    Camino Frances - lite and fast ?!

    [CLARIFICATION for later readers, entirely unnecessary in itself but regrettably made necessary by initial hostile off-topic responses : this is a genuine enquiry related to genuine "pilgrimage" journey.] What are the quicker walking (not cycling) Camino Frances that's been done / do people...

    Camino Frances Albergues in winter

    There are many resources for albergues and many do include information on when they are open I was introduced to this other one by a French pilgrim who used it extensively It has a differential in claiming to be updated (and I'm sure it is) daily http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/...

    LIVE from the Camino Aemet.es weather app

    Just want to give quick shout out for the iPhone app (presumably there is also an android version but haven't checked) provided free by AEMET, Spain's national weather service. I don't like the AEMET website but the app is simple and to the point with hourly forecasts. And of course location...

    Sleeping bag alternative ?

    This may be a mad question. Try not to laugh, at least not when I can see Is there an alternative to sleeping bag which works in terms of comfort and warmth? For outdoor sleeping in tent. Can't explain it but I don't like 'em. Maybe I'm claustrophobic, maybe it's the volume and the packing...

    Waterless washing ?

    Does anyone have experience of any waterless washing products ? One option for my next camino is to do it under the stars ( long story why ). One of my two main concerns is staying clean with limited / infrequent access to showers. I've seen on the web Nilacqua, Pits & Bits (what a great name!)...

    LIVE from the Camino Made It ! Arrived Santiago de Compostela 4thDec
