    Camino Finisterre - warning.

    I think you became quite clear about your point, thank you for that. Everyone is now able to make a educated decision like you did. But please do not try to hurt this small business.

    5 things most pilgrims don't do on the Camino (but should)

    I have to dissent on the widow issue at least for the Europeans from Germany. Most Germans I know like their window open while sleeping.

    German Camino - Some advise

    I can recommend to join the FB group "Jakobsweg Begeisterte" (=Camino Enthusiasts). They are very active and could help you even if you post in English. If you need help in Trier, please contact me, I have family there.

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    Only Popes are wearing red shoes. QUOTE="Raggy, post: 754452, member: 73526"] Shorts can contrast, But coordinated hats worked for Team Zissou, and why not match the shoes too? https://arcteryx.com/gb/en/shop/mens/norvan-ld-shoe...

    Arrrgh. . . It's Too Red. Will It Be Like Carrying An Easter Egg?

    I just got red Osprey one which not Red enough for my taste. For me is visibility of the colour important. Actually not emportant enough to use a bright neon green one or - God beware - a neon pink one. 😁

    Decision made

    I just learned that at least in Roncesvalles and O Cebreiro are no blankets supplied. The are the highest and coldest spots on the Frances (https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/sleeping-bag-vs-liner.62397/).

    Sleeping bag vs liner

    Personally I can't stand sleeping bags, but I'm a big and tall guy. I just got the snugpak jungle blanket XL. This one is perfect to me. It's warm enough, light and packs small. I will use it together with a silk liner. I would not recommend the double black diamond blanket because of the down...

    She wants to start early April. I might start already in March. At this time it could be pretty chilly I've heard.

    Decision made

    Hi Danielle. Congrats to your commitment. I have exactly the same plan, starting in early April 2020. I'm not sure where I will start from but I plan to fly to Paris. Two days ago I've got my "sleeping bag" a SnugPak Jungle Blanket. It is just 900somthing gramm and packs quite compact. I'm...

    Warning! Alert to women doing the Camino alone near Logroño - Please share

    Pepper spray and tazer are in most European countries illegal. But a nice load capsaicin on his private parts might heal him from his urges for awhile.

    Bringing CBD Oil to Europe in Luggage

    I doubt Spanish border guards are more relaxed about illegal drugs. And if someone is banned from visa free entering an Schengen country he/she need to apply for any other Schengen country for an visa. Even Norway and Switzerland are part of the Schengen treaty.

    EEK!

    I probably won’t do this again

    Deuter backpacks are really nice but hard to get here. The yellow book is the "Schmitke"?

    Class of 2020

    I am planning to walk by myself from Pamplona to Santiago mid or end March 2019. I will be 60, hate to walk, much overweight and have knee, back and hip problems. But something is dragging me to face this challenge, even it might be the biggest of my life until now. My wife and me are planning...
