    Nordic poles

    I used my Leki traveller Nordic poles on my CF Sept 2014. I took replacement paws more in case of loss than wear, I use the paws most of the time, I prefer it that way. I changed paws around Sarria, but kept the old ones, just in case. I had been regularly using the poles for several years...

    Funnels

    Thought I was the only one who struggled with that. Ho ho. I tryed 2 different designs before I did my camino, but was never reliable enough to take them with me. I think they would have been great, but only if they/I were reliable!

    What do you wear at night?

    I walked last year, Sept/Oct and wore an ultrasilver, very light Tee shirt and briefs for the first 3 weeks (washing them from time to time) then I wore merino Longjohns and long sleeved top and a gillet and a fleece and socks, in my sleeping bag with Alburgue blankets!

    Suggestions for Wide Hiking Shoes?

    Annie, back in September you wrote in your blog about buying the New Balance 1069, I wondered how you got on with them. Is the sizing the same as you were used to? I'm wondering about buying a pair, and will have to buy off the internet as no one local to me stocks them. Thank you

    I used trek and travel shampoo with conditioner. It is in a 90ml bottle with a screw cap - don't underestimate the importance of the screw cap. I used it as a body wash too, in the shower - one bottle only to take in. Lasted all the way, only a little needed. Had a couple of hotel stops when I...

    Mesh Shower Shoes - Where to get them - What to ask for?

    I think it must depend on what shoes you bring. I have v v pronated feet, weak ankles etc, so Crocs and Tevas just don't do it for me as a second pair. Ended up taking v lightweight leather Meindl mid boots and a pair of Brooks Adrenaline. These worked out great for me with the addition of the...

    Mesh Shower Shoes - Where to get them - What to ask for?

    I live in the UK and took Shower slippers from Damart £10. They were great, almost weightless, dried overnight, non slip, and made me feel better about the communal showers with blistered feet. I don't know how to creat a link to them, sorry. The only downside is that now Damart keep bombarding...

    Anyone wear a "fitness tracker" (Fitbit, Withings, FuelBand, etc)?

    Like Tia, I wore my little Omron pedometer. I like knowing how far I'd walked. Sometimes it was very useful to use it with the Brierly map and see if we were close to the next coffee stop.! I found it very encouraging and reassuring
