    What's with the big bulls on the hills?

    Oh . . . Bulls . . . I misread the post title 😉🤣

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    You're right, generally speaking. For me personally though, I have to make sure my heart rate doesn't go too high, having somehow managed to survive 2 (count'em!) cardiac arrests. I sometimes push a bit hard up hills when adrenalin overrides common sense. Despite having an all-singing/all-...

    Musical instruments on the Camino.

    Great place to practice though - all those open spaces 😉

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    I love my Garmin Fenix watch/Garmin Connect. . . . Something else I own, that most of the features on are a mystery to me. 🤣 Wouldn't leave it at home though . . .

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    It's a bit like trying to get a decent coffee from any café where I live in the UK. . . 🤣 When in Rome etc etc

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    Is that the method pilgrims used to message each other before WhatsApp 🤣

    Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take.

    Travels with my Donkey by Tim Moore is a very funny read. Autobiographical book about the author deciding that the only 'authentic' way to walk the Camino Frances, is to do it in the company of a donkey ( this is despite having no clue how to look after said donkey) I read it before my first...

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    I thought I was 'match-fit' when I started the Camino Frances back in 2016. . . Then the Pyrenees happened. . . it turned out having a bed booked at Orisson was the most important decision of the whole 6-week Camino. ( sort of blows the whole 'don't plan anything before you go' advice . . . )

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    10 hours walking a day! 😮. Wow, that's hardcore . . Respect 👍

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    I worried too much about my health in relation to the Camino. ( I had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and triple heart bypass a couple of years before my first Camino [SJPDP - Santiago]). Bizarrely, it was my heart issues that helped me discover the CF - I no longer felt comfortable doing...

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    I always tell the butler, the valet, the chauffeur AND the gardeners that I will be away . . 🤣

    Festival Anyone?

    Just a bit of a warning about the Camino Frances route into Santiago. Not sure if this has already been flagged on the site, but there is a music festival taking place on 30th May at Monte do Gozo. For those who don't know, this is about 4km outside the city on the way in if you are coming in...

    Shower/bathroom etiquette in the albergues?

    'No time' . . . 😉🤣 The Camino provides is really a thing! 🤣

    Thanks Trecile , I should be able to safely update my existing app then?

    Camino Ninja

    Hi all, I know that this has been covered before, but wondered what the current state of play is with the Camino Ninja app. Is it back to being updated again? I know other apps/websites are out there, but I just like Ninja! I'll probably use it, even if it's still in it's 'frozen' state...

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    Café owners who remove the toilet seats . . 😖 I agree, the tea in Spain is almost as bad as the coffee in the UK 🙃
