    What do you wash your clothes with

    What do you wash your clothes with

    Hi @trecile - your trusted system of laundry washing has worked a treat for me ever since you first posted about it - some years ago now. The laundry detergent sheets are brilliant too - so light and more efficient than soap. I’m currently in Singapore for a few days before heading to the UK and...

    Wheelie V versus Hipstar hiking trailer

    Hi @lauraelysia - As Tom mentioned above, I’m the grateful owner of David’s MkII trailer which he adapted from a Bellelli Eco Mini cycling trailer. “His” name is Spot - here he is - All the components, including the wheels, pack down into the heavy-duty plastic cart. It’s lightweight but...

    Is this Camino clothing heresy?

    I wonder how long his boiler suit stayed white for ginniek … think of all that cigar ash! 😉

    Is this Camino clothing heresy?

    Wow, David! Shades of Damien Lewis happening here!

    Is this Camino clothing heresy?

    Depends on the shade of orange Robo! There’s a particular shade of orange that will be very attractive to the Guardia Civil, if you know what I mean … especially if there’s been a prison breakout nearby!!!

    Good option @C clearly - an additional use to that which you already have in the pack. Cheers - Jenny

    Fans on the Camino

    Hi all - No, I’m not talking about One Direction or your particular favourite band (note: mine isn’t 1D!) but I’m talking about using a fan on camino … who uses one? Last week I was in Madrid after a two-week volunteering role at the Pilgrim Office. The heat in Madrid was difficult to be...

    How do you carry the important stuff?

    I’m with @Gringazolana … the bra safe is where my spare credit card and emergency cash go. Someone would have to do a full body search to get to it! Here it is, enjoying a fabulous view over the back of the Royal Albert Hall in London on a beautiful summer evening - Ladies - buy one -...

    Ultimate Dog Repellent

    I can vouch for that henrythedog! Our Jack Russell cross, Dig - who passed away in 2012 - had the nickname Diggy Bin Laden! Oh, we’ll never stop missing him though - he was Personality Plus. Cheers to all from Oz - Jenny

    Shoes in Salamanca

    How about checking out El Corte Inglés? Their Salamanca store has a great Sports Department with a really good range of shoes. I can recommend the Brooks range - roomy toe box and substantial soles with excellent cushioning. Good luck with your search and Buen Camino on this very beautiful...

    Anyone like to borrow my trailer for Camino?

    Hi Shane - Firstly, you have a fantastic hiking trailer there. Best wishes for thousands of kilometres of happy walking on caminos in the future. Getting to your starting point, (will it be St Jean Pied de Port?), is certainly doable but will need a bit of extra planning. The dimensions of...

    New Gear

    Maybe a useful thing to do would be to call into a couple of outdoors stores - eg Decathlon - have a browse and try on some of their hiking gear, their shoes/boots and a loaded pack to, say 7 kilos, and see how you feel. Get the pack fitted if you can. This might not be possible in a Decathlon...

    Women who wear shirts.... please share

    Hi @DirtAmy - this is a really interesting thread - thank you for starting it. It’s always useful to hear about Forum members’ clothing ideas and to learn about what worked well. How about considering long-sleeve lightweight golf tops as an option? Though I’m not a golfer I like golf gear as...

    Sydney Australia - Footwear Shop out near the Airport?

    Disneyland for Caminophiles Robo! Buen Kent Street Camino! Cheers - Jenny

    Sydney Australia - Footwear Shop out near the Airport?

    Hi Robo - Long shot but maybe it’s Anaconda at Rockdale or Decathlon at Tempe, near Ikea. Warning - don’t go into Ikea! You’ll never find your way out! Why not revisit Trek & Travel in Kent Street in the city? Our feet are all different of course but the range they stock has had me be a...

    Female Wide, Big feet : Size 11 (US) mens. Still searching for the perfect walking shoes.

    Hi Salty - this is a very interesting and helpful thread. Thank you for starting it. Once I read all the posts I flipped over to a similar thread and happened to see @dreaming ’s post from last month. She wore mens wide-fitting shoes and also wrote that she found having trekking poles really...

    Womens wide feet trekking shoes

    Hi Wandalina - Perhaps consider the range of mens’ trail runners in the outdoors stores as part of your research. I understand that mens’ shoes can often be manufactured in wider fittings than the same model in womens’ fittings. Forum members who have knowledge here may be able to help. Good...
