    Drying laundry while walking

    I'm pretty sure they are Bridgedales because I swear by them and that black and grey pattern is easily recognised.After much trial and error, I find that two pairs of them worn together are absolutely comfortable for me. They are also very light and quick drying so half a dozen pairs add little...

    Freaking out about pack weights

    Yes, that's probably the best way of putting it.

    Freaking out about pack weights

    "Sweet F A". The tinned meat is right but in my experience and according to impeccable internet sources,Miss Adams's name or initials are called into use as a euphemism for "f... all" more often than not. It's sad that a young girl savagely murdered should have her name memorialised at least...

    Freaking out about pack weights

    I wouldn't worry about it. You can get away with "fannying around" and the venerable "Sweet Fanny Adams" from Dover to Berwick even though the first is demonstrably sexist and the second an obvious euphemism for something naughtier. The English used to get quite a laugh from "pants" for...

    Freaking out about pack weights

    Two countries divided by a common a language as GBS,Oscar Wilde or Churchill once said, depending on which source you believe. Most English speakers are pretty familiar with the seeming howlers perpetrated in other versions of the tongue through films, books and TV and the odd unintentional...

    For those who walked in tennis shoes or trail runners...

    You shouldn't need a tent because the Camino is lined with lodging and in October/November you might find it rather cold camping in some sections. The one thing you might have to factor in is places being closed so phoning ahead at least a day in advance might be necessary. October, I assume...

    For those who walked in tennis shoes or trail runners...

    I've worn Saucony running shoes from Oloron to Pamplona because of a pre existing sore toe, North Face Hedgehogs from Pamplona to Burgos and Salomon boots from Leon to Santiago. They were all fine - no blisters and a fair level of comfort.I wore Merrells of various types before that and they all...

    Suggestions for Boots on Camino

    Mooncat, you haven't said what socks you wear. Part of my problem was definitely reduced by finding the right combination of socks and boots. Your problem sounds similar to mine in that my feet would feel okay in the mornings and then become hot, sore and painful in the last couple of hours of...

    Suggestions for Boots on Camino

    I had similar experiences to Lisa and Mooncat with Merrell shoes: no blisters but very sore feet after a couple of days.I gave up on them and switched to North Face Hedgehogs which eradicated the soreness completely. I renewed them after the waterproofing went on St Oswald's Way last year but...

    Strange issues with my Merrells, anyone else encounter this?

    I've worn Merrell gore tex walking shoes for a few years and thought that they did a job for me although I always developed sore but not blistered feet from them and other boots after two or three days walking.This year,walking from Oloron to Pamplona in September,I switched to a pair of Saucony...
