Thanks @MickMac . I've just watched it all. Very nice way to spend a morning. Cheers C

Hi Carla. My thermos has a wide mouth on it and the immersion coil heater does fit in. Although it is meant for a cup, theoretically it could work. Just don't let the water level get close to power cord ... obviously 🤪. Hopefully pics will give you a better idea. (Apologies if I stuff this bit...

Hi Carla I have used a coil heater/immersion heater whilst on the CF. Loved it and won't leave home without it whilst travelling in Europe. This time I am hiking in the UK doing a Coast to coast walk - West to East. I have found a light weight thermos by Klean Kanteen wide vacuum insulated...

Yep, I'm off too. But this time to the UK. The Cumbria way, Hadrians wall then St Oswald's way. Thanks to an old thread with idea from @VNwalking. I was a hairsbreath from booking flights etc in 2020 then the dreaded C-19. Singapore Air $1800 return with all cancellation insurances. Travel...

Hi Vonnie I had same problem in Zubiri in 2017 everything completo but found this lovely little place out of Zubiri but before Larrasoana. They were extremely helpful in picking us up and transporting us to accommodation and then taking us back into Zubiri for a meal. Nice and clean, simple...

Hi Aussieannie to get your International covid cert, go to your MyGov account, into Medicare, proof of vaccination area, scroll down to below the aust covid cert and the link for international one is there. You will need your passport details to complete, then download into device from there...

Thanks for the link! This is my present to myself. Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New year to all. Cheers Carmel

I walked CP to SDC in Sept this year - the Coastal route. So my vote is for Viana. Great place to visit. If you head this way try to stay at Donna Emilia - Fabulous bnb Hotel. I had my best meal the whole trip in Viana as well. Great Cathedral to visit on the hill, accessable by Furnicular...

Yep MichaelF! I walked my first camino in 2017 with a plantar facititis! ( Just stubborn I guess) and developed knee pain before Sarria ( thank goodness for the trekking poles!). Two years on, lots of physio, acupunture and an arthroscopy with patellar release and very slow walking to build...

I'm with Laurie on the treatment of blisters. But just to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons.... I use Tea Tree Oil(a plant based natural anti bacterial)to cleanse the unopened blister then after. Pop on a bandaid & KTape after to keep in place. Blisters on feet will be living in hot sweaty...

I stayed in a B & B just up the hill from the Arch way - Errecaldia. It's run by a couple of English gents. Not overly flash but clean and welcoming with all the amenities required and a nice hearty breakfast in the morning. Nice and clean and quiet, great views from the windows! for Mountain...

I used Wigwam Coolmax socks on the CF in Sept/Oct. Absolutely no problems with them. However they had worn out in the heel area close to the end. Just keep in mind, you might need an extra pair in case of wear and tear. Cheers CL

I'm with you Wendy I'm from Qld btw. Soooooo jealous of the members who live in Europe. Oh to win to the Lotto!!!!! 6mths to go - but who's counting.😂

I found out about this last Sept when I joined the French speaking guided tour of the outside of the Cathedral. My friend had to translate for me! I loved the shadow and the story so charming.

This was taken before reaching Samos last Oct. I was very interested in encountering the dangerous beasties! ;)

Hi @markbarnes. I am in Azofra tonight. I have only packed a silk liner & not a sleeping bag. The nights are cooler & not all albergue 's offer a blanket. So far I have slept in my clothes & liner twice & been ok. So who knows. The locals are saying that it is a little cooler than usual...

Hi Mayuresh, I will be starting on the 7th and staying at Orisson as well. Maybe we will meet along the uphill climb. I will most likely be the one expiring on the side of the path!! :D Cheers CL
