    The Introverted Pilgrim

    That is one of my major reasons for wanting to do the Camino, and now you say it is not a "cure" yikes

    Osprey Exos 48 good pack for Camino?

    What MEC pack did you (and others) use. I have checked them out but haven't come across one I thought was appropriate

    Poste Restante

    Ah the memories, Poste restante 1973 the thrill of reconnecting with a fellow traveler when your paths were to cross again priceless thanks for jogging my memory

    First day

    Thanks but I was thinking of somewhere past Orrison, or half way between the two

    First day

    Is Orrison and/or Roncesvalles the only two options on day one , going the Napoleon route, for a place to stay?

    Socks and Crocks

    No I am not asking the perceived question, " is acceptable to wear socks with sandals or crocs". Coming from a country with four distinct seasons I find myself (in summer) wearing sockless crocs the majority of the time. Not the traditional crocs, but the 'santa cruz" type which resembles a...

    Daily laundry perplexes me

    So what happens when you travel through days of constant drizzle and cannot dry out your extra clothes, especially socks

    CPAP on the Camino

    Newest product out there, I have yet to put to a prolonged test is https://www.proventtherapy.com/ I tried the dental device but it doesn't work for me. Provent is only available by a doctor's prescription

    Dangers of Walking Poles

    It sounds as if buying equipment in SJPT is an easy solution to travelling woes. Are their prices more expensive ?

    Mountain Warehouse

    Thanks for the replies. They are pretty much what I expected. I never planned buying footwear there, and am still leaning towards an osprey pack. Everything else seems fair game though. I'm assuming a merino t shirt is a merino t shirt. I didn't look closely at their sock selection but as far as...

    Mountain Warehouse

    This is a UK store that has now opened in my area. Their prices are extremely more attractive than similar outfitters. I was wondering about the quality. Anyone familiar with their wares? I was looking at their line of rucksacks, they are light enough but will they fall apart.

    Deciding when to go

    Is the reason for buying one size larger footwear, because of wearing thicker or double socks, or because of foot swelling? Too big a shoe, to me, means friction thus blisters.

    most unfortunate, stolen I phones and tablets

    Do the Albergues that do have lockers also have locks or do you bring your own. Is there enough of them that have lockers to make it worthwhile to bring a lock.

    The finish line

    As I peruse the forums I find so many who cherish their camino experience but find Santiago as somewhat of a letdown or anticlimactic. I am wondering if it is because these same people are doing the way for reasons other than religious. That is not the point I am trying to make but rather a...

    Osprey Farpoint 40

    I was almost sold on a Kestrel 38, although I really don't want to check it as luggage. I know some have said it can make it as carryon but I don't particularly want to chance it. The Farpoint claims to be carryon size, however it looks like it would be a little cumbersome backpacking with it...

    Backpacks

    It seems sizing of packs is comparing apples to oranges. For those preaching "small" versions of packs, it could be that you are 5' tall and 90lbs. Whereas the length of your clothes etc would easily fold down to a 33 ltr. pack. The extra room required for someone 6'2" and 250lbs (for the exact...

    Last 100 km 2 stamps a day

    Silly question, but taken literally if someone was ailing, or having no time restraints, and decided to walk the last portion in 10 days, or even 20 days, does that mean 20 or 40 stamps respectively, need to be collected for a Compostela?

    That Movie – The Way

    If they had indeed walked the Camino it would have some meaning. This is just gratuitous graffiti

    Difficulty at Pilgrims Office in Santiago

    True but there are legitimate reasons why it can be important to some people. Personally, (hopefully) should I get mine ,it would not be for "bragging rights". I would view it as a "physical" embodiment not for me, but as an inspiration for my children and grandchildren. An example of what is...
