    How To Recognize a Fellow Forum Member While On Camino

    The badge is good, but you don't need it. I sat opposite a young man on the train to Waterloo (London) on Wednesday and we recognised each other as pilgrims even though I was besuited, wearing a tie and on my way to a business meeting. He was from Hungary and on his way to walk St Davids Way...

    Sleeping bag - yes or no?

    Tucking the blanket inside the liner is an excellent way to max the possibility of being bitten by or passing on your bedbugs. As a one-time hospitalero, blankets etc are only meant to supplement the pilgrim's resources, and I liked to see pilgrims to use a sleeping bag and/liner to protect...

    Shoe hallux rigidus - hallux limitus

    Actually, I'm a 72-year old man & I recently posted something similar under a thread which I called 'Arthritis' and received a couple of helpful replies (I also posted under 'The Ultimate Boot' and am grateful for the thoughtful ideas there too): "Am beginning to suffer from arthritis which...

    The Ultimate Boots ...

    But R'evolution boots (a) the new-fangled fabric type (b) 50% more expensive Scarpa GTX boots and (c) 150% the cost of new Vibram soles. And why did you need a month to break 'em in? I think I prefer Bradypus' advice.

    The Ultimate Boots ...

    I have only ever had three pairs of walking boots in 50 years of walking/climbing/peregrination, and they have always been proper ankle-high, ‘leather’ boots. The first pair (I do not remember the manufacturer) had screw-on commando soles and I used these for 20 years until the inner-soles...

    Should I Give My 2nd Pair of Boots "The Boot?"

    There certainly are a lot of weight-fascists out there. I agree that the pack should be as light as possible, and compared to my self first camino when my pack weighed 17 kg, it's now down to less than a half that. But where does this rule of '10% of body weight' come from? And has any one...

    A metaphor for life

    When I did my first Camino in 2011 and crossed the Pyrenees in April in snow, I remember my pack weighing in at the airport check-in, despite my self-deception about how much baggage I was carrying, at 17 kilos. Later this year I'm going back for my third Camino and hope to reach Santiago via...
