    CF in september: bring rain trousers or no?

    Hmmm...perhaps not in Galicia? Equinoctial gales etc. I have rarely been colder or wetter than on the Primitivo in September, but then wheresoever I go, there is rain. That said, personally, I never bring rain trousers.

    The Camino does NOT start in StJpdP - discuss

    Very many thanks for this. I do not understand the compulsion to start at SJPdP. It is not one of the great medieval assembly points for pilgrimage. Do we blame Brierley? Why not start from Vézelay, le Puy, Paris - or anywhere? Your own front door, if you live in Europe? Why not choose a less...

    Italics or not? A question of style.

    "Bouffe" or "bof"? I assume 'bouffe." As in "la Grande ......" However, the reason I am (unusually for me) joining in is that I think convention (this is not grammatical) must be considered in conjunction with typographical usage. Too much in italics is deemed typographically "busy," and should...

    10 km or less a day, possible?

    Do you mean the Camino Francés? If so, loads of taxi possibilities. fewer on the others, but not impossible.

    AA meetings

    I don't think that's entirely what the OP meant. I think it was more seeking the support of others if there were pressures, pain and/or loneliness on the Camino.

    Dealing with a broken ankle

    Last year I had a double displaced ankle fracture with soft tissue injury and nerve damage, and it is pinned and plated. I have just walked the Magna Via Francigena across Sicily, which - although short - is quite strenuous. The ankle gave me no trouble whatsoever - my knees did though! I don't...
