Second day out on the Camino Portuguese, I left my poles on a bench while I was getting my pack sorted. Some man came after me to return them. So sorry, I hope you get them back.
Hi - A wool long sleeve or something long sleeve that won't absorb moisture will be good for evenings, still gets a little chilly. Foggy only one day. I am on the Espiritual Variante right now and still wearing merino T's and zip off pants. Start mornings with a light cover up, my rain jacket...
Hi -On the CP right now, doing mostly Coastal and Senda Littoral......in Vigo this evening. It has been very warm with the exception of first night out of Porto (April 7th). Packed all my rain gear and coats away. I have been walking with merino T-shirt for the past 6 days. Bring sunscreen...
Disgusting, something is seriously wrong with these men. I am glad your daughter is OK, that just makes it worse to have a young person experience that. Really, I am on the Portuguese Coastal route right now and I have experienced such kindness from both men and women. I hate that these...
Agree, they are cowardly. If they were dangerous, they wouldn't give you a warning by pulling it out. I would probably be so mad, I would kick some butt. I have been lifting weights for the past year and am feeling strong. Seriously, though....how pathetic. Don't let it ruin the Camino for...
Not to make light of your situation and Blessings to the fellow pilgrim who helped you along the way. Very scary situation. I am glad you got the help you needed. I have been training with a SmartWatch for the last few weeks to monitor my HR, BP, O2 and measure steps, mileage etc. I have...
I take a few pills myself, Calcium, Krill oil, Tylenol and one prescription med. I am going for 3 weeks so just put them all in one baggy. Much lighter.........360 is sure to be much heavier than...
Yup, what you said! I camp all the time in the summer but I am treating myself with privacy this trip. I am outgoing enough that when I want to mix with other folks, I will.
I just used the soles that came with the boot to measure what part of SF had to be cut. Worked out well but I guess it depends if you have soles you can remove to do that.
I have a story that may give you hope. I have a beautiful Celtic cross that I lost at a dog park during the winter and when things started to melt, I took my dog back to that park and I noticed a sign on the bench describing said necklace with a phone number to contact. Long story short, I got...
Anniespar - thanks for asking all these questions. I had exactly the same ones. I just got my ticket off CP and the site is really buggy. First you have to register and it doesn't take postal codes (with or without a space) so I just put in some random numbers and it worked. I had to try...
Something I just read in the forums made me think - is it OK to use an old credential from 2021. I was all set to go on a Camino but the CV hit so plans were delayed to this year. I will need to get a new one, if it matters?
Similar thing happened to me years ago and I just went to a nice hotel and ask to rent an office space for an hour and a half. Cheap, quiet and worked out well......depends if you are near a bigger city though.
