    Well, two days on and it´s still really cold! I wish I had a proper sleeping bag as last night the albergue was really chilly, but at least it had blankets. Thanks for the replies! Sagalouts, the politest way to leave early is to be all ready and packed the night before so it is just a case of...

    weather in july

    tox, Thanks for the weather information. I was actually quite scared when I saw the temperature at 8 degrees at night in Burgos. I mean, that's freezing and would require a warm sleeping bag with more clothes than I had planned on taking. Yes, I'm in Hong Kong. Spending the weekends walking...

    Unexpected hiking boot pain

    Thank you so much for the informative replies and excellent advice. This is such a great community. I have looked up the 'New Balance Trail' shoes and have found they have lots of outlets and availability in Hong Kong, so I will try these out tomorrow. They are also very economically priced too...

    Unexpected hiking boot pain

    I recently bought a lovely pair of Berghaus Gore-tex Explorer hiking boots and thought they would be perfect for when I start the Camino in July. I thought I would try to start to wear them in by hiking for two days with a heavyish backpack including tent in the humid environment of Lantau...
