    Switching fr boots to trail runners: Wool or Coolmax-type socks?

    I’ve worn Brooks Cascadia and Darn Tough socks for a long time, never had an issue.

    Camino Markers in Galicia

    I will never understand how anyone could ever think this was OK or acceptable.
  3. Wolfdog

    About to purchase my hiking boots.

    I alternated every few days between those sandals and Brooks Cascadia trekking shoes and didn't have any blisters or foot issues. The Keen sandals are so comfortable!

    Spontaneously booked! Now what?

    Hi Curtis, 43 days is a great gift of time for you to spend a few days in Paris, enjoy your Camino, spend some time in Santiago and travel to Madrid and enjoy some days there too! Buen Camino, Pete

    SJPDP to Roncesvalles

    We left SJPdP at 7 AM and arrived in Roncevalles at 6 PM. We are mid 50's in good shape and took our time, stopped frequently and snacked/hydrated often. We were very cautious on the trails with loose slippery shale, which just means it takes a little longer. We didn't want to be the pilgrims...

    Weather in September & October?

    She said it was 12 pounds without water and we used ultra light Gossamer Gear packs.

    Weather in September & October?

    I pretty much just walked our dogs...around 6-8 miles or two hours. My wife trained more on hills and wore her pack sometimes. She also used trekking poles and swears by them, I chose not to. Carrying the pack just took a little getting used to. We thought if we walk 8 miles in two hours at...

    Weather in September & October?

    We averaged about 15 miles per day, we never felt the need for a rest day ( we're mid fifties ) and actually slowed down as we were meeting friends in Sarria and were ahead of schedule.

    Sad death of Irish pilgrim after completing the Oviedo route.

    Condolences to his family, friends and fellow pilgrims.

    Best Non-Santiago Hikes/Pilgrimages?

    Thanks @Bradypus , I'll make sure we have both. Heading to Speyside for a 4 day Whiskey Walk after the WHW, any suggestions?
  13. Wolfdog

    Transitioning from trail shoes to trail boots?

    I wore Brooks Cascadia trail shoes and every few days switched to my Keen sandals, never had a problem or a blister. Wear what you're comfortable with and you'll be fine. Buen Camino!

    Best Non-Santiago Hikes/Pilgrimages?

    We're walking the WHW early Sept., definitely hoping the midges are gone by then! Have a great trip.

    Weather in September & October?

    We walked Sept. 7 to Oct. 10 2014, I wore shorts and light tee shirts the entire time with a light long sleeve top in the mornings. My wife wore leggings and light tops, it rained off and on the last week to ten days and we slipped on the rain gear as needed. Buen Camino! Pete

    Feeling a little judged from other commenters so...

    We were in Larrasoana our second night in 2014 staying in a nice Spanish woman's house along with a German couple. They told us during dinner that they had locked their doors in Munich and had been walking for three months already and loved the fact that all they had to think about was " how...

    Rain Gear Product opinions please

    My wife used Frogg Toggs and loved them! Super light weight,reasonably waterproof and the jacket actually fit over her pack.

    Cash management

    Count me as another Schwab user, four trips abroad without any problems or issues. ATM fees get refunded and I believe there are no foreign transaction fees. Buen Camino!

    First timer? Shoes? August

    Hi Steph, I wore Brooks Cascadia 9s and Keen sandals last Sept/Oct. No foot problems and no issues on the trails. Buen Camino, Pete

    Walking through town and cities...

    Hi Darren, the only trouble we had leaving the big cities was in Ponferrada. They were doing lots of work on the streets and sidewalks on the way out of town which may have kept us from seeing the markers and we were always questioning whether we were heading in the correct direction, which we...
