    bed bugs 2013

    I just completed my FULL camino from SJPDP. In nearly every case, plastic mattress covers and other measures were being used to prevent bugs. I had no issues. Looks like they are on top of it. The exception was SAMOS. It looked like everything was dirty and not washed for 5 years. Glad we kept...

    how much weight did you lose on your Camino?

    This thread is a bit old, however, I lost 10kg by Burgos. I decided I would carry at least 10kg minimum in my pack. My friends had what I called a pussy pack and sent gear on each day. They didn't lose much. They wished they carried more now :) lol, too late. I also gained a lot of muscle which...

    bed bugs 2013

    I posted here before I walked the camino, I fall into bed. I must admit I am leaving the bed bug care and checking to the vigilant care takers. After looking up the subject in detail, it would seem you have just as high a chance in the USA. It's a worldwide problem.

    GPS trek of low route from orisson

    If you have the valcaros rout, that would be great. At least i could join up with that one. If the weather is rainy but not dangerous, at least i will know i am heading in the right direction and not worrying about missing the signs. Bad weather is one thing, getting lost is another. I llve...

    Hi all, I am leaving SJPDP on the 13th April. I am staying at Orisson on the 13th night. Incase the weather turns bad, does anyone have a gpx trak for an alternative to Roncevalles via a lower road. I hear there is a short cut just past Orisson. I could use google earth but this may not be a...

    bed bugs 2013

    I start my Camino on the 12th April. If I don't get blisters, thirsty or bitten by bed bugs, I will feel like I have missed out. Since the bugs are attracted to CO2, I will sleep next to a mouth breather. :)

    Need GPS Suggestions

    This is an old thread. I was looking on youtube, and saw that so many people have gotten lost. Yes there are markers, however, I saw one guy who even recorded his last will and testament on his phone last year. Geo caching is fun as well. I have only tried this twice, but it was fun. I ormally...

    bed bugs 2013

    I like a bit more overhang myself. I make my own. I use an extra large sarong type material and use chemicals. As I am not laying directly on it, I am not worried. I dilute the concentration as I make a new one each time for other locations. The Camino is not the only place in the world with...

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    I still cant find this on Google earth. Do you know where this is. It was mentioned above and all i can see is an industrial type building at the end of the bridge. It may have been a camera angle or something. For what it's worth, I agree 100% with your take on the film. I have seen it about...
