    Hiiker GPX maps are free

    I just used RideWithGPS app for the Portuguese Camino. I was able to download and bookmark each stage ahead of time. I had to create an account but it was free.

    What brand sports bra?

    I like Patagonia’s Barely bra, but I am small. I bring at least 2. I DO very much prefer a sports bra for the Camino and all hiking. No bulky band, no sweaty overly padded cups. Although beware the uniboob, for sure. And I never have to put on a “show” to get dressed. I sleep in bra and...

    Carabiners or “S” hook?

    I took carabiners and never found a use for them. Rust-proof quilting safety pins were extremely useful. And I attached a flexible gear tie to the back of my backpack and it was great, especially for securing jackets/rain poncho that were pulled off but not stowed away. Love the gear tie.
