    Looking for lightweight tent

    Budget option is Nature Hike cloud up 1 or 2 when I say budget, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than Zpacks etc, heavier but not too much and works well my real question is “is this for the Spain Camino“ ? If so, why take a tent because organised camping is sporadic and relatively expensive, wild...

    O Cebreiro not O'Cebreiro

    Read this and immediately (and somewhat worryingly) thought of …. O Cebreiro, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet When the wind comes right behind the rain. sad but then …

    An alternative system for Albergues

    I’d be happy to meet you and I’d also be the first to offer what support I could were you to feel in danger. even if that meant my carefully planned “schedule” now meant nothing I’m not offended but I attempted to actually reference the OP. you didn’t and seem to think I’m alpha male so react on...

    An alternative system for Albergues

    then don’t …. I wasn’t trying to speak for everyone on the camino. I was actually referencing the post. Nor did you mention the points on that around many of the same age range not being au fait or having apps in the first place and realistically how that would be updated by Albergues. plus, I...

    An alternative system for Albergues

    Tbh I’m on both sides …. like the positive suggestion, like apps and it’d be handy … if it could work and all pilgrims actually had capacity for an app themselves or a team of people handled it on behalf of simple lodgings and all stops did the same etc. Erm not going to happen I am ok sleeping...

    How to make the Camino more tent friendly. Ideas?

    Having managed to get across the French Le Puy route to SJPP in 3 phases between the various restrictions last year, I was both pleased and sad to be camping all of it instead of hostels. sad because of the isolation of doing it alone and not getting together much with others. pleased...

    What is rule/law on a E Bike to gain your certificate?

    Hi i think that’s probably all I can do and thanks for your words ... it’s very kind i understand or at least suspected the issue, hence the research in the first place. I’m not sure I’d want to be disturbed myself by some of the modern “rad/sick“ thrill mongers (or whatever they call things)...

    What is rule/law on a E Bike to gain your certificate?

    I have to say this whole thread has unnerved me a lot. I live half way across the French Le Puy route and have long been drawn to do this journey. I’ve helped and continue to help out pilgrims passing our way. Due to life, I have planned to complete the route from Le Puy to Saint Jean this year...
