    A Great Way to Carry a DSLR camera on the Camino

    I have been using this Peak Designs mount for years for my D6 and up to a 200mm lens. It works really really well. I walked Camino Portuguese, Primitivo, San Salvador with it. I regularly swop it from one to other side's shoulder strap and to hip belt. And sometimes Camera goes in the pack...

    Sleeping bag needed, Coastal Route from Porto?

    Hola Alyssa. I also set out today from Porto today. Me and Godzilla the backpack! Am in Matosinhos tonight. So far in portugal all the hostels have had light duvets and sheets. But perhaps the pilgrim albergues will not offer this, in which case a light sleeping bag may come in useful to stay...

    The new and cleaned up Cathedral

    Arriving last Sept, it was all hidden and encrusted with scaffolding. I will be walking again, this time from Porto in October, and so looking forward to being met by the cathedral's smiling face.

    Hello Eswee. I am thinking of walking south, SDC to Porto. In October 2018. Does that sound reasonable?

A large S-hook for hanging my pack from bed/tree/bench. This was not my...

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    Hola Salvador peregrinos. The Birds. I arrived in LA Robla last afternoon, to find 3 peregrinos in the albergue who'd each had an encounter with The Bird. And her partner. Sadly it left me alone! Perhaps it was tired after its busy morning chasing the first 3. Some photos were taken...

    Back from the Salvador - Wow! And bird warning :)

    Well done! I'm on my way to Leon tomorrow, and setting off from there on Wednesday for Oviedo and SGC, solo. I hope I see this feisty hawk! She probably has a nest there and is fed up with us all traipsing past her brood. A question - serious weather means what exactly? Although having asked the...

    Class of 2017

    Hola peregrinos. This is my first actual posting on this forum, eeek! Been doing a lot of reading here, though, and have to say that you are one helpful bunch of people on this amazing forum. I will be setting out from Leon first week of September 2017, heading north to Oviedo on the Salvador...

    Smartphone vs. camera - how to carry the camera?

    No agonizing here :) - I am lugging my beloved 6D and 16-35mm along too, plus 70-200 zoom (though I am agonizing about this one). 3 kg the lot. Seems insane, no doubt about it. For me, though, seeing through the camera eye enhances the deep exploration of place and mood. Buen camino to you!

    Tips/advice on walking Salvador then Primitivo

    Hola! I am new around here, but found your thread because I am planning to do the same two caminos, in September too, (perhaps starting from Burgos on the CF): Salvador, Primitivo, and getting to Santiago de Compostela for 27 September. Thanks to all the old hands for their amazing advice. I...
