    What issues arise when walking with a companion?

    Love this article and totally agree with every word. The couple that plan together stay together. I walked the Frances last year with a Lady that was not my partner but a friend that shares my passion for walking. We trained together before and had an agreed plan that managed our different...

    Osprey Pack and their Almighty Guarantee (its real)

    Osprey replaced my Exos after I finished my Bibbulmun track 1000km after only 47 days use because some mesh had worn. I will only use Osprey packs now. I have a 36 ltr Osprey that I use for my Camino journeys and this year will be No three :-) very happy.

    Did your Camino fail or exceed your expectations?

    Love your comments Keith. I could have said it better, that's why I will be back there in 30 days. Just in case I got it wrong last time.

    Drying clothes in cold weather

    The simple solution I used last year was to get together with other Pilgrims when my gear needed washing/drying to make up a full load and share the cost between us.

    Walking alone...

    On the Camino you are never alone. I started alone in April last year and met people that will be life long friends from day one.

    Just how difficult is it getting over The Pyrenees..

    It is not that difficult at all but the best option is to break it up by stoping over night at Refuge Orisson, which is a wonderful stop over. By doing this you have a short but fairly steep first day but only 7.5km. The following day is an equally easy 18.5km just take your time. I walked it...

    Best Way to Handle Bedbugs On the Camino...

    If you think you have Bed bugs in your gear simply put your back pack with everything in it into a black polythene bin bag. Tie the opening up and leave in in the sun on a bright sunny day. This is mother natures Microwave and should kill the little suckers.

    Best roaming sim to buy for the camino

    Hi Trevor Whatever you do don't use a Sim card bought outside of Spain you will be ripped off with roaming charges etc. I bought a Vodafone sim in Pamplona, Spain and had no issues. I believe the package cost about €25.00 but that gave me a lot of usage. WiFi is available practically...

    My Camino experience, am I a baby?...I cried!

    My Camino experience exceeded all expectations. The people I met, both Pilgrims and Locals, made every moment of my journey an event to rejoice in the human spirit. I have lived and worked in many countries and met some exceptional people but The Camino brings out something indescribable in...

    My Camino experience, am I a baby?...I cried!

    My Camino was an experience beyond expectations and the people I met, both Pilgrims and Locals, along the way made that experience. I have never encountered such generosity of spirit from such a diverse collections of humanity as you meet on the Camino. I have worked and lived in many countries...

    Publicly humiliated for snoring

    That is ridiculous, Sorry to hear of your unfortunate encounter. Snoring is so common I doubt there is anyone that does not or has not snored. It is a simple fact of human physiology. That Lady certainly is going to have a hard time because there will be snoring in EVERY Alburgue regardless...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    For me it has to be En el Camino (Maison de Campagne) in Boadilla del Camino. Not only is the Albergue fabulous but the service was fantastic.

    Anyone planning to walk Camino Frances April 2013.

    Sounds good to me Rob, hopefully we will meet up. At the moment it looks like I will overnight Pamplona 15th, Taxi SJPdP 16th register and set off up the hill. So a strong possibility I could end up in Orisson 16th as well. Hedley
