    Converting miles to kilometers using fibonacci numbers

    Maybe.

    Converting miles to kilometers using fibonacci numbers

    All my padlock numbers are fibonacci numbers. Don't tell anyone.

    a few questions before starting in late June

    Recommend trekking poles.

    Hiking boots / walking shoes

    Yikes! Soles coming off Vasques! I just bought a pair for next year's Camino. Really?

    Buff brand vs knock off?

    One of the main considerations about the Buff is that it is seamless. This is difficult to do without special equipment. Many weavers can make a length of fabric on an average loom that can be sewn together to make a circle. Or buy a couple of yards of fabric from the store and serge them...

    Panicking...

    I wish you a wonderful experience, tillyjones. Your spirit and sense of adventure makes me yearn for some old times of my own when traveling on a wing and a prayer! Take care and try to post now and then on the Camino.

    Panicking...

    I've been following this forum for several months now in preparation for walking the Camino next year. Mind you, I'm a senior, not the age of the OP, so I need to prepare more mindfully. However, some things are the same. To encourage someone to just take off willy-nilly and hope for the best...

    Heel Cracks

    Mink oil.

    Money Belt, Bum Bag or Neck Pouch

    First of all, when I think of 'cut offs', I think of jeans that I have cut off to rather short shorts. Doubt that is the case here but I'm a child of the 60's . Secondly, everything after that is confusing. I need GPS to figure out what you are saying. And I did not inhale.

    Volunteers needed

    What's the big hurry? It's only the end of May. After 15 years of depending on wood heat only, there is plenty of time. We cut all Summer and were just fine then for 5 months or so. If I was walking, I would definitely help though. For old time's sake.

    Long or Short Sleeves?

    What about solar sleeves like bicyclists use sometimes?

    Advice on Walking Poles

    Thanks. I'll give the gaffer tape remedy a try.

    Botafumeiro

    Botafumeiro

    I'm sorry, but after traveling 8454 km from USA to SJPP, and then walking 800 Km to Santiago, I want to see the Botafumeiro swing. And I'm an Atheist.

    Advice on Walking Poles

    I have Black Diamond Z poles, carbon fiber, purchased for training. I've never actually used the rubber tips as I primarily train on dirt or gravel. I'm not opposed to using the rubber but it does seem cumbersome to have to switch back and forth all the time, all that unscrewing and...

    Medical Insurance

    Oh, geez. This is my worst nightmare. I am willing to muster through the Camino with my bad knees but then to have permanent damage by the time I finally get to Santiago? I don't think so. I'm thinking I'll consult PT before starting the Big Walk.
  18. Annie G

    Medical Insurance

    None taken. I suspect you received that advice because many Americans have inadequate or no medical insurance. Also many have no benefits to cover time off work due to illness or injury. All our money goes to defense and the famous 1%.:mad:

    Food question - this'll make you laugh

    A post on a related thread mentioned that bread made with flour from Spain had significantly less gluten in it and was better tolerated by GF sensitive (but not celiacs). I'm hoping this is true because the breads there look fantastic. I'd like to get my hands on some flour to try it out...

    Second Camino: the lessons I learnt every day

    I think you wonderful husband 'doesn't mind' that you leave for weeks to walk because he loves reading what you have to say about it when you get home.
