Can I second how good this book is in making you aware of how to avoid getting a blister and how methodical preparation is everything.
I didn’t have a blister on my Camino and I am sure that good foot, shoe and sock preparation and testing was the reason.
I have walked one Camino in 2019 when I was 54 and will be going again next April / May as the weather suits me best then. What a brilliant thing to do. You will have a blast. It might be an interesting life re-set.
I am Catholic but, as you say that isn’t particularly important. I don’t...
Thanks so very much for the advice. I will certainly put these in my pilgrim list and will try them out in April.
I will post a completed list on this group with my notes and other pilgrim’s recommendations so that you can use the up to date info for your Camino.
Buen Camino!
Doug, great to meet you. We will be leaving St Jean on the same day. Perhaps see you in town the night before or at Orisson.
I plan to head to Roncesvalles that day but I envy your decision to stay at Orisson. It’s quite a climb at the start of the Camino with legs not broken in yet and a stop...
louise, I am aiming for 20th in Santiago and to be back there from Finisterre on the 26th, but who the hell knows! If I don’t bump into you in a bar, I hope you have an excellent and blister-free Camino.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at some last night which was very helpful. It’s just possible that I will pull the members recommendations into a sheet with others from elsewhere that when it’s done can be posted to this group.
Thanks for the advice
