    Clothes washing?

    This is where modern fabrics come into their own - in normal life I stick to the natural materials rule, but for the Camino I raided charity shops for all the lightweight polyester hiking gear I could find. I found it well worth road-testing everything - to make sure that trousers and shirts...

    This is probably been my only real concern apart from where to pee (admirably sorted with a Whiz/Shewee plus biodegradable bag for responsible disposal of tissue if it is required). I have been blessed with a non-snoring husband, but have some champion snorers in my family (all of whom are male...
