    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Hi Mannoll! Sorry I've been slow in replying. After studying Dave Whitson's excellent guidebook "The Camino Ingles and the Ruta do Mar", I was concerned about distances and availability of accomodations on the do Mar under pandemic conditions. The same concerns led me to walk the Inverno instead...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Walked my first camino at 73. Now 78 and planning 6th and 7th this year: Inglese (possibly starting from Ruta do Mar) this month, then Primitivo in August.

    Where are you in Texas? REI in San Antonio has several Camino classes yearly. Staff have all heard of the Camino, although they have more AT / PCT / camping experience. They are very helpful advising equipment choices without pushing based on any particular personal experience. There were many...

    Are you 70+ and still walking Caminos?

    Walked my first camino (SJpdP - SdC - Finistere - Muxia) in 2016 at age 73. Promises exchanged on the camino led to my first half-marathon a few months later. A personal vow made in Muxia has led to my fourth camino (Lisbon - Santiago) this year (at 75) and plans for Norte and la Plata in 2019...

    bed bug information

    One article. What I know is that they work for me. Maybe I'm just lucky and they are my "Dumbo's feather", but I still use them and share them. Davebugg, I spent some time in the same place you did. I'm eternally grateful for the lifesaving service you guys provided.

    bed bug information

    Thank you for the link. I read it, and it says exactly what I was saying. It repels them. It doesn't kill them, but either result is fine with me.

    bed bug information

    It's surprising that no one has mentioned dryer sheets. I'm wary of DEET and Permethrin. Bounce brand dryer sheets have been working for me for years. Mosquitos, bed bugs and other pests seem to avoid them. I carry a ziplock with a supply of them in my pack, pull one out and wipe down clothing...
