    Scam & booking.com

    Are there any defining features that help to know if it’s a clone booking .com or the real deal? I’ve done a bunch of bookings on the platform and they all seem legit….😬

    Advice please on Achilles tendon

    …that’s interesting. I’ve been to the physio and had treatment and for the moment, I’m not taking anything to gauge how it’s healing. I think there’s some progress - I read that resting as much as you can for the first 3-4 days is very important. I’m doing just that so 🤞🏽for recovery!

    Advice please on Achilles tendon

    Thank you so much. This is really helpful. Just one more question(I’ll be definitely following your advice) - does the careful gentle walking aggravate your tendinitis and make it worse?

    Advice please on Achilles tendon

    Thanks Michelle I’ve been doing that exactly but there’s plenty of conflicting opinions. I thought I’d check in with ‘lived experience’!

    Advice please on Achilles tendon

    Thank you! So good to hear you’re 3 Camino’s in with tendinitis - gives me great hope and courage. I’ve read anti inflammatories can be counter beneficial. Is this your experience?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid Test Required?

    Quick question - I’m going in circles on the internet…I fly from Australia to Dublin, spend two days the fly to Biarritz and on to SJPP.

    Advice: Restart Camino from SJPP or from where I left off 5 years ago?

And, Like you, where to start - where I left off or back at SJPP? The net result of much oscillation, was to start again...
