    Best camino so far!

    Wish I'd read your post 3months ago.... After doing the francaise in may we decided to do the Portuguese in September..... Not enjoyable in the least..

    Getting your protein on the Camino

    Thanks for that Mike, I never thought about tinned pulses but that would be a good daily snack and as for magnesium, I have a spray I use on my aching muscle daily_ I might start on tablets too! Ben camino!

While I...
