    Struggling with 1/2 size larger - Lone Peaks - insole recs?

    Lots of people say your feet WILL swell. Well, mine don’t. This is a very personal thing. If I went up half a size my shoes would be too big, they would then slop around and give me blisters. Do what works for YOU.

    Patches on my backpack?

    Snap! I stitched mine on.

    Merrel MOABs

    I had the same problem with Merrill Moabs and changed to Salomon.

    Considerations for buying chargers for electronics

    I bought an after market charger in Spain when my Apple one went astray. Back home it fried my iPad mini & would have burnt my camper van down if I hadn’t been there to unplug it! I only use a ‘real’ one now.

    Help me pick my pack! :)

    The one that fits you like a glove is the one for you. You’re going to be carrying it a long way.

    Women over 60 who DON'T take a sleeping bag...

    I didn’t take a sleeping bag last year on the Norte & Primitivo (June-July) and regretted it. I found myself booking private albergues as I was cold and knew that they would have blankets. The Municipal albergues in Galicia don’t have blankets.

    Advice re my packing for June Frances from Leon? Esp. from ladies! ta :-)

    Holhum, a hint from one Aussie to another: tape your charger plug to the adaptor -it’s very easy to unplug it and leave the adaptor still plugged in the wall. Something I did somewhere on the Via de la Plata. Not good.

    Water reservoir/bladder?

    To each his own. (I love my Camelbac!)😊

    Are the shoes safe outside?

    My husband’s boots were taken from the albergue in Tui many years ago. It was an innocent mistake, and he did get them back, but it made for a very stressful day. I am now very reluctant to let mine out of my sight.

    Giving away my brand new Salomons

    Too big for me & I’m in Australia but I love Salomons & I love your sentiment. XXX

    Sleeping pad?

    No.
  12. Walli Walker

    Trail runners or hiking sandals?

    Love my Teva sandals.

    Help with Lamb's Wool Questions...?

    My husband gathered some off a barbed wire fence on the Coast 2 Coast in England. Perfect.

    Bum Bag cover

    I tried a shower cap over my bumbag last year on the Via de la Plata. It may have been ‘shower proof’ but didn’t work in a deluge.

    Teva originals

    I have taken Tevas on all my Caminos (about 5 now). They are great ‘camp’ foot ware & I have walked many long days in them, with & without socks. Yes, they’re heavy, but they are worth their weight. I wouldn’t go without them.

    There are Stores in Spain

    I walked at that time and I was very glad that I had a sleeping bag. Didn't need it every night but I wouldn't walk without it.

    Are gas canisters suitable for a jetboil available readily throughout Spain?

    Thanks, everyone, for your replies. Seems to be quite a few Decathlon stores and they stock Jetboils so we should be OK. And, yes, Tincatinka, we shall be very careful. Cheers, Jacki.

    Are gas canisters suitable for a jetboil available readily throughout Spain?

    We are walking from Granada starting April '17. Will we be able to buy gas canisters on the way or should we stock up in Madrid or Granada? We are carrying a jetboil so we can have a much needed brew when bars are few and far between.

    I have the deuter futura pro 38 and love it to bits. I am a 5 foot 6 female so the 44 would suit a guy. A brilliant pack and very good price.
