    Swollen hands and fingers

    When I don't walk with my poles the same thing happens to me. I just hold my hands up and open and shut my fingers for a bit. Stretch them out and sing "open shut them, open shut them give a little clap......." (I know kids do this to you send you bit loopy)

    Security of Personal Belongings

    I've always painted a butterfly on each of my boot toes and a flower at the back. As I have huge feet for a girl my boots will more than likely only fit men and I don't think they would like them looking girly. ;)

    So I'm just gonna say it...names/photos without permission

    Oh poor you MickMac. Oh well. Just go walkabout on one of those long trails called the camino and get lost with all the rest of us pilgrims. ;)

    Baggage weight

    Gracie don't worry so much about it being only 10%of your body weight. That is a rough guide line. As long as the bag is comfortable for you to carry. Be smart only take what you need not want. It will come together and if it's too heavy when you start walking you can post stuff home. X

    Preparation for Sept/Oct

    Hahaha Dougfitz that's happened to me on the few occasions. Or sneaking off to relieve oneself only to walk back to the trail to find other pilgrims.

    Training advice.

    It is easier than training at home it think because you are not worrying about the day to day life and having to fit work in etc. Just walk. So much nicer I think. :)

    Things that I would do differently

    One thing I do is try for at least one day off on a trip and that is the day you get a hotel room or b&b so I leave my stuff there to go explore plus it's nice to have at least once a big bed and bath etc. Makes you feel so good.

    Things that I would do differently

    Wow 18kg! I only carry that kind of weight when I'm walking out bush and that's because I carry my tent, water, all the food I need etc as there are no shops or towns. Self reliant. What did you have in your pack?

    How do people adjust to home after their return from the Camino?

    For me I find it always unsettling when I return home and try to get back into the swing of reality. I do a lot of long distance hiking and sometimes it's out bush (Australia) where you might not see anyone for a while so to come back to the fast pace is hard. Also you tend to de clutter your...

    What is the most unususal sign you saw on CF?

    this was on the Del Norte.

    Walking over Easter?

    I had walked the del Norte during that time and yes places close down over the weekend. It's not to bad thought just be sure you stock up on food and water so you are not left short.

    Not so hot...

    Where are you Urban Trekker? When I train here in perth during the summer before along trek I walk early morn on the beach knee high in the water. Hard walking but keeps you cool.

    October Camino Information 2014 - Starting camino walk Sept 29th.

    I fly out of Australia on the 27th September and plan to start the walk on 29th but I'm starting from Lisbon and walking the Portuguese way. Sounds like everyone is going on the Frances route. Anyone else doing the Portugal way?

    Comfortable mens underwear

    Chafing was a concern and he hasn't had any prob with it. They are more expensive but you only need three pairs as you wash as you go. Worth the cost.

    Comfortable mens underwear

    I know I'm not male but my hubby wears fast drying sports trunks. He finds them real comfy and they dry quick for convenience.
