    Trail shoes for a New Balance 880 lover?

    I will be walking again next year. I walked in my Hoka One Ones. While I love them for home they were not a good shoe for the Camino. My arches fell and now I have some damage. I certainly dont want to scare you but pick a shoe with good support. My Hokas feel amazing even to this day but not...

    Show me your tattoo

    I think that my tattoo was what kept me going some days. I was not going to get one unless I completed all 500 miles. I DID and I love my tattoo.

    From which country this pilgrim is from?

    Gossamer. Loved it. Didn’t find one I liked better.

    Ladies Long Tops

    There is always Long Tall Sally. Its been a while since I ordered from them. I also like Title Nine and Jill, their shirts run on the long side.

    To Orisson or not to Orisson...

    I just finished my walk a few weeks ago. No it wasn’t life changing but buy am I glad I did it. I learnt so much about different cultures and all the new friends I met along the way. One of the highlights of my conversations was "did I stay in Orrison?" I did and I’m so glad I did. There are 6...

    Doors on the Camino Frances

    I loved taking pictures of the Camino way markers. Every morning I would pick a flower and put on the markers and send a picture for the day to my granddaughter Sophie. Looking at the photos now, I can remember where they were. I finished last month.

    Municipal albergues allowing large group to reserve 😡

    I’m a slow walker on the Camino. I arrive late in the day and at this point in my walk, there are no rooms. I can either book a pension or hotel or taxi to the next villa. This is not how I imagined my Camino. It’s getting very difficult. I agree that times are changing in the Camino. I wished I...

    Can we do some Pillow talk?

    Half way through my Camino and I use my blow up Summit pillow every night. Wouldn’t want to be without it. Amazing.

    Can we talk TOWELS please?

    I lost my towel in Burgos. I bought a scarf and I have used it as my towel, my neck warmer and shawl. It’s probably 100% poly. It doesn’t say what the material may be. I would not take a towel as such but I would take a scarf. I’m half way through my Camino!

    Sarria

    I’m on my walk and started May 8, I’m in Burgos now. If my 15 year old granddaughter wanted to join me from the USA and walk from Sarria (or any where on Camino Frances) what would be a good flight over and what would be the best way to retrieve her from an airport. I would have to leave my walk...

    Walking and GPS apps

    There are so many new apps to track my walk that I need help in deciding which is best for the Camino Francés. Any advise would be helpful - I leave May 6 so not much time in practicing with a new app. Which one? Relive works with Strava, Endomondo, Garmin Connect, Suunto, Apple Health...

    Chaco sandals pros and cons? (plantar fasciitis dramas)

    I bought two different styles of Chacos but have decided after wearing them to Costa Rica and getting hot spots on the top of my feet, I’m sticking to my Keens and Hoka One Ones. The weight isn’t worth it to take them.

    Second guessing myself

    What was your pack?

    Second guessing myself

    Please send me your suggestions for backpacks and fitting and proper adjustments. I do realize that the Camino is no through hike. I have learnt so much in reading and watching material for a though hike for many years. Never pulling the stop when I should have and gone. The knowledge of...
