    Train from Paris to Bayonne 30 April

    So with the train strike happening, I have decided to stay and extra day in Paris so I can travel on a no-strike day. If I purchased a non-refundable discount train ticket and for some reason the trains are out that day as well, am I entitled to a refund. Or should I pay extra? TIA

    Walking poles and Qatar Airlines

    I am flying with Qatar Airlines and I don't think I can carry my walking poles in the plane. I just checked their rules and walking sticks are ok, but walking poles were excluded. Does anybody have recent experience. I can't fold and place mine in my luggage.

    Stockings for blister prevention

    While in NZ in December, I came across a travel magazine with an article about the Camino. The article started off, 'But first, buy a pack of lady's stockings.' Apparently you wear the stockings under a pair of socks, and hikers swear by it. Anyone heard of this?

    Haven't decided which walk to do.

    Hello, this is my first post. I am considering walking the Camino in 2018 or 2019. I don't know which one I should do so am looking to buy a book which describes all the possibilities before deciding. Then buy a book for the one I decide on. Can anyone recommend the best guide for me? thank you
