    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    When I travel abroad I try not to compare everything with home, it's a recipe for disaster. If you are going to do that.. better to stay at home.

    This is how pilgrims go. 😁

    How light was your backpack for Camino Frances (800 km)

    My pack weighed 10 kilos and I didn't use a baggage service. I know some people have to. This business of how light can I go seems to me to be a race to the bottom, why not just go Reacher on it and just bring a toothbrush in your pocket, forget about getting into trouble with weather conditions...

    Bed bugs in books!

    This is the worst case of bedbugs I have encountered. Worse than that are bed buffaloes which I encountered in an albergue which I shall not name.

    Memorial Garden for Denise Thiem near Astorga

    It was thanks to @Rebekah Scott and donations from members here that this memorial garden is a reality. It might not be a bad idea for those who wish to donate to it's upkeep to donate through Reb's website.

    no toilet paper in washroom

    I walked the whole of the Frances and on to Finisterre and Muxia and I always carried toilet paper from day one. Even when I'm at home, like Tinka, I carry tissues.

    Calling a taxi from the Camino?

    If they are familiar with Google maps they can pin their location, copy the pin under "share" and send it by WhatsApp. The taxi will have their exact location.

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    No plan survives first contact with the enemy. 😄

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    I like planning too but not to the point of spreadsheets with contingency formula. I like to make a basic plan and take it from there.

    How do you fix a stage miscalculation?

    Where is the fun in over planning, be spontaneous, just wing it.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    That is correct but if you give a mod a heads up they will delete it.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    I don't agree, this is one of the safest forums you will get and for the most part nasty and judgmental comments are shut down asap but some people have a tendency to feel judged or offended where none has been given.

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    You can delete your post for up to one week, after that you can request a deletion of post or thread.

    I use the Weather & Radar app, after trying several over the years I found this to be the best for me.
