    Salomon shoes and sizing up

    I went one and a half sizes up in Salomons last year ....previous Camino ten years ago I went two sizes up and had no issues. This time I developed big toe problems probably caused by pressure on descents and padding only increased the pressure. I resorted to wearing only a nylon stocking liner...

    I have full length Kathmandu merino leggings and a 3/4 Icebreaker pair as possibilites. I guess I was getting nervous that it would be really hot over the Pyrennees and non-wool shorter leggings rather than hiking trousers might help there. Pre-Camino nerves probably.

    I leave from SJPdP on 24 September, flying into Paris early next week. I have my pack largely organised however I will be walking slowly and may add additional routes since my return date is 12 November so there is likely a change in weather over that time. I will be wearing light hiking...

    Sim Card Questions

    May I post a question about Lefrench SIM? I will be in France before and after my Camino. Can see on their website they will post out their SIM free. Has anyone used this company?

    Is there any reason why I need more than 2 outfits?

    Hi Magnara Would you mind listing the gear you took for October? I'm finalising my gear and it will largely be merino too. I will be away walking various routes for around 50 days from 24 September until 12 November and really want to stay as light as possible. Thanks

    Extra cushioning in shoes

    I have been looking at the Salomon shoes and will try some this week. Do you have an opinion about Gortex or not? I think there was some debate about this.

    Extra cushioning in shoes

    I'm doubting my choice of footwear 10 weeks out from my Camino and welcome advice. Ten years ago, I walked in Asics Trail shoes Duomax two sizes bigger than usual and they were great - no blisters etc. Well...I did discover a stress fracture injury once I was home! I have bought a similar...

    Altus Poncho Observations

    So pleased to read your comments! I bought an Altus on my last Camino 10 years ago after a week of rain. I felt then that if I needed to sleep rough I could - under my own "shell!" It's definitely coming for my late September - November Camino this year however at 5'2 tall I'm swamped in it so...
