    Ok, I have to ask....

    O.P.......Omnipotent Pilgrim.

    Bed Bugs Make Use of Mass Transit to Go Places and See Things

    Wish I was supple enough to be able to lick my lower leg.

    A question about a sello we got...

    Scam or not, I think €1.00 for a wax seal on your credencial is pretty good value and an interesting story to add to your Camino.

    What Is The Most Useful & Usless Item You Packed

    Most useful: A4 grip lock high density freezer bags. Keeps everything neat in your rucksack. Change of clothes in each one; squeeze all the air out and seal. All your bits stay nice and dry. Most useless: Headphones, never used once as I like all the sounds around me.

    Camino Portuguese Distance Planner

    The Trailsmart app is very good for planning.

    Best Free Camino Frances App with Offline Maps (GPS)

    TrailSmart is an excellent app. There is a small charge for the offline map but the gps route is very accurate. It also has a lot of information on distances, terrain, accommodation and restaurants which help you plan your walk. We have found it invaluable on the Lycian Way and Cappadocia.

    Where are the arrows?

    Just ask a policeman, it's what I did!
  8. Henry Appelt

    Most expensive tour yet?

    I quite like the idea of a team following me around with my own portable toilet. For that money, that is the least I'd expect. Oh, and rose petals sprinkled in front of me as I walk, to protect my delicate nose from malodorous fellow walkers.

    Why no avatar?

    My avatar is of a door knocker I saw in Santiago. It just appealed to me...!

    What is the one luxury or non-essential item you would bring with you?

    I would prefer to rub it on my feet rather than having to eat the stuff. It is horrible!
  11. Henry Appelt

    What is the one luxury or non-essential item you would bring with you?

    Travel kettle and teabags! Couldn't imagine travelling anywhere without them.
  12. Henry Appelt

    We have all been there ...

    O.K. I hold my hands up, I'm English. I take an electric kettle and teabags. It is always a balance between what I can physically carry and what do I need (unless you are someone who takes a dainty day-pack and has your luggage transported to your next stop). Even then my backpack is 7.5 kilos...

    What do you do when your toe nails come off?

    Have you tried limping. It usually works for me.
  14. Henry Appelt

    Portable food choices

    Bananas. I never walk anywhere without a couple of them in my pack. Slow release and helps prevents cramp.
