    Salomon shoes and sizing up

    I went one and a half sizes up in Salomons last year ....previous Camino ten years ago I went two sizes up and had no issues. This time I developed big toe problems probably caused by pressure on descents and padding only increased the pressure. I resorted to wearing only a nylon stocking liner...

    LIVE from the Camino Trash

    Hi there. I'm also walking at the moment in Ventosa. It's there.. so are rubbish bins, electricity cables, all sorts of unsightly paraphernalia of careless modern life. Don't add to it . Just don't focus on it. Don't let it steal the beauty of your Camino.

    Thanks Nicola. I did a cull of my pack getting it down to 5.3 kg including the merino leggings. I will add back my icebreaker merino dress now.

    Waiting To Board My Flight

    I leave for Paris from NZ in four days and the last time I felt like this was over forty years ago as a 19 year old waking in the predawn early morning looking forward to meeting my baby girl post-caesarian!! Unreal..have to remind myself to breathe.

    I have full length Kathmandu merino leggings and a 3/4 Icebreaker pair as possibilites. I guess I was getting nervous that it would be really hot over the Pyrennees and non-wool shorter leggings rather than hiking trousers might help there. Pre-Camino nerves probably.

    Wither the Weather?

    I would have thought it would be warmer starting off and extra gear needed as wecwslk though October. Is the Pyrennes likely cold later September?

    Wither the Weather?

    Hi Nancy. I leave two days after you and would love the same information. I expect it will be quite warm the first week or so and then get progressively colder. Just have to prepare for both, I guess. May see you on the Way Buen Camino

    I leave from SJPdP on 24 September, flying into Paris early next week. I have my pack largely organised however I will be walking slowly and may add additional routes since my return date is 12 November so there is likely a change in weather over that time. I will be wearing light hiking...

    Raingear on Frances in September

    I don't know what the newer Altus rainwear is like...such a misconception when it is referred to as a "poncho" since as Kanga says it is a coat. What I know is that it is my non-negotiable item for my second Camino late September - November this year. (Just four weeks to go....So excited!!)...

    Social Experience, Camnio Family

    Sometimes I wonder if the movie "The Way" leads us to expect a small group of intimates to form rather than fluid joining and leaving as we share commonalities along a shared path.
