    South West Coast Path

    I've completed it in 2005 in sections. It's a very nice walk with stunning scenery (sometime it's also possible to spot seals in the sea 😍 ), with a lot of ups and downs, but not as strenuous as an alpine walk. I can't advise much on accommodation because I've done it a long time ago and likely...

    Meals that we like to cook on Camino and when camping - Step by step recipes

    I've been watching some of your videos and I like them. There's no trendy overpriced gear, no ideology, no scientific approach, you are not patronizing or trying to beat some kind of record, but you are just enjoying yourselves in a practical, positive and down to earth way. I like that. Well...

    What is a Pilgrim/What is a Pilgrimage?

    I think that the key word in the pilgrims vs. tourists debate is “respect”. My opinion is that who chooses to walk as a "pilgrim" tends be more aware of the significance of the road walked and tends to respect everything on and around it. A "pilgrim" will have a connection with its pilgrimage...

    Has anyone ever considered a Camino "round trip"?

    My original plan was walking from Italy to Finisterre and back, but the more I look into it the more I find places I want to pass through, so a ring walk won't do it. At the moment my plan is more open and includes at least 2 points in which I'll decide once there which way to take. But I won't...

    Racial discrimination on the Camino

    Well, not quite. It didn't happen on the Camino, but I've been physically assaulted twice because I'm a [insult] white, the first time I manage to run, the second time I was trapped in my car which ended with several thousand Pounds of damages. I can't recall how many times I've been refused...

    Are most questions on here facetious??

    Not me. Half of the fun I have in a journey comes from the preparation which includes not only the gear, but also learning about the place itself, its traditions, history, geography and so on and getting myself a bit better in order to undertake a new challenge. I'm doing outdoors related...

    Certificate of distance

    Should the credentials be of the specific routes you took (i.e. Francigena, Domitia etc.) or Santiago's credential can be stamped also on non Santiago routes as long as you walk to Santiago?

    I see your point. I drink a lot and for 1/2 day walk between me and the dog we drink at least 3l of water. I carry 2 hard bottles always (for balance) and depending on the terrain/length/season I have 1 or 2 roll up bottles. They are much lighter then the rigid ones and pack small. They are in...

    This is the best I have, but can't exclude there are better bottles out there. Mine are very cheap from less than 2 euros to less than 7. The metal one and the green one are 0.75l; the transparent one 0.800l and the orange one 0.500l. They are all from Decathlon except for the orange one. For...

    When I was backpacking in Spain 20 years ago I once used disposable plastic bottles, after a sunny morning the water became undrinkable (they where in the side pokets of the pack). It tasted like chemicals. From there on only metal bottles or Nalgene style for me.
