    Hiking poles with Ryanair

    Sorry to hear this and not sure I can offer any good advice at this stage. Can you not put them inside your backpacks if you are checking them in? I decided in advance to check in my backpack with poles and bought an airporter bag to put everything in as I was getting a Ryan Air flight from...

    Water pouch and taste

    Thank you so much. Because I live in a more remote country I could only buy my Camino kit in a short space of time before leaving and never read the instructions properly. I was learning how to use it once I arrived in Spain. Not very clever but so glad I posted this on the Forum and got all...

    Water pouch and taste

    Thank you for quick reply falcon269, jerbear and jo king. My new Osprey is now filled with baking soda and lemon juice mix and I will leave it overnight and see what happens tomorrow.

    Water pouch and taste

    Chaco sandals pros and cons? (plantar fasciitis dramas)

    Thanks for your reply and I will try on EVA's when I get to shops and glad to hear they are not all narrow. I wear Madrid ordinary Birkenstock all the time so it will be interesting to see the lighter ones.

    Chaco sandals pros and cons? (plantar fasciitis dramas)

    Thanks JillGat, I will check out these options when I get to London in 2 weeks time. When you find what works for you you can stick to the plan and that's why it's so good to hear what others have done. I am certainly a novice but I hope learning fast. Enjoy your third Camino.

    Chaco sandals pros and cons? (plantar fasciitis dramas)

    Laurie, thanks for your reply and very helpful. I think i need to spend qualitytime looking at all the styles and brand's and trying them out when I go home. And also go see a podiatrist. I used to wear specially made orthotics when I was a runner but have not done so for past 12 years now. I...

    Chaco sandals pros and cons? (plantar fasciitis dramas)

    It's been helpful reading this thread on PF as I have been unsure how to best prepare for my first Camino, 18 July and Primitivo. Thanks for all the tips and its good to hear what has worked for people. I have had PF for over a year and got some plantar orthotics, airplus, about 6 months ago...
