    Central Portuguese Chans River Option After O Porriño

    Thanks. Considering the Central Portuguese someday, just apparently lots of road walking. Anyhow, that’s exactly what I see on MAPY.CZ. The Senda do Louro Mos appears to be the river route (Chans) Brierly mentions but only starting at Camino da Gata (N42.1921179° W008.6093314°) and ending at...

    Central Portuguese Chans River Option After O Porriño

    If you have taken the Chans option along the river just after departing O Porriño on the Central Portuguese Camino, where did you pick it up? Some of it looks like a busy highway before coming to the Camino de Gata road??? Is it worth taking this option?

    Central or Espiritual Portuguese Route?

    I’m considering the Traditional / Central Portuguese Route. I’m most interested in visiting historical churches, monasteries, castles,… would it be best then to take the Espiritual Variante or stay on the Central route after Pontevedra? Any other reasons to stay on one or the other? If you’ve...

    Mileage tracker

    I I believe MAPY only allows you to save tracks if you setup an account (free). The plus to MAPY is that in OUTDOOR mode it has virtually every trail displayed on it and if you ask for the distance between locations it’ll assume trails. MAPY also has a setting that pauses tracking when you stop...

    Mileage tracker

    The free MAPY.cz app. Just ensure you put it in “Outdoor” mode. It also has just about every trail’s track including Caminos and you can download the areas you’ll be in so you don’t need to use data. Its “Tracker” when used automatically pauses measuring when you stop which many trackers do not...

    Camino Primitivo

    What style Hokas? Do you know how many miles were already on them or were they new? Was thinking of switching from Altra Lone Peaks as the quality isn’t what it once was.

    HOKA warning

    Did you order them online from a reputable company? Are you certain they are truly from Hoka and not “knock-offs”?

    Arriving late in St Jean

    I find the free app MAPY the most useful for hiking. Simply download the area you are going to be in and you won’t need connectivity (ie, data). But do make sure you also select “outdoor” mode to get the world’s trails including Caminos. You can also use it for streets, etc and directions. If...

    Records Maintained in Pilgrim Office

    Does anyone have information on what records may be maintained in Santiago’s Pilgrim Office? Can one find information on ancestors or relatives that may have walked the Camino? Are these records kept electronically and available in the pilgrim’s office / library?

    Calling all spreadsheet nerds, I need planning inspiration!

    Walked several trails in northern UK and Cotswold Way, but running out of ideas if to walk any others in the UK. Haven’t really considered the South Down Way as thought it might not be too interesting??? What did you like, not like? Nice villages? Scenic countryside? Thx

    Le Puy vs. Norte.

    The Cicerone GR65 Guidebook says the walk out of Cahors after the Pont Valentre bridge requires some scrambling??? Is that the case?

    Availability of Taxis on Entire Camino Le Puy

    Availability of Taxis on Entire Camino Le Puy

    If needed due to injury, how easy is it to obtain a taxi to the next day’s destination on the Camino Le Puy between Le Puy en Velay and SJPdP? On the Camino Francés they weren’t required, but it appeared if needed they were prevalent.

    Choosing Between Altra Olympus and Lone Peak for the Camino

    The Olympus doesn’t have a rock plate unlike the Lone Peaks. Why is that? Does the extra cushioning make the rock plate superfluous on the Olympus?

    Nimblewill Nomad's Record-Breaking Completion of the Appalachian Trail at Age 83

    We met 93-year-old Dorothea Adaskin and her daughter Tanya Bigge from Washington state in Sahagún hiking the Francés in 2017. I do know they both made it to Santiago from St. Jean Pied de Port over 46 days. I don't know if there are records of the oldest person completing the entire route, but...
