    please, help me to decide....sandals?

    Hi I did the camino, SJPP to Santiago between March and May. I would not consider anything else but boots with good ankle support. Much of the terrain is extremely uneven and there can also be very stony surfaces which suprisingly makes walking difficult. As for rain and mud, much easier...

    pillows

    I have great difficulty sleeping without a pillow. Are there pillows in the refugios along the Camino? If not, does anyone know of a good, lightweight travel pillow. I am trying to avoid the blow up kind as I have not liked these in the past. Renata

    walking sticks

    walking sticks

    sticks and compasses Thanks Sil, Interesting and unique looking sticks. I sort of like the idea of simply 'finding' one at the beginning of the trail. A bit of tree from the trail. But these handmade ones look quite special too. As for the compass, I have read many equipment lists...

    walking sticks

    I like the idea of finding a lovely piece of wood at the beginning of the Camino to use as a walking stick. But what are the chances of this? Maybe everyone entertains this idea and all sticks are found at the end of the Camino!!!. Otherwise, would I be better off puchasing a telescoping...

    compass?

    Is a compass recommended/essential on the Camino? I've never used one and not even sure I know how too. Is it required? Renata
