    Dodgy knee

    Thank you for all the interesting and detailed replies! I must admit that until now I have just 'put up with it' but reading some of your stories I guess I should seek medical advice. I'm also aware that the tubular bandage may be giving me nothing more than a placebo effect. There seems to...

    Dodgy knee

    I have had a dodgy left knee for over 20 years (I blame it on seven years of karate when I was younger, I'm nearly 62 now) and so when I walk any distance I wear a simple, cheap tubular bandage on that knee which I feel helps relieve the pain and support the joint. I have seen several commercial...

So if I wanted to stay an extra night e.g. in Pamplona for sightseeing, would I have to use a hotel for the second night or could I just move...

    Alternate versions of “The Way”

    I re-watched it a couple of weeks ago on Amazon Prime. It certainly did have the scene at the end with his son ... and if I remember correctly, when I originally saw it a few years ago on TV it also had that scene. Some countries do edit films differently with scenes being removed because of...

    The shell?

    Apologies for what is probably a dumb newbie question :) but here goes... I have read some posts about obtaining your Camino passport in the office at SJPdP before you start and some also mention getting a shell. Is the shell just as a souvenir of your journey? Or is it required as some sort of...

    Travelling from Manchester, England to SJPDP - advice?

    I live near Manchester in north-west England and there seem to be a few options for getting to SJPDP. 1 - Direct flight to Bilbao, then bus and train to SJPDP 2 - Connecting flights to London, then Biarritz, then bus to Bayonne and train to SJPDP 3 - Direct flight to Paris and train to Bayonne...
