    Boots Recommendation

    I walked the Camino from Irun to Burgos and then on to Santiago. My boots were Teva e-vent and reckon they fit your requirements. Big toe box, very light weight, strong and supportive. Not sure about waterproofing as they are not goretex - a disaster in warm weather - but I am sure you can...

    Looking for property on camino de Santiago

    I walked the Camino in May and as a sort of 'Proprty nerd' always had my eye open for things for sale. I saw literally dozens of properties with for sale signs the vast majority in a fairly ruinous state but with huge potential. My advice would be to choose a few locales that you are...

    Icebreaker vs Smartwool socks

    There is only one kind of sock worth having and that is merino wool. Bridgedale offer the best selection from lightweight to heavyweight - look for merino wool fusion. In the end you cannot beat a sheep no matter what anyone may tell you.

    The Tunnel Route

    Hi Joe thanks for responding. Sort of gathered that the initial part might be a bit dull but made up for onwards. As a matter of interest why did you go to SDdlC rather than straight to Burgos (obvious answer may be the wine of course)? Anyway am much Looking forward to the journey haven't done...

    Need Forum Input on Daily Meet-up in Santiago

    I haven't yet got to Santiago but am not sure why one would 17.00 as a good time. One may have just arrived and be trying to find a bed, one may have been there a day or two and be asleep, why not have it at some sociable 'Spanish' hour like 8-9 before dinner? Or else at breakfast time or...

    The Tunnel Route

    Hi all I am starting the Camino in early May and have decided to walk the first stage from Irun to santo Domingo rather than starting at SJP. This involves the tunnel route through St Adrian's Tunnel which is an ancient and still well defined route although not heavily used. It sounds to me an...
