Ultimate Dog Repellent
I walked the Portuguese Camino last autumn and I was pleasantly surprised to find at the end that I didn't have one incident with a potentially vicious dog One or two of them barked at me from a distance from their garden but none of them charged towards me or caused me a moments concern. I was...- John Cook

My buff has been so necessary!
Mine is invaluable when I'm walking on a dusty dirt track and a vehicle drives by. I keep it around the strap of my rucksack so it's handy to shield my mouth and nose through the resulting dust cloud. I've never thought about using it in place of a towel so I'll remember that when I walk my next...- John Cook

Ultimate Dog Repellent
By the time I'd finished walking the VdlP last month I grew to hate dogs. I saw a few very well trained guard dogs, two even quietly followed me from a distance, until I'd passed their protected areas but I met so many more seemingly vicious ones.

As the municipal albergue in Deba was closed I had to walk a further 7 kms to the next (private) albergue and that was fully booked but I was offered a bed in their garage. I had proper sheets, 4 pillows...- John Cook

Can I use a liner only?
I had to use private albergues for the first 4 weeks as the municipal albergues were closed due to COVID. I was told the councils didn't want to risk their staff's health. Virtually all of them after Irun had signs up saying 'No sleeping bags'. I did stay in hotels too, as the distances between...- John Cook

Can I use a liner only?
Things are obviously different on the Frances compared to the Norte. I've just reached Santiago and throughout the entire Norte I was only allowed to use a sleeping bag three times. Liners were allowed, just as well as I was only given a bottom sheet with a blanket. I never understood why a...- John Cook
