    Earplugs!

    I'm trying to be good and not post too much! I'm giddy because it's my first camino in 5 years!! ❤️

    Earplugs!

    I've always felt a little guilty about beeswax. I'm assuming it doesn't hurt them when it's harvested but it must be slightly distressing for the bees when they're held down and it's collected from their ears?

    Earplugs!

    Oh wow they're incredible! I think they would compliment my camino style perfectly 😃

    Earplugs!

    Morning all, just a quicky. A friend of mine suggested using earplugs in albergues. I've bought some and have been trying them for the last few weeks and so far they seem to work fine. The problem is I can never get them out of my ears in the morning so I've been using the end of my walking...

    A walking pole query

    Hi all, just a quicky .. where's the best place to grab a walking pole in Santiago? I'll buy new if need be but reusing an unwanted one feels slightly greener if there's an option. Hugs Andy

    Hoka one one torrent starting to break after 10 days

    I would take then back and get a refund.. if you are happy with the style can you not just order the same pair online? And if you are considering inserts allow for the extra few mm if you decide to get thicker ones than the ones supplied

    Pillow

    I surprised myself !! Don't worry, it won't last long 😃

    Pillow

    I use a spare t-shirt as a pillowcase. I don't like those disposable ones that most albergues supply

    Waterproof walking shoes or not for early Spring?

    Ahh, you're assuming each post would be 100% for or against? Mine was 92% for... 17% against and just over a quarter ambivalent... Never mind simple arithmetic, this is Camino mathematics!! (Phew, I think I got out of that one) 🙄 I'm still working on the poem.

    Waterproof walking shoes or not for early Spring?

    Oh dear... Dadhairday has only gone and opened a can of worms!! I predict 18 comments with a 60/40 split... Then someone will mention ponchos and there'll be 9 more comments and maybe even a small poem... Here's my input .. I used gtx trail runners... Walked through (very) shallow streams...

    Hiking Pole Modifications

    Truly awesome image!! Maybe knee cymbals would help drown out the horn?

    I don't wear socks 😂

    I've been called many things... Chick magnet is definitely not one of them... As for signing up, sure, why not.. I'm planning VDLP with Randy next spring, I'm sure he'd be ok taking turns carrying you 🙂🙂

    Best Salomon shoes for Camino Frances

    I used speedcross Vario 2 for CF and CP last year. First pair just about lasted through the CF and I instantly bought second pair for CP. The softer sole does let the occasional pebble/rock push onto the underneath of the foot but I didn't notice it very often and it was worth it to spend 99%...

    I don't wear socks 😂

    Definitely miles, there's less of them.. and the same goes for weight.. strictly kgs... 😁

    I don't wear socks 😂

    Are you suggesting my friends are just a figment of my imagination? If so why would I invent one that has sock issues? I assure you all my imaginary friends are of sound mind and they all think I'm great.. apart from Steve.. he's just a miserable bugger.

    It looks like I'm going to earn this Compostela. 😳

    First timer

    You don't need plans... Hopefully you've got some gear. (a rucksack would be a bonus) .. you can grab stuff on the way but at least be prepared for a few days until you get to a decent kit shop... (By then you'll know what you need). You'll find plenty of good advice on here as long as you...

    Inventing stuff to save you money

    I made a point of being last up and last to leave every morning. There's no danger of me staggering around at 5am.. :p

    Beware of Crocs .

    Inventing stuff to save you money

    Buy an expensive head torch? Simply gaffer tape two torches to your head. You're welcome.
