I am considering undertaking next years Comino Frances on a Pogo Stick. I was wondering on the following counts:
Has anyone had experience they could share on this mode of transport.
Would it contradict the much discussed Camino Code
How would I transport my post cathole gems until I reach sanctuary

I am also greatly confused. Assuming you using the pogo stick to make catholes, why would you need to transport the gems?How would I transport my post cathole gems until I reach sanctuary
Allthough there is no written code I think you should consideration taking your pogostick elsewhere. For practical reasons, allready mentioned by others but also for more principal reasons. I am not a "purist" but I would feel irritation if somebody passes me by jumping up and down and ruining the path. I get the feeling that this is another example of "trying to do a new thing, to be original" If you're looking for a challenging trip on your pogostick then there are many other possibilities, though that would be more of a solotrip.I am considering undertaking next years Comino Frances on a Pogo Stick.

Your backpack looks great!
I had a friend who was very excited to consider taking her (very high-quality, durable, etc.) scooter-type contraption on Camino Frances some time ago.
She ended up hardly using it, after realizing that the terrain actually includes a lot of ups and downs, mud, rough track here and there, etc.
Walking the Camino is going to be adventure enough. Do you really want to call attention to yourself boinging up and down? Although it would not break code per se I think it would be antithetical to a humble walk. Just my opinion, and you are welcome to completely ignore it or just consider it.

Exactly!! This one is more - outside the square than the person who wanted to skate the camino.One question... Why?

Not sure about it, but I think there will soon be a how-to video for the in-line skate part.
that actually kinda looks like fun assuming you don't get run over by a big rig truck or something....Watch this space :
Perhaps you and the inline skater could join forces.....and see how you keep up with each other.I am considering undertaking next years Comino Frances on a Pogo Stick. I was wondering on the following counts:

One question... Why?
Does anyone know which camino might have sufficient tree cover?
In order to avoid the problem of blisters on my feet, I am contemplating doing the camino by swinging from tree to tree.
Could I still get a Compostela?

If you are a high jumper I recommend you do not wear a kilt.
I think the men in white coats would have you in their sights if you tried that one.Although the pogo stick idea is dead I *would* love to see someone Prancercise down the Camino. No wheels, just feet, yet such springy feet!
I think I might have been behind a group of these prancers once. They all wore head phones and were walking(?) a bit erratically.Although the pogo stick idea is dead I *would* love to see someone Prancercise down the Camino. No wheels, just feet, yet such springy feet!

It could be a bit of a problem if she happens to hit the trail right after one of those herds of sheep or cattle has passed. But I guess she could have a rubber suitAs yet we have not been asked about rolling the Camino. Perhaps someone will be inspired by Pat Mullins:
...
Still done in Mexico at the Villa to pray the Virgen de Guadalupe and here at home in Montreal, where people go up the 300 steps to the Oratoire St-Joseph also on their knees.I did a walk in Tibet. Some of the pilgrims in Lhasa did a pilgrimage on their knees ...

Haha Great Kanga!!!As yet we have not been asked about rolling the Camino. Perhaps someone will be inspired by Pat Mullins:
Horror clowns ?I think I read somewhere that there is a requirement to be using a yo-yo at the same time as the pogo stick. It may go back to the clown laws of the middle ages. Or it may be a more modern three Stooges custom.
And shouting I am Tarzan, you Jane ?In order to avoid the problem of blisters on my feet, I am contemplating doing the camino by swinging from tree to tree.

And then you have to walk yetI really think you would have to decide which brand to choose, as some are much better than others . . . . a bit like i-pads really. Quality is very important. If your pogo-stick broke, and bounced off into oblivion after a few days, it might be quite difficult to purchase another one in Spain. Just my opinion . . . .

Oh my goodness, I don't think I will even consider doing Prancercise - it seems to give some serious camel toe issues.... not really my style but I guess each to his or her own.Although the pogo stick idea is dead I *would* love to see someone Prancercise down the Camino.

Kanga, can you save us?
and bouncing is what Tiggers do best".
In the sixtees ( we are getting old ha ha) there was a movie about "flubber". Stick the "flubber" underneath the soles of your shoes and jump high.More important than any of that ... can you carry your pogo stick as onboard aircraft luggage or must you check it? Will Ryan Air take it away from you at the Compostela airport? If you cannot transport your pogo stick, are pogo sticks available at your Camino departure destination? Will Ivar be willing to accept a pre shipment of a pogo stick? Are pogo sticks really a necessity? What kind of pogo stick should you use? Can you bring your pogo stick to your bunk with you or do you have to leave it in the bins in front? If you have to leave it, how frequently are they stolen? Is it legit to pogo stick your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night or should you just walk with your hiking headlight on at full power? Should you get a pogo stick with or without water bottle attachments? Does it need a bell? Should you carry your shell on the pogo stick or on your backpack? Are pogo stickers allowed to have shells? Can you have your pogo stick blessed at pilgrim's masses along the way? Should the pogo stick be carbon fiber, bamboo, metal, wood? How do you avoid pogo stick blisters? Will you be attacked by dogs when you pogo stick? Will the pogo stick be a good barrier between you and a dog? Are there special attachments for the pogo stick at the business end for rocks, hills, sand, mud, snow, ice? Where can these be obtained? Should you pogo stick in the rain and if so is a poncho or rain jacket better? Are there places to get a pogo stick repaired along the route? And probably most importantly - can a pogo stick carry bedbugs?
So you can see, there are many considerations to the use of a pogo stick. These should all be worked out before you leave so that your camino can be most enjoyable for you.
Forward your pack everyday !I was thinking about walking while hula hooping, but I realized that my hip belt would get in the way, so I had to abandon that dream.

So glad you posted that!Perhaps it is time that we seek advice from an official agency, The Ministry of Silly Walks.

Very Good Kanga. This has the potential to become the next big Australian contribution to the Olympic Games!As yet we have not been asked about rolling the Camino. Perhaps someone will be inspired by Pat Mullins:
