    Changing horses in the middle of the Camino

However, I did have to replace a too-light jacket with a warmer pile one in Leon. Adjusting on the...

    How to get the hang of trekking poles?

    Just like the Nike commercials used to say, "just do it." Swing your arms naturally like you are walking sans poles. The rhythm comes with use. Use them to brake going downhill and to help pull up on sharp inclines. Nothing to it. Buen Camino.

    Phone usage

    How about electronic converters/adapters. Do I need a converter or will a simple adapter suffice for recharging my iPhone? (I am from the U.S.)

    Thoughts on photography and camera selection for the Camino

    I just turned 68 and can, through the photos that I took with my old Nikon SLRs, relive the pleasures and awesome sites that I was privileged to see when rafting Hells Canyon or the Grand Canyon, or backpacking in the Rockies, the Appalachian Trail, or a myriad of other excursions. However...

    Thoughts on photography and camera selection for the Camino

    Just got a copy of Pro HDR for my iPhone and love it. Thanx for the tip. Plan to use it and a small Nikon Coolpix on my April/May Camino.

    What to bring in backpack

    Thanks so much for sharing your list. Even though I'm an old and very experienced backpacker, it's always interesting to learn from another's experience. I plan to hike the Camino next May and plan to utilize many of your insights. I found the suggested electrolyte replacement especially...
