    LIVE from the Camino CF trip report

    Ahh great to hear things are working out for you! And way to go on the 24km, you are stronger than you knew. Just keep ticking along. And keep the updates coming, enjoyed that. buen camino

    Hydration pack or water bottles?

    I prefer the running style flasks that go in pockets on the front of my pack. They are half a litre each and I'll have a third one in my pack. It all depends on your walking style too, once I get going I can't be bothered to stop to get my bottle out, so I like my water near my mouth and sip...

    Kmart type store in pamplona

    Or any other big supermarket chain. Carrefour, Hipercor, Alcampo, Mercadonia etc. Go to google maps, choose supermarket and you'll have an idea of where they are relative to your position. (this is assuming you have google maps on your mobile device).

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Also what some other fora do is to have a pinned post as the first post with a short 101 of forum structure, common questions, and the request to use the search option (with link) or the forum tree first before posting a question. Maybe that is an option for here too? That may weed out some...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Yes, that is annoying sometimes. On the other side, when I started out here a few years ago, it was a bit overwhelming to work out how the forum structure works (even in a well structured forest you can get lost). I try to gently explain and link, and if I get frustrated I tune out. The...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Some more kindly than others. I can understand both positions. For my health and level of frustration staying kind has been consistently the way forward.

    Which Camino to choose if the CF is too crowded?

    Via de la Plata/Sanabres and continuing the Mozarabe are on my list. For me quiet and great landscapes are more important than reaching Santiago. I loved the CP, definitely quiet as it was Covid autumn and just a few people around. The Mozarabe I loved too, but that was very lonely, I never saw...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    I find this a very sad post. Let's keep this a welcoming place where people from many different backgrounds, different resources, share their knowledge of our shared interest; the many roads to Santiago. Let's respect everyone has his or her unique starting point and let's treat eachother as we...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    The one thing I have often admired about this forum is that we are generally a gentle folk. It pains me to hear people looking down (and expressing that quite strongly) on "new" people who are preparing perhaps a trip of a lifetime with their preciously saved up money and will have many...

    How does Tour de Mont Blanc compare to CF?

    You have to be reasonably fit, an average day will have you climb (in one go) a 1000m (3200ft) and a similar descent on sometimes technical single trails. That being said, if you take the time (and you will want to because the landscape and views demand many many photo stops) you can go...

    How does Tour de Mont Blanc compare to CF?

    Hi, it feels a little bit like comparing apples to eh potatoes. While both are walking routes, I'd say the similarities mostly end there. TMB is an alpine trek in the high mountains, back country with steep, technical trails and unpredictable weather. Huts will need to be reserved well in...
