    Winter Camino gear for the quasi-large?

    Hello all, I am in the planning stages of a Winter trek on the Camino Frances in early next year, maybe that's too abrupt, I'm not sure, I'll see how the training and the Spanish-learning go. My issue is that the high-end trek clothing, primarily the pants, all seem to stop at size...

    Walk this Way - 'Live' Camino Podcast

    My partner and I will be walking the Camino Frances from Burgos to Leon (or maybe Astorga) beginning January 3 2017. What we are planning to do is to record a podcast at the end of each day from our albergue. We had the idea just before I discovered the excellent Camino Podcast by Dave...

    Winter Camino Safety

    Hi Guys, I am planning my winter camino.. I leave in less than a month, and up until this point I was feeling very confident in going alone.. However as the date approaches quickly, as friends and family worry more, I have been looking closer into the safety of the Camino. There isn't too much...

    WHY would you do a winter camino?

    I am not asking to be flip or judgemental, and many of you experienced souls have chosen to do winter caninos. So can I ask WHY? Many albergues are closed so choices are less and farther between. Merino wool would never dry outdoors ( and in my fall experience, not even in the dryers...

    Dear fellow pilgrims; As some of you know, I'm heading for the Camino Aragones, Frances and Finisterra in November/December. I'd like to have some recommendations from the Boot Lovers (only) out there. This is not another "trainner vs boots" thread. I won't change my mind regarding the use of...

    Will Camino Frances be Busy in December?!?!

    Hi Everyone! Sorry if my thread seems bizarre or even ridiculous! But, being a holy year and with all the threads about lack of beds, tsunami-waves of pilgrims and even the "900 kept in SJPP" :); I`m starting to have second thoughts about going for the Camino Frances next winter. The current...
