    I have probably 5000 miles on Hokas. Speedgoats for the AT and Israel National Trail to the Holy Sepulchre. Challengers for the Via Francigena and the Frances. Cliftons for Chimayo and Baby Steps on the beaches of Florida. Others. Plus training miles. I’ve used most of them under extended trail...

    Is Logrono worth spending a day off?

    It’s the best eating on the Camino in my opinion. By far.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Meseta now. Advice welcome

    It amazes me the number of people who sing with the nuns in the lobby, but skip or miss the Mass held later in the evening. There are many churches offering a pilgrim blessing, but the blessing there, with the nuns singing and special homily dedicated to pilgrims, makes it a very powerful...

    Alert Camino closed in Navarra for 2 days

    Trail is open. Fire burned in some places right up to the trail. Which acted as a fire break. This is outside PDR this morning.

    Alert Camino closed in Navarra for 2 days

    Plenty of people left Pamplona for PDR yesterday without incident and without violating any police or civil order not to walk. If you want to proceed, you can, is my understanding. But Logrono is a wonderful city. A true hidden gem of Europe. I hope you enjoy it.

    Alert Camino closed in Navarra for 2 days

    I am hearing directly from folks on the Camino while I assist them virtually. Some left from Pamplona this morning and arrived in PDR without incident. Evidence of the fire is visible from the trail in a few places but there is no cause for alarm at this time is the consistent information I’m...

    Craziest thing you've seen someone bring on Camino

    Water bottle or Hydration Pack?

    Purchased two 500ml bottles of water every other day and discarded them after 2 days. Strange that I was the only person in my group without a hydration pack and I was the only one who didn’t get trail belly. Hmmm ... As for ease of access, I saw two girls from Italy arguing because one...

    I am reluctant to share this link, because the tune is so darn catchy I would have annoyed the crap out of my fellow pilgrims when I made the walk. So listen and beware ...

    Hoka Challenger

    Hi. I bought a pair of ATR to train in, then bought another pair about three days before we left. I'm glad I did. By the time we got to Leon, the soles had begun to wear down. If it had been raining, it could have been an issue. By the time we got to Finisterre they were ready for the fire...
