    Bored walking

    I did the CF from SJPDP in 2017, walking 28 days and resting 4 days. I didn't really get bored, but I also wasn't super sad when it ended (I really enjoyed it, but I was ready for some relaxing near the beach afterwards). I found for me the rest days were really welcome, and gave me a day to...

    Norte or Primitivo in May?

    So I bit the bullet and bought a train ticket to Irún tomorrow. The weather on the Norte seems pretty dismal right now, at least on my phone, but I’m hoping it’s just all these apps reporting a little rain for an hour as. “Rainy day”. I’m not super keen on walking in the rain day after day, so...

    Norte or Primitivo in May?

    The state of alarm ends tomorrow across Spain, and with it the perimeter restrictions. The basque country asked their local courts for an extension, but it was rejected, for better or worse. So right now all options are on the table starting tomorrow. Unfortunately the weather up north on the...

    Norte or Primitivo in May?

    Hey everyone, I live in Valencia, Spain, so I'm already in Spain. The official state of alarm ends on May 9th, and my plan is to (hopefully, assuming travel restrictions ease internally) head up and do 7-10 days of one of these two hikes. I don't expect albergue's to be open yet, so I'll...

    Preparing to Walk the Camino - Top Ten Tips

    I was pretty amazed how many people on the camino had no idea how to use poles. Most of the time you'd just see someone rhythmically moving them back and force without putting any weight on them at all. Maybe for some people they just like the comfort of having them. I have a bad knee, and...

    Preparing to Walk the Camino - Top Ten Tips

    When I did the CF in 2017, despite all my efforts I still overpacked. In Pamplona I ended up leaving a lot of clothes behind as I felt my pack was too heavy. Ultimately I ended up with a pair of hiking shorts, a pair of hiking pants (that turned into shorts), a few pairs of underwear, about...
