    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    Sorry buddy, those little packs are the most horrible coffee ever. I have a little ultralight stove. I pack some fresh coffee and a coffee press. It is heaven

    The Camino Isn’t A Pilgrimage Anymore

    Looking for a Freestanding Dome Tent for Camino Trip

    I would much rather camp than share with a bunch of snoring and wind breaking pilgrims. Seriously I am a ridiculously light sleeper.

    Looking for a Freestanding Dome Tent for Camino Trip

    Hi, I am also going to camp on the camino, I do think it is worth investing in a good tent though. Do you have Decathlon stores? They are all over Europe and they sell good tents. I have an ultralight 1 person at 1.3 kg which is not bad, I paid 99 euros I think. You really don't want it to fail...

    Daughter, her Dog and walking the CF

    you post is still very relevant, there are lots of people like me scouring the internet for help and advice. It sparked a conversation, some had different opinions but most of them were valid. This thread may go on for years.. :)

    How are rented bicycles secured and protected from theft?

    railway stations, universities and shopping centers are big targets. It really depends the City though. I have a very good lock, it is like a huge steel chain link. They would need a grinder to get it off. Which some thieves do use but it attracts attention. Double lock it. Take the seat off.

    Daughter, her Dog and walking the CF

    I am walking the Primitivo around May 2nd. I have an ultra light sleep/tent system. My dog has her own pack to carry water, a bowl and a small amount of food. I think we can do it. But it would be nice occasionally to rest in a place with showers etc. I am of the opinion that if a man or woman...

    Is it just me? (Enjoying urban stages)

    I grew up in a dirty industrial city, I don't want to walk through them, I like nature

    Giving Up on the Primitivo

    I am 64 and walking it around May 4th/5th. I live in the Netherlands at the moment, it is flat as a pancake here, not much opportunity to train on hills at all. I am doing lots of step-ups. God knows how it will work out but I don't care, I have faith in myself and as has been said, head down...

    Primitivo - May - reducing backpack weight

    Hi, I am planning to walk the primitivo around the 4th/5th of May. I plan to use a pair of Merrell Moab 2, suede and fabric, about 1.3kg the pair. I will give then a good pray with water proofing before I leave, would you recommend a Poncho... or jacket and waterproof trousers? I also plan to...

    Where to leave my car

    Some people are so negative about dogs and the Camino. I am taking my dog. she can easily walk 15 miles a day. We do that or more every day anyway. She loves it. If I left her in kennels she would be traumatized also she is family and where I go she goes. Anyone who has ever travelled in Europe...
