    Altra trail shoes versus hiking shoes

    I just finished the CF this month. I wore Lone Peaks. I’m doing the Portuguese Coastal next year and I’ll wear the same ones.
  2. Thyme_Is_Running_Out

    Sticks and Boots

    I just finished Camino Frances last week, SJPP to SdC. I wore NEW (not broken in) Altra Lone Peaks with Injinji Toe Socks. I did not get any blisters. I met 4 women and one man with the same footwear setup. None of them had blisters either. I had 2 hotspots at the tips of 2 toes. I covered...

    Help with posting excess gear home

    I sent my “overage” to Casa Ivar from a Pamploma Correos, and picked it up when I arrived in SdC. Correos has boxes if needed too.

    Fleece in Pamplona and beyond

    Thank you. I think I will. 😃

    Fleece in Pamplona and beyond

    Thank you. That makes sense. 10 euros is a deal!

    Fleece in Pamplona and beyond

    I’ve been using one, I just thought maybe I’ve been toting it around for nothing. 😃

    Fleece in Pamplona and beyond

    Ok, that’s unfortunate because it takes up a lot of room. But then I’ve lost a bra and merino t-shirt, so maybe it’ll fit in my bag better. Phew…

    Fleece in Pamplona and beyond

    Hey veteran Pilgrims, I’m currently just east of Pamploma. I’ve been carrying a fluffy fleece zip-up with me that I didn’t even use going over the Pyrenees during Saturday’s storm. Do you think it’s something I can send ahead to Casa Ivar or do you think I’ll need it going forward. Note: I...

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    That's awesome, Bob! Thank you for the inspiring posts. I'll also be stopping at those "in-between" places.

    Skirts and wool leggings

    I start walking from St. Jean on Sept. 1st. My flight back to JFK is Nov. 3rd, so I can take some days to recover when I need to. I'll be going slow. You'll probably catch up to me! LOL

    Skirts and wool leggings

    I actually changed my mind (It's our prerogative after all) and reserved an Altus as recommended by another member. I'll pick it up when I get to St. Jean.

    Skirts and wool leggings

    @trecile I requested an Altus from the Pilgrim's shop in St. Jean! This is great! You saved me quite a bit of weight--the rain jacket and DuckBack were heavy. Thank you, thank you!

    Thank you, @trecile

    Skirts and wool leggings

    My next forum question was going to be to the women about GoGirl, SheWee, etc. LOL Do a lot of women use them? I have one but I'm on the fence about bringing it.
  15. Thyme_Is_Running_Out

    Skirts and wool leggings

    I considered the Packa too, but I was worried about the strength & durability of the fabric, so I opted for a rain jacket. Please let me know how the Packa holds up.
  16. Thyme_Is_Running_Out

    Another question from Marska ... sorry all!

    I'm walking in Sept and Oct. I am not bringing any heels. I figure it's a pilgrimage--my comfort is more important than how I look. :-) Keep checking out Crocs. I saw some at an outlet in NY that were very light. I didn't buy them because I already have my lightweight shower sandals that I...

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    Hi Mike, Yes, I've heard from several people about shipping my bag ahead. I'll have to find out more about it when I get there. I'm sure that I will take advantage of that service especially during the first week or two.

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    I've got the bra situation handled. It took some trial and error, and sleeping in all of them. But I've got 2 picked out that are comfy and light. :)

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    That is correct. A small plastic bag that holds my soap, towel, comb, change of clothes, etc.

    Altra trail shoes versus hiking shoes

    I'm wearing Altra when I start in September too. I know a woman who walked the entire Appalachian Trail in them. I figured if they're good enough for the A.P., they're good enough for the Camino.
