    How important is a rock plate for CF?

    The climb out of Atapuerca has edge on strata, most uncomfortable, and rock plates or better still a hacked up milk bottle would help a lot to stop bruising.

    Sink plugs?

    A piece of plastic bag cut bigger than the hole works well, costs and weighs nothing

    Merrel MOABs

    I use them and find they have a thin insole so I now replace the Merrel insole with one that is thicker around the ball of the foot, means I have to go up a bit in sizing but it works for me. I have also on occasion cut myself some rock plates, from a variety of materials including plastic milk...

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    Try Snugpac relatively cheap, UK supplier, can be found used and then cleaned, and have worked well for me walking in late August/September/October. Not the lightest possible but not heavy.

    What's Your Go-To CF Shoe?

    You will get a vast number of suggestions here, some quite adamant that their recommendation is the holy grail, all of which work for the person recommending them but they don't have your feet. So even with these recommendations it is still trial and error and better trialed before you go. Also...

    Ass Pads - A Serious Topic!

    You will need one on those horrible plastic chairs outside cafes as your weight drops. Further details from the "Confraternity of the Bony Arse" founded in 2016 outside a bar on the Meseta.

    Body weight. Who cares?

    Does that imply you are 33?

    Body weight. Who cares?

    You are absolutely correct but it is not just the sugars it is also the huge amounts of carbohydrate in the foods you quote. These carbohydrates are very quickly converted to glucose and many are then stored as fats assisted by insulin so you don't lose weight. A diet low in carbohydrates means...

    Body weight. Who cares?

    Yep. I find it amazing that we sweat over gram differences in terms of equipment and pay vast amounts of money to reduce kit weight then we walk carrying extra kilos in body fat. It is truly amazing and a wonderful endorsement of advertising and gullibility. Having said that the camino is a...

    Camino gifts

    I listened to those who wanted or needed to talk. In particular a lady recovering from multiple suicide attempts, another who was being bullied by her walking companion, she was running to keep up and a third person who was just lonely. In return many small acts of kindness such as: In the...

    I roll them up and use a very thin cable tie.

    How light is too light? Backpack question

    It's too light when you don't have kit you need, it's too heavy when you have kit you don't need. Note need.

    Passport

    If you have a year off you have time to walk both with a credential for each. I would suggest the French way first just to "break" yourself in

    Cheap but fine equipment

    Just in passing, I walked with an elderly Spanish guy who used a hessian shopping bag containing a change of clothes, 2Lt bottle of water and a very light rain jacket. He wore shorts, a polo shirt, cotton sports socks and tennis shoes none of which was bought specifically for the camino, he just...

    What Type of Cell Phone Adapter Do I Need?

    Also take a long charging, 2/3m, cord so that you can either use your phone whilst it charges and sit in comfort and/or keep it near you. Nat all electrical outlets will be convent to your bunk.
