    Walking a Camino is a Very Selfish Act - Isn't it?

    Any experiences with the Timp 1.5 ( Altra)

    I have worn several versions of Altras hiking in rocky mtns. I have tried on the LP 4.0 but have not spent enough time in them to evaluate.

    Any experiences with the Timp 1.5 ( Altra)

    The Altra Timp 1.5 are immediately comfortable with no break in period required at least for my feet. As you mentioned, they have more cushioning than the Lone Peak but the Timps also have no rock plate. I believe the LP 4.0 now have the rock plate.

    Comment by 'taozenqi' in media '"Beyond The Way" Trailer'

    @amorfati1 Agree completely with your questions. Yes, I did get up before dawn when others were already stirring and I did frequently start walking an hour or so before sunrise , but it was what brought me joy. It wasn't a "must" or something I felt obligated to do. The trailer does look...

    Why do we walk the camino? A phsylogist¨s intelligent take on i

    Alex & all contributing to this thread, Thanks for the translation and esp. the heartfelt words. I just stepped off the Camino but it clearly isn't finished yet. Who knows, maybe it stirs a lifetime. For me the decision to walk the Camino was to address the rut. Mine is a beautiful rut, and...

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    scottdecker, Since you just recently found this forum have you considered seeing if Corazon Puro has a bed available? They will pick you up in Pamplona if you spend a night with them and drive you to SJPDP the next morning to start your journey.
