    Ordering new Meindl hiking shoes

    If your shoes are not beyond repair, you might try a reparador de botas de montaña in Salamanca. Reparación de Calzado Paco for instance has lots of pictures of new vibram soles on hiking shoes. Address: P.º del Rollo, 95, 37003 Salamanca.

    Do I take a tent

    You may of course take a tent. But what is the plan with the tent? Wild camping? Camping on regular campsites? How will you find them and how will you get there? You do not mention your daughter's age. Maybe you are travelling in August because of the school holidays? If not, given your wishes...

    Using a blanket as a jacket on a cold day

    When all else fails, buy a newspaper and put it between your windbreaker and your shirt. Thin layers of paper will insulate very well.

    Wheelie V versus Hipstar hiking trailer

    Radical Design offers the option to rent the Wheelie Cargo V before you decide to buy it ~ or not. Like David, getting on the train would not be on top of the list of my concerns. I would pay particular attention to two things: ease of walking with the wheelie and comfort for the dog. Can she...

    Cool and fun tools (gift for mom)

    Maybe the tiny Esbit burner? It folds up flat like a credit card. Add a package of Esbit fuel tablets. Plus a metal cup to make tea or soup. Available at dump stores or army dumps - these are great places for inspiration and survival cuisine. For instance...

    Pilgrims with severe balance problems: how do you manage?

    Here's the blog of Manel Flores. He suffers from ataxia and travelled the Mozárabe from north of Córdoba to SdC by trike this summer. A trike that was especially adapted for him. https://porlaataxianomerindo.com/

    Pilgrims with severe balance problems: how do you manage?

    I would recommend - if you haven't done so already- that you try out a few tricycles before you buy, rent or borrow one and see what the experience brings you. If you feel at ease and happy on a tricycle, new ideas may come to you. And even new Caminos.

    Seized pack zips

    if the cause is corrosion, try vinegar. works on metal, not on plastic.

    Jeans on the camino

    A while ago, the 'thing' with jeans was that you should never wash them. Instead, put them in the freezer for a night (or two) to kill the germs and refresh the fabric. Wasn't a Camino 'thing', if I remember well, more like something from Silicon Valley and other office-cultures and I am not...

    1st Time over Xmas week +2 Irish teen boys

    If you like walking in wind, rain and storm, why not stay in Ireland? At least you will have enough dry clothes at hand. The kids will no doubt love it.
