    Coldest section of Camino Frances?

    The coldest I experienced mid-May-ish was the Cruz de Ferro day – surprise spring snowstorm! As a Canadian, it was of no real hardship to me as I’d just come from winter back home but for those not used to snow, it was tough. I think it is important to remember that crossing mountains can...

    What is the most unususal sign you saw on CF?

    One thing I learned on the Camino Frances was that apparently, sharks could walk and they could be pilgrims, too! http://rustytraveltrunk.com/?attachment_id=2557

    Charity Collectors Scamming in Santiago?

    I don’t know if they are for real or also a scam but along the camino, there are those asking for money as well. Apparently to set up an organization for the deaf. Again, not sure if it is a scam or not but I didn’t give them money. Especially since the two women approached me in the middle of a...

    Music to keep you going

    Did the Camino this spring and I brought my ipod nano but only used it a few times – first time to get me through the slog into Burgos. The second time around, though, was because I sometimes take great fun in being cheesy…so while walking along the Roman road stretch, in went the headphones and...

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    Don’t worry, dogtorbill. I live in a valley so was wondering the same thing! Still wondering if I should make a last minute purchase of gaiters if I start walking on the 21st…

    the joys of shins

    Thanks, Mary! I'm doing the Frances - SJPDP to Fisterra in 40 days is my goal. I start in just under 4 weeks! :shock:

    the joys of shins

    Hi Mary! I did end up getting new shoes. They are boots but they are incredibly light - the ecco hikers made from yak leather. The soles are vibram and the leather is “hydromax”. I’ve been wearing them every day, even at the office, to get them broken in and so far so good! I looked up your...

    ryanair in relation to national express

    Thanks, guys! LOL, yes, I’m trying to relax as you suggest. My problem is that I’m pretty much done planning the important things 6 weeks in advance and so now my brain has started focusing on any little thing that can be planned! But I am trying not to straightjacket myself by planning every...

    ryanair in relation to national express

    Hello! Has anyone taken the Ryanair flight from Santiago to London Stanstead? I’ll need to take a National Express bus to Victoria on my projected finish date of Friday, May 31. I was just wondering how reliable Ryanair is in terms of landing when they say they will land – the bus tickets are...

    another allergy question

    *bangsheadondesk* I suspected as much. Didn’t think about the soups and vegetables, though. Thanks, Falcon. Hopefully the pastries and fried foods aren’t done in pork lard!

    another allergy question

    Hey! I noticed people asking allergy questions and thought I’d ask mine as well. Does anyone know how prominent fresh pork is in Spanish food? I can eat cured pork (ie cured ham and bacon) but anything fresh makes me horribly ill. Weird, I know. How likely would pork just randomly appear in a...

    cemeteries

    Great! Thanks, guys! Canada doesn’t have the really old and cool cemeteries that Europe has. Any time I’m on that side of the pond, I return home with lots (probably too many) graveyard photos. The saddest one I’ve ever seen was in Highgate Cemetery (London) – there were three in a row and so...

    cemeteries

    Hi guys, I have a slightly odd question. Are there any old and photogenic cemeteries along the route? I know it is a bit morbid but I like old cemeteries, especially photographing them… :oops: Thanks, T

    the joys of shins

    Hi all! My camino is coming up mid-April (yay!) and I’m starting my training. I noticed that my light hikers (low cut) don’t fit as well as they used to ever since I got fitted with orthotics this past summer – I guess my feet changed. So I’m giving my heavier hikers (high cut) a try. They fit...

    health care paperwork

    :( that’s what I was thinking but I was holding on to fragile hopes! Ah well. Thanks, Ivar and Anne! I guess I should start looking into insurance. Knock on wood it is never needed!
