Bras for " curvy " girls
Hi Spagirl, even though the sports bra's do take longer to dry I did feel they were worth it. The best thing about sports bra's are not just the bounce protection but they are designed to not have any of those weird underwire rubbing spots. My sports bra's still have underwire but I didn't have...- Jen Marsden

Where to get my SIM...on Camino Francés???
I bought one from Orange in Pamplona. You will need ID and while it sounds confusing, I got a postpaid monthly setup which gave me 2Gb a month from memory. I just topped up the data using an online service like recharge.com It was super easy and very affordable. This is a link to the France...- Jen Marsden

To sleeping bag or not to sleeping bag?
Take the sleeping bag! A super lightweight one will be enough but you can spend more than a few nights at higher altitudes and it can get cold. I started 9th September 2016 and initially didn't have a sleeping bag and that very first night in Roncesvelles I was sorry. I had a thermal liner and...- Jen Marsden

Who Has Used iPhone app "Wise Pilgrim Guide"
We used it last year and loved it. We used it in conjunction with another app and totally avoided the Brierly stages. All the best for your Camino.- Jen Marsden

Shoes for the wider feet
Shoes are so personal, but I've just done it (4 days to go) in Hoka One One's 2E fitting with no trouble at all. Well aside from a small spate of blisters after some repetitive downhill. Good luck. If you can, walk 20K's and then go in to try them on late in the day to repeat the condition you...- Jen Marsden

NOOK ? yes or no
I'm going to go against popular opinion and say take it. If you read at home, you will read on the trail I would imagine, and don't forget sometimes you may just need an hour of "me" time and that reader will be a godsend. The weight of one small item is not going to make or break you but...- Jen Marsden

Please... Seriously Need Shoe Help
Hey Cher, that's actually the whole principle behind the Hoka's. They are super high cushioned mid sole which relieves a myriad of foot problems. The shape is to make you walk how you should rather than how you do. They won't be for everyone I'm sure, however I stuck with it and after a few...- Jen Marsden

Please... Seriously Need Shoe Help
Hi Les, I can sympathise as I also have challenges. I have very wide feet especially for a woman, have broken both ankles, ruptured an achillies last year and battled planta fasciitis for about 3 years - so trust me when I say - YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY with the shoes you buy. I have never been able...- Jen Marsden
