    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    Wow!! So many people commenting on poles! Let me add my two cents: I hiked with poles for several years, including several treks in Nepal. They helped enough so I brought them and used them (sometimes, fitfully, on the toughest sections only). But they never really “sang” for me. I guess...

    Walking Poles or not?

    My advice: PACER POLES!!! PACER POLES are worth every pence — and more (and I’m very cheap). I used regular poles for years, including trekking in Nepal. Based on advice from this forum, I bought a set of Pacer Poles just before I went to SSPdP, I used them (with rubber tips, of course) for...

    First time walkers, poles?

    My wife and I just finished the CF. She has terrible knee problems; I had developed painful golfers' elbow in the past after using regular poles and dreaded getting it again. Here's my advice: buy yourself a set of Pacerpoles!! You will never regret it! Any set of poles can be a huge help --...

    Virus affecting many in Fromista, Carrion de Los Condes

    My wife got this same horrible bug walking into Fromista! It was odd, as she and I were eating the same things. It took her out of condition for an entire day. Then, for some bizarre reason, she had so much energy the next day that I could not keep up with her!

    The Crepes Lady of Fonfria

    She gave me a crepe on October 10, 2018. It was an excellent crepe, although cold and without sugar (and I have been making my own crepes for 40 years, so I know good crepes!). She was very old and tiny and - yes, insistent about her donativo. I was delighted to give her a euro.
