Camino route mid November -> mid December
I walked theSan Salvador last spring and liked it very much but don’t underestimate it. There are parts of the San Salvador where an unexpected snow could easily kill you. The route Napoleon is by comparison a piece of cake.- Gary Martin

Can you Jack Reacher the Camino??
In fact the Jack, Reacher. method and pilgrim packing, seem exactly the same. Discard your preconceived packing habits, Ignore social pressure, and just put what you really need in your pocket or in your pack. I think I remember reacher doing a ATMlsh thing with a bank account.- Gary Martin

LIVE from the Camino Camping in France
Thanks for the heads up on the European bike routes. I have never noticed these before. I have camped quite a lot hiking in Europe. I have only walked in southern France but found it very easy to camp there. I much prefer a bivy bag to a tent though. There’s a bit of a learning curve but in...- Gary Martin

US phone number for Vueling Air Lines
My favorite solution to the international calling problem is an app called WePhone. There is a cost but it’s trivial and easy to pay with an iPhone. The recipient of your call on their caller ID will see your home phone number if that’s the number you register with on the App. They’re able to...- Gary Martin

Where people feel safe to walk (at night)
Interesting. I’m exactly the opposite. The most common pedestrian hazards I hear reports of are from motor vehicles and falls. Robberies and assaults or feared but actually very uncommon in comparison. On the other hand I guess Highwinds lightning and blizzards are easier to cope with in the...- Gary Martin

Question about side paths and trespassing laws? (+mapping fun)
This has been my practice. I’ve never had a problem anywhere. The most surprising country was China. In the area that I lived If there was no fence and guard you just walked in. This included factories and construction sites. The only exception is in the United States. My country is a bit...- Gary Martin

Has anyone ever walked principally at night?
Hey I’m a bit new at this. The last time I tried reply I ended up sending two messages. I’m really intrigued with your plans. The advice you’ve collected seems to me a bit short in nuts and bolts stuff. I’ve had some experience With overnight caving and with firefighting which involves...- Gary Martin
