    September 2022

    Looks like I am planning a bit out from most of you perogrino/a's. Walked 150 miles this past September. This go around I am hoping to get from Estella to Leon, skipping Burgos to Castrojertez, which I walked my first go-around. At 77, I feel I can successfully go 10-12 miles a day, more if...

    Do you know the way to Pamplona??

    Tried to find an answer in the archives, but no joy! There are 4 of us planning to do the Frances in late Sept/Oct. 2 are in great shape, my neighbor the Superintendant at Cedar Breaks Nat. Monument and his wife. The other 2, including me, are not in the same league. We would like to fly...

    Kindle usefulness?

    :confused::confused: Would appreciate any info regarding today's Kindles, as a device to take on the Frances next year. My current one is so old it had a analog keyboard on it and its internet usefulness is almost nil. I have a Pantech tablet which is useful as a book reader and internet...

    The Last Templar series has one on Santiago

    Certainly not a spiritual book but for those who read 'murder mysteries', Michael Jecks has one of his series take place in Santiago on the early 1300s. It is part of the 'Last Templar' series and is entitled, 'The Templar's Penance'. Well written and the author does a good job of filling in...

I can see the advantage of using 2 poles but somehow a longer staff seems to me to be sturdier and won't collapse on you if you suddenly put a lot of weight on it. I have expensive sticks which did just that and...
