Someone has accidentally taken my poles from La Cruz Fierro albergue in Foncebadon. I've been left with theirs which are an older version of mine and don't match! Would really appreciate them back if anyone realises they have them or that they have seen somebody with them. They are maroon Black...

Stick Club

So, you packed light for flying carry on only and walked your Camino. You bought a piece of wood for a couple of Euro that you thought you would ditch at the end.... But now you are strangely attached to it. It won't go in the cabin so you have to check it. But you could check in 5 or 10 for the...

Poles...a recommendation

Changing worn-down tips on Black Diamond z-poles?

Last year when I walked from Le Puy to SJPP I used a pair of Black Diamond Z-poles (which I liked very much). I forgot to carry replacement tips . I was using the rubber tips (the actual screw-in tips that come with the poles, not the rubber covers that you just push on). By the time I got to...

Pole usage from Sarria to Santiago

I would really like to take a wood hiking pole/stick but I am a little concerned with transport from the USA. I am planning on flying into Madrid then taking the train to Pamplona and starting the Camino from there. Anyone fly recently from the states with this type of situation? Any advice?
