    Troubleshooting the Wise Pilgrim Norte app map on iPhone

    After several days of working just fine, the Wise Pilgrim Norte app on my iphone stopped changing map size by spreading / pinching 2 fingers. The picture instantly gets so big when touched I can't even find the dotted Camino line. I tried deleting and reinstalling >> nada :-( Ideas? Fixes...

    No sub-forum for Lisbon to Santiago Central route?

    Am I missing something? I don’t see a choice here for information on the basic Camino Portugues (Lisbon to Santiago Central Route).

    Big Bad Dog on CP just before Alverca do Ribatejo

    I just biked the CP backwards from SDC to Lisbon. This happened yesterday, September 28, 2019 on a normal south to north walker’s first or second day out of Lisbon. The place is just before a south to north walker will come to Alverca do Ribatejo (the town where you have to go up stairs into a...

    Cycling the Camino Portugues *Backwards* from Santiago to Lisbon, Central route

    I just finished cycling Santiago to Lisbon, the Central route, Sept 15-28, 2019. Here’s the ride report: My Bike Iberia rental bike rocked and they were a great company to deal with. I was able to fill out all their forms without computer (iphone only) access by screenshotting their application...

    Blue Arrows (Fatima route) on Portuguese Camino

    Apologize for posting this here but nobody has ever replied to any of my (3) posts over in the Camino Portuguese forum. Does anybody know if the blue (Fatima) arrows are present on the Coastal route or the Central route south of Redondelo? I am right now cycling the Portuguese Camino...

    Book recommendation Lisbon to Santiago

    Can anyone recommend a book available in Kindle form that tells about the towns and sights along the Camino Portuguese? (I am cycling the Portuguese Coastal Route right now). I already have a paper copy of Brierley’s map book and Wise Pilgrim’s “The Camino Portuguese” app, which is saving me...

    Cycling from SDC to Lisbon

    I have rented a bike from BikeIberia to start the Portuguese Camino backwards from SDC on Sept 17. Must arrive in Lisbon by Sept 30 to catch flight home on Oct 1. BikeIberia is sadly out of Garmins to rent and does not have a route map for this ride. Any advice on a book or maps I can buy so I...

    Wisely: Must you have Camino Places app for Frances app to work?

    After putting the Wisely Camino Places free app on my phone, I bought its associated Frances app. Do I need to keep both apps on my iphone for the Frances app to work? (Would like to delete the 400MB Camino Places and keep just the 60MB Frances).

    Is KT Tape available on the Camino Frances?

    KT Tape helps with my posterior tibial tendonitis (ankle/foot). It's popular here in the U.S., readily available at Walmart and elsewhere. Does anyone know if it's available on the CF?

    Is it OK to keep your pack on your top bunk with you?

    I prefer a top bunk (for privacy plus I have no trouble climbing up and down so can leave bottom bunks for those that need them). I would like to keep my pack up there with me to facilitate quiet packing up in the morning - early riser. Would prevent stealing too. But I've read on here you're...

    Changing Socks (or just airing them out)

    Question: Instead of changing socks, is it enough to take them off over a long break (lunch?), shake out the sand, and turn them inside out and let dry? This is what I've been doing on my practice walks at ~90+F (32+C). I'll be walking the CF in Aug/Sept. I wear 2 socks on my right foot (smaller...

    Found contoured water bottle that fits in pack side pockets

    Finally found a curved water bottle that fits in the tight side pockets of my Osprey Jib35 pack (the pockets crunch up the cheaper regular plastic bottles that water comes in and you can't force the heavier ones down into the pockets without taking off the pack). Ultraspire UltraFlask 550...
