    Phone range btwn SJPDP & Orisson?

    So, 8 weeks out from the day we leave, I developed Achilles tendonitis. The physio says rest, so Ive lost my final two months training 😏. At this stage it's all looking a bit questionable, but I'm determined to still give it a go. If I start walking and find the steep incline too painful, am I...

    Sock question for pilgrims with "chunky" ankles / feet

    I have been "blessed" (not) with "high volume" (fat lol) feet, wide feet, and chunky ankles. A such, I have a lot of trouble finding suitable socks. I wear liner toe socks, that's fine. My problem is the second sock. Most hiking socks have an elasticised band around the middle of the sock. I...

    Where to buy toe socks along the Camino Frances?

    I find the Ininji liner toe socks to be fantastic for preventing blisters between my toes, but they tend to wear out quickly. Has anyone found places along the Camino Frances where these can be purchased? Thank you.

    Walking with lumbar pack only

    Has anyone walked with a lumbar (waist) pack only? If so, what pack did you use and would you recommend it? I walked the Frances in 2018 with a 6kg backpack but I now have an issue with my shoulder so I'm considering using a lumbar pack next year if I can tweak (reduce) my gear a bit.

    Here now - need boots stretched

    I've made a silly rookies mistake and forgot to ask for newspaper to stuff into my very wet leather hiking boots, and consequently they have shrunk and ate causing me grief. Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to get them stretched? Somewhere from Najera onwards. Thank you

    Ryan air vs Iberia express

    Hello again Any comments (pros & cons) for either airline? Do internal flights get cancelled very often? We have a 10pm flight out of Madrid, and wondering how safe/wise it would be to book an early morning flight from Santiago to Madrid? (or would it be better to fly to Madrid the day before)
