    bed bugs

    Lifesystems permethrin spray I suspect.

    bed bugs

    I use the life systems spray. I'm a chemist and I feel that any insecticide would act as a deterrent to bugs. It may not be full proof but I would imagine they won't want to crawl over a sprayed pack or bedsheet if they can go to someone else. I use the life systems spray which I put on my...

    Was it all a dream?

    The Portuguese route is simply amazing. Do it! It stole my heart.

    walking in memories of past good times

    Janeds, this is a beautiful story, I can identify with you a lot. Thank you for sharing it with me. It means a lot.

    walking in memories of past good times

    I'm very undecided about going in just over two weeks. I think only the Frances route will have albergues open in early November, and the other routes will be too quiet with little pilgrim traffic. Someone suggested a small walking holiday instead of the Camino as things are a little sad still...

    walking in memories of past good times

    I love walking, and I make lots of great friends on Camino. I miss not walking, so when we get breaks from work, I go. But the last time I saw a yellow arrow, I was really happy, with the best company in the world. I was thinking walking and meeting new people might take my mind of things...

    walking in memories of past good times

    Thanks whistling but I'm afraid id rather have avoided the sadness. Got final word today we won't be meeting in a few weeks as planned. Life just got in the way. I'm very sad. And now I'm wondering should I skip my Camino walk in a few weeks, as the memories are really hurting. This Camino...

    walking in memories of past good times

    Interesting I arrive in Lisbon happy and content and returned home heartbroken. Still trying to figure out should I be learning something.

    walking in memories of past good times

    I really like walking and have came home from the camino Portuguese this summer, having formed a big group of great friends. I have a week off at the end of the month and would love to walk a bit more in Spain. If I don't go it will Easter before I get another chance. But, I had a very...

    Albergue Burgos March 22 2016

    I'm sorry if I'm worrying anyone but in the interests of keeping clear of bugs, I wanted to let you know I had to move albergue yesterday. I'm in carrion and got a bed in Espiritu santu albergue. Sadly, I found a live bedbug crawling under my bed, on the floor. It was definitely a bedbug. I...

    Albergue Burgos March 22 2016

    Yes . We stayed three nights in an albergue at the end. Also, I met pilgrims with badly blistered feet that had waited out for extra rest days. I'm assuming it's up to the particular place, but I find people very understanding and helpful on camino. My friend got sick whilst walking the meseta...

    Thanks for the advice! I'll trust it will all be fine, it usually is.

    Albergue Burgos March 22 2016

    Yes. I hear it's really nice. Have been on camino twice, no bugs... Bed bug sheet used, sleeping bag treated, mattress and surrounds checked before I unpack, and bags off the bed. Simple steps, but it can't hurt to keep them up. Having said all that I think it's fair to be a little reluctant...

    Albergue Burgos March 22 2016

    Flip, I'm arriving in Burgos on Thursday . Had planned to stay there! That's case de Cubo right? I hope they get it sorted, I've heard nothing but good things about that albergue. Are there any other albergues open in Burgos at this time of year?

    Suggestions for walking over the Christmas holidays please

    I'm in Ireland. I'm trying to get some info on the GR 142 in Andalusia, Spain. I see it's only 90 miles, so as I've 8 days off post Christmas I think I could complete it. But I can't find any sites detailing a route clearly. Also I'm trying to figure out if I fly into Malaga , how I can get to...

    Suggestions for walking over the Christmas holidays please

    I like to spend some time with my family just before and on Christmas but I find the 12 days holidays we get from work quite a long to time sit around at home once Christmas Day has passed. I've searched around online but it's quite difficult get ideas. Im looking for ideas for a 8-10 day walk...

    Grañon hipplie place July 15 2015

    Yup, we used the bed bug sheets this summer. No bug problems, so I'll be using it again.
