5D, and eosM around the world and it has been transformational to my travel photography. Having the camera at hands at all times encourages more photos. I even used...

    Waterproof pouch for your passport

    great piece of kit to share! I used a small sandwich ziploc bag... this would have been a MUCH better solution. Marked for next time. Thanks!

    Saw this art project about the VF

    Hello all, I saw this post today on Behance and thought others here would appreciate it! https://www.behance.net/gallery/77750103/The-Via-Francigena -----------

    Is it "Cruz De Ferro" or "Cruce De Ferro", or something else entirely?

    Wow, thanks for the kind words! Will do:

    Is it "Cruz De Ferro" or "Cruce De Ferro", or something else entirely?

    Thanks for the input and the history. I really appreciate it! If it’s good enough for the cathedral, the spelling is good enough for me :) I ended up doing a little vintage travel poster piece based on a photo I took of my buddy walking up to the cross to set his stone down and just wanted to...

    Is it "Cruz De Ferro" or "Cruce De Ferro", or something else entirely?

    Hello all, I'm working on a project, and am trying to figure out the correct spelling of "cruz de ferro". I've seen a few different spellings. Anyone have an answer on which is correct?

    Has anyone hiked during late Sept. / early October?

    Thank Doug. I had assumed camping would be the method to rely on, with the hope of finding some open pilgrims accommodations sporadically. Shorter daylight hours and cooler weather are things I would need to contend with as well.

    Has anyone hiked during late Sept. / early October?

    I bet the Portugal and Coastal routes on the camino would be stunning then. I'm wondering how it would affect the St Olav's being so much more northern...

    Has anyone hiked during late Sept. / early October?

    Hello all, My feet are itching to get out on a trail again and this path has been stuck in the back of my mind for some time now. Im wondering if anyone has walked during late September or early October? I'd probably have about 10 days total to walk, so I'd need to adjust my starting point...

    Walking the St Olavsleden

    Wonderful! Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return, if you're inclined to share!

    Could one hammock camp nearly the whole way?

    Thanks tincatinker. I think we might have got some crossed wires between us! I certainly don’t think one could hammock camp the Camino... or at least when I walked it I didn’t see how it would be feasible. Nor would I want to. My question relates to the st olav’s way where the infrastructure is...

    Could one hammock camp nearly the whole way?

    Hello all, I've been really seriously contemplating hiking this trail and have been thinking though the logistics. I know there are accommodations along the way, but in order to save a little scratch, I'm wondering if one could hammock camp the whole way. Sure, it seems that there could be a...
