    Ex Officio vs Smartwool underwear?

    Tested out various underwear before doing my 30 day pilgrimage and landed on Icebreaker's Women's Merino, Siren Hipkini Briefs. Loved them so much that they are basically the only kind of underwear I use. Worth the money!

    Accommodation options along the Via Gebennensis pilgrimage route from Geneva in 2021

    Thank you! I'll probably just stick with the ones I have, but I will add the two additional "accueil jacquaire." What does HC actually stand for? I realize it indicates distance from the "chemin."

    Accommodation options along the Via Gebennensis pilgrimage route from Geneva in 2021

    Thanks for the bar code tip Suzanne! Just today I went through the added three pages of corrections that came with the 20/21 guide...but will try the scanning as well. My "plan" is to walk for four weeks and see where I end up. Figured I should make it Conques or somewhere there about.

    Shoes for wide feet, want to avoid problems with zero drop shoes

    After wearing Keen boots of various kinds for years (day hikes), I started getting issues and after a lot of looking and trying out boots and trail shoes...landed on Topo's Ultraventure...my lasted pair being the updated Ultraventure 2. They don't last as long as Keen boots, but are so...

    Macabi skirt sizing/slim/usage

    I just got the knee length Macabi skirt, and liked it when I wearing it for a test hike. Found it very comfortable. Will also bring a set of lightweight wool/silk leggings from Janus.

    Accommodation options along the Via Gebennensis pilgrimage route from Geneva in 2021

    Hi, I'm flying into Geneva on the 28th of April and got two different versions of a guidebook for Geneve to Le Puy, one is what is referred to as the yellow book above, by the Association Rhone-Alpes des Amis de Saint-Jacques.

    Holy Year Passports Available

    I would be interested. Am planning for May 22. I've had to postpone it twice. Hoping to do Via Gebennensis and then as far as I get on via Podiensis, both in France. Am not sure how to send you a private message.

    Your favorite camino hat!

    Would recommend Charlie Taslan Bucket hat by MJM Hats. After a long hunt for a good hat, I'm really happy with this one. https://hatstoreworld.com/charlie-taslan-olive-bucket-mjm-hats

    Compiling a list of refugios that accept tents

    Is there a similar list or any suggestions for people doing pilgrimage in France? Am planning to do via Gebennensis and then do as far as I get on via Podiensis. Rather than staying in official campgrounds it would be nice to connect with the pilgrims staying in the local "gîte." Am sure I'll...

    Thinking about tents

    Haven't read all the info above, so this may have been mentioned already...but have decided to go for this 28oz tent that packs down to 12 by 5 inches. It uses trekking poles, which I wanted to bring anyway and I will use my rain poncho as a footprint. It's not the cheapest, but at $200 it beats...

    From Geneva to the End of the World.....

    Davey, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your amazing story and with such honesty and openness. As others have expressed, I'd love to read more...yet realize this was several years ago, and as with all things, it takes time. What decision did you make as for as routes in Spain...
