    Topography - does it really matter??

    I agree 100%. When one has the luxury of time … anything is possible and going with daily flow very attractive.

    Walking the Del Norte March 3 - 11

    I am free to do a solo walking journey on the del Norte from approx. March 3 - 11 and wondering about week long suggested routes. I am relatively fit and looking to walk minimum 20k/day. However, I do need to consider really steep passages as knees not quite what they were. I’m thinking slow...

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    Oh my. This tricky equipment business is a bit much. If distance walking (including los caminos) becomes more popular (post-covid) with any luck, there may be some demand for the airlines to re-think the silliness.

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    Thanks Faye. This time around I don't have to worry as will check all deemed dangerous items. Unfortunately, I prefer regular manicure scissors but may (likely) need to factor in other options in future so this is good idea re rounded end type.

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    Question: Thinking about taking ferry to Europe from UK. Do ferry security folks conduct arduous checks with strict limitations?

    How to take trekking poles to Spain despite airline regulations...

    After considering that I have four items that could (depending on the security folks' discretion) be confiscated, I am now checking in a bag. This will now include: 1. Poo trowel - which (among other features) has a knife incorporated into one of the edges that is beyond 6 cm 2. Trekking...

    Absolutely. I too want the slow, savouring meander :)

    Travelling through Portugal summer 2021--to/from caminho walks

    Yes I heard about the seniors advantage but didn't realize that there are seemingly no restrictions! I plan to stay in Spain and/or Portugal as long as possible. My doctor friend tells me that there are rumblings of a rough virus winter ... again :(

    Have you encountered accidents on the Camino?

    I went right over my full suitcase, wheels got stuck (at 11 pm) on an Aberdeen bridge! This was more impetus for decision to be backpacker moving forward! One really needs to get used to that pack ... before things like mud, balance challenges, etc.

    Thank you for the tip! I was wondering about that with practice walking and my load! Keep 'em comin'!

    Have you encountered accidents on the Camino?

    Yikes. The reality of what can and does happen. Mishaps. Talk about the need to fully present as much as possible. Thanks for the reality check ... good to contemplate as a newbie Kanga!

    Coastal or Inland Portuguese with one week only?

    Just another point of clarification: we do not need to finish and obtain compostela... Also, are those towns on the coast? Want to search as unfamiliar with geography presently. Thanks!

    Coastal or Inland Portuguese with one week only?

    My friend and I are celebrating a 50 year friendship this year! My friend wants to meet me either in Spain or Portugal. I am departing Canada next month and hope to walk (my first camino) del Norte in September as summer heat not my thing. I have as long as I need so no hurry at all. My friend...

    This is what I am hoping for. Someone in this strand I believe suggested writing to BA and getting it in writing that they will check them for at no extra cost. (?)
