    Santiago To Fisterra

    Is it safe to assume the same line goes back to SDC if you manage to walk out and want a ride back (time, tired, worn out, etc)

    Tissue Paper

    It sure seems like if if you can carry TP in you can carry it out. Pretty standard stuff for any "hike" or walk or Camino. As others point out the distance between towns or services is not so vast that carrying your own garbage for an hour or two is that much to ask. As I continue my prep for...

    Tissue Paper

    And easy to find..... at least here in US. We buy biodegradable potato starch bags for our dogs waste and they last about one year before being disintegrated (after use). They cost less than a nickel each and weigh next to nothing. We see this same tissue issue on trails where we live and none...

    Tissue Paper

    Can I add that the use of fire in the woods is very dangerous and many times not legal. As I live in "fire country" I can tell you it does not take much for a fire to get out of control and then disaster and death are soon to follow. I commend your efforts and it sounds as though you are...

I took my old (bad habit of refusing to toss old shoes saved for things like painting or gardening in mud)...

    Walking Down Hills

    Maybe I am being ridiculous but if you are walking with others perhaps someone more adept at downhill can simply help you down slowly? My wife can not do down very well at all and I am often times (on local hikes, not the camino) just a step or two ahead and standing sideways I offer her my arm...

    Not getting it

    Mary, Perhaps the "not getting it" is part of the experience. It may reveal to you things you were unaware you possessed (or lacked) if you stick with it whether or not "you get it". Perhaps the "reason" for your camino has yet to reveal itself? Perhaps it already has yet you did not know it...
