    One (water) bottle to rule them all?

    “I bought a small 500ml bottle of water when I arrived and carried that and refilled it.“. I like ths solution as well! I ended up buying 2 half liter square (disposable ) waters, and just kept refilling the bottles and I always had at least one fresh one ready to go after I emptied the...

    Sunglasses

    Try on some Maui Jim’s or Oakley’s or go to REI-after all what are your eyes worth?! UV protection and glare management is NOT remotely comparable for $35-70.00. UV protection in cheap sunglasses is quite questionable. Ask an eye doctor. The good ones come WITH a hard case. Next add carabiner to...

    Trail Runners?

    I now consider trail runners a no-brainer compared to what I wore in 2021. I wore such on the Primitivo September 2023 in its entirety for 14 days ….The only change I would make is I would get high tops instead of conventional. I would’ve appreciated the extra support as I did. Roll my ankles a...

    Travel Insurance

    My experience and counsel to you is simple... you get what you pay for... when I went in 2021 I bought Allianz... not the cheapest but...... I used them again in 2023.....they are exceedingly communicative and professional... and will deliver the 'goods' in the unlikely case you need them...

    Camino del Norte advise please

    I cycled the Norte last September 23. ( www livealagom .life ). obviously I saw a lot of walkers (but Far far less than would have been on the Frances). I would say (having walked the Frances in 2021) that the Norte is much more physically demanding -whether on bike or as a walker.... you...

    Refuge Orisson vs. Auberge Borda

    Definitely stay at Borda. You’ll meet plenty of people as you go —-Lauren the host is the best of the best one of my favorite nights ever.

    Auberge Borda

    Probably one of the best Albergue I’ve ever stayed on on both Caminos and yes, it was my first night in 2021

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    That’s what I did in 2021…… I wouldn’t change a thing……..perfect daily mileages, no injuries….remember it’s your Camino! “take it and enjoy. It will be over & in the past all too quickly” stole the words out of my mouth! www livealagom .life. My Camino Frances is there

    We did it, walking part of the Frances and the all of the Primitivo as a family of 4.

    Primitivo only … then to Finsterre for the dessert! This allows necessary rest and weather days…. Don’t push it too hard with the kids! 😀….. slow it down and smell the eucalyptus!

    Celebrating my old age

    “ been walking Caminos for some time now. It's the only place I know where time slows down”. I love this thought, and find it to be true- All of this banter is very inspiring and joyful to read……I hope to finish the second half of my 2023 Camino Norte either when I turn 70 or the year before...

    Primitivo w 7-10 days on Norte

    In September I bicycled for 10 days on the Norte Hondarribia to Gihon and then walk the entire Primitivo from Oviedo. It was epic & quite challenging and fun 31 days (www.livealagom.life) all in all.

    Cycling the Meseta in 2023

    I was going to do this sept 2021. I’m glad I did not. As one who bikes a lot I believe you would miss out on a truly immersive part of whole Camino experience You Can. Do it if you want to- make it a goal

    Weighing Travel Insurance Options

    Allianz… major company 390.00. For 4500.00 estimated total trip coverage I wouldn’t shop around to save 100.00

    Descent into Molinaseca

    Yes, it was an epically (beautiful) downhill for my knees. Oofdah Descent. Clearly people have gotten hurt on this section.....However, with caution and slow speed AND walking poles.... you (all) can do it and will NOT regret this epic part of the Camino... Molinaseca is THE REWARD at the end...

    Towel - which size?

    Will the actuary in the group please do a statistical analysis of all this information on Data presented…… towel ta y’all later. Conversation became too dry for me, whatever happened to the thread on folding toothbrushes and has anyone seen Jack Reacher on the Camino?
