    Jamón Ibérico - worrying news

    The Guardian headline that has stuck in my mind is "Queen in brawl at Palace" - a reference to footballer Gerry Queen being shown a red card after an incident while playing for Crystal Palace.

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Source Gobi are the only trekking sandals I remember owning. I was so satisfied with the first pair that I have been wary of trying anything else. The first pair were bought from an outdoor store here in Galway some ten years ago. After that they were never in stock when I needed them so bought...

    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    In the 1960s a friend stopped a local on a remote road in Co. Donegal and asked, "Where will this road take me". The answer he got, "Anywhere in the world you'd like to go".

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    I found on my first Camino that walking in trekking sandals (without socks) was so much preferable to trekking shoes that I no longer carry shoes. I am on to my fourth or fifth pair of Source Gobi sandals. If I do find a hot spot I wrap a layer or two of Micropore tape around my foot. I've never...

    Hiking Poles hand luggage in Planes ?

    I don't think we have reached consensus just yet. There are two issues, one concerning Airport Security and the other concerning the airline on which you are booked to travel. You must get the poles past airport security and it is not clear if you can do that. Dublin Airport prohibits "OBJECTS...

    Music of and about the Camino

    Entering a bar/cafe in Fonfria last year we were immediately struck by the music coming from a CD player. That was out first exposure to the traditional Galician group Milladoiro - the album being played was the group's 25th anniversary compilation album, released in 2005. When we reached...

    Hiking Poles hand luggage in Planes ?

    Re: Hiking Poles hand luggage in Planes ???? It is worth reiterating, for those outside Europe who are not familiar with Ryanair, that if you are looking for low-cost air travel Ryanair is a wonderful airline.... IF YOU FOLLOW ALL THE RULES. If your carry-on bag is too large or too heavy it...
