    Winter - night temperatures in albergues

    I have walked a few times in Winter, including the Baztan in 2nd week of Jan where there was no heating in 2 places (there was snow and ice). I've been using a Warmpeace Viking 600, down, which is rated T-limit at -9C for men and T-comfort for women at -3, I find the comfort rating optimistic...

    Is this an old peoples walk ?

    No offense meant... but: ... with a forum name like that, and a question like that... - how come I have images of "trolls" appearing in my mind:rolleyes: You are only as old or as immature as you feel;) Your pastor probably have suggested a Pilgrimage for a reason. 'Hoping for loads of Karma...

    Oh, the Places You'll Go!

    I love this:) I have it on a playlist - and every now and again I watch it as it's good to remember that the world can be a wondrous place, and I think the video has a wonderful, whimsical quality to it♥♥♥

    Womens' issues while walking

    I really would not worry about it as there are bars/cafe's/restaurants/bakeries within a few km of each other. There is 1 stretch of about 17km with nothing, but with a bit of planning that should not be an issue. You'll find some places without toilet paper, so carrying a roll of TP is smart...

    First Aid kit for helping other pilgrims

    Seems a bit like a discussion for the sake of it... I do appreciate what David does and sort of expect that many of the people that David helps are of the "You can just borrow whatever you need from your fellow pilgrims!" that jeffnd mentioned. I'm also a qualified First aider and understand...

    I will do a talk about doing the camino, help requested

    In addition to your list and many great suggestions I would add: Fear... A lot of people seem to have feelings of fear/apprehension, and I think that is understandable. There are issues of distances between toilet facilities. Distances between albergues, bars, shops restaurants. People...

    How to be more like koilife in the kitchen

    Like others have said, cooking equipment tends to vary... In addition to stews/soups/one pot meals/pasta, I've cooked the following a couple of times when there's not been to many of us Chorizo with green beans and toasted pine nuts. Toast the nuts, slice the chorizo and fry it in some olive...

    Sending boxes of supplies

    I pack my backpack the way I normally would. Then - I pick out the bits I consider "essential" such as documents, 1 set of clean underwear, toothbrush etc - and I move this into 1 of my drypacks/packing squares. These are my essentials, the rest go in the hold... (so things like extra socks...

    1 yes you can 2 Use the office locator on the Correos/Post Office wbesite 3 It varies - depending on location Unless you're on a very strict diet due to medical reasons, there's no point in sending food. Plenty available, some sections of the Camino Frances might have less options, but there is...
