    insoles

    I tried several off the shelf insoles but, in the end I had custom orthotics made...a little spendy but a good decision.

    Damien.....good advice I think

    Which Route for my Second Camino

    Sempervivum...It changed my life in the best way. I went with no expectations and was able to live each day in the moment. In a way the route is not as important as just living in that transcendental state and putting one foot in front of the other, at least for me. I arrived in StJ solo and...

    disappointment John Brierley Maps camino Portuges

    I've just ordered the Brierley Portuges guide and am wondering if the newest edition now includes information on the Coastal route. If not, I will be returning it as well. Thanks in advance.

    THANK YOU to All on This Forum Who Help We "Rookie Pilgrims"

    Dan, I walked with several new Canadian friends on my first Camino mid-April. It changed my life. I look at everything differently now. I've slowed things down and and appreciate the simplicity I brought back home. It was the best thing I've ever done just for me. Taking 6 weeks away seemed...

    Orrison is not responding! Help!

    My plan was to get to SJpDP the same day I arrived from the US. Didn't work because of immigration lines then missing planes, trains, automobiles, etc. Ended in Pamplona for the night with a reservation at Orrison the next night. Took a taxi from Pamplona to SJpDP the following morning and...

    First two days

    Like most of the responses to questions like yours, it has to do with fitness. For me at 67? I made a reservation at Orisson and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I made for Camino planning. It's a tough walk on the first day and breaking it into 2 days made it doable and kept me...

    Health insurance

    I've over 65 (US Citizen) and purchased a very reasonable priced medical policy from AAA for my time on the Camino. You can choose how much you want to spend with a deductible and coverage matrix. My cost was about $135. Didn't need to use it but, you never know....

    Right size shoes

    Well, I'm back having started St Jean on April 15 and arriving Santiago on May 20. At age 67 it is going down as the most memorable experience of my adult life. Guessing I might be in re-entry mode for a while or, maybe forever... But back to shoes. I did no training on hills before departing...

    Heel Cracks

    Try cream made from Comfry. Don't think it is sold in the US but, I've purchased it before in the UK at an herbal shop

    Unplugging too.....Landing Madrid tomorrow morning
