For shame!! I picked up someone's granola bar wrapper from a pretty little village along the Valcarlos route, so I am absolved from all blame, and therefore completely guiltless.I know! The guilt! I once lost a plastic bag on the Camino and it might still be littering the countryside.
Sometimes,@KinkyOne ,you earn your forum name!Sybil, maybe you can just pinned them to your backpack with a notice (similar as here but shorter) and walk a bit slower so anyone can see it
Oh that sinking feeling. Now you are condemned to opening every conversation with a fellow peregrina with, "Are you by any chance missing a pair of knickers?"Your property has passed now through a washing machine and will not be worn again until I (hopefully) can return it to you!!!
Great title for a book both fiction and non-fiction!!!Today I stopped in Uterga and as I prepared for my shower I realised I had one pair of knickers more than I originally had packed. Counted again - 1,2,3 in the backpack, check, yes, wearing one also, check, so four pairs of knickers in total - so where did that fourth one came from???
Only possible explanation - I stole it! Two days ago from the drying rack in Zubiri ... I had to hold up the two black ones against the light to see which one was mine and which one I stole.
Dear fellow peregrina: I am sooo sorry that I stole something that belonged to you!!! I never intended to do that!!! Your property has passed now through a washing machine and will not be worn again until I (hopefully) can return it to you!!! If I don't find you again (there were many peregrinas in that albergue, so not sure about the owner) I will carry it to Santiago (without using it!) and donate it to charity.
Once again, please forgive me, I stole from you, but it wasn't intentionally, it was an accident ...
I hope you still have a very Buen Camino! SY
In this case, SY, just toss the knickers and pay it forward - do something kind for another and pray that poor pilgrim left without a pair finds a forgiving heart and understands that mistakes happen.
Ah SY, you are nearly an honorary Tinker

ha ha...yeah I managed to make it to Santiago@Mark Lee was there anything left for you to hike in?
That's one of the reasons I brought three pair. And also three pair of socks.Last April when we were walking some one I am sure by accident took a pair of my wife's knickers. So she only had the pair she was wearing to wash every day. We walked with wonderful pilgrim names Suzanne. My wife shared the story with her and they were laughing about it. Suzanne stated "I wondered why I brought 3 pairs, I'll give you one." My wife received from Suzanne a pair of Patigonias with the tags still attached. Thank you Suzanne. THE CAMINO PROVIDES !
That's one of the reasons I brought three pair.
That may not be such a bad thing, Michael. The way I see it, there's a difference between remorse (which keeps us from repeating something wrong) and guilt (the obsessive and overly-identified perseveration about that). The first is good and useful, the second is an ego-trip and a source of nothing but misery.There are things I have done in my life that reside with me and come back to haunt me when my mind wanders.
The sew-on name labels I ordered should be here soon. Anything not washable will somehow have my email address. Adhesive labels, permanent markers, name cards in a pocket...

Spanish underwear (for men at least) is quite good.So that’s where my knickers went
Has anyone actually tried to buy knickers on the camino?
It is impossible to find any that are close to what you brought from home
Been there done that
I like that. And I'll use it someday...honest mistake...
No, possibly because they were all labelled with Cash's Name Tape - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...goes-administration-140-years.html#i-a6270e56
What's a nickers???
"witches britches"???Knickers is English slang (or a euphemism) for women's underpants. AKA bloomers, granny pants, witches britches.
We are laughing indeedYou can all laugh now - one of my pairs has now disappeared between yesterday and todaySY

Is this poetic justice Sybille? Was it one of yours or the accidental one??You can all laugh now - one of my pairs has now disappeared between yesterday and todaySY
"witches britches";"witches britches"???
Thanks St.Mike, I've found it on the internet, it was just so new and somewhaT funny at the moment..."witches britches";
A very politically incorrect term to describe a woman and her underwear. (Its one of "riming slang" terms that came of the East End of London probably more than 100 years ago).

heh. I guess you never had kids in group activities like, say, swimming or band or Scouts. Mark your stuff! is the lesson learned. Everything looks the same. (Especially if there is a team swimsuit!) I marked my stuff and looked for initials on labels when grabbing things from lines. Though I can't say my stuff looked like everyone else's stuff anyway. But it's quick and easy to use a laundry pen at home before leaving to mark your stuff.Today I stopped in Uterga and as I prepared for my shower I realised I had one pair of knickers more than I originally had packed. Counted again - 1,2,3 in the backpack, check, yes, wearing one also, check, so four pairs of knickers in total - so where did that fourth one came from???

You baaad, very baaad pilgrimConfession time, I stole a sock, not a pair but a right sock, one of these with the separate big toe. I know who I stole it from too but we never met up again. I must be a hardened criminal because I still manage to sleep at nights, I don't dream of a left sock relentlessly following me looking for it's mate.
You mean you can't tell the difference? Don't ever say that to an Aussie, or a Brit, they are very touchy on the subject of Marmite vs Vegemite.Just giving Sybil some advice because she was so nice and sent me two jars of Marmite/Vegemite. That's all
Next time try a bottle of tinto, stop along the way and ask "Would you like to share a glass of wine?" What a clever way to have someone carry your stuff.Remember the olden days on the Camino, where every conversation related to feet, blisters or toenails?
Though I will say on the second day of our CF, and I hadn’t yet got my groove…I packed a brand new pair of beautiful Wright socks…into someone else’s bag.
I at least hope they had feet big enough to make use of them!
There, see? A Camino conversation about feet!
Here's an idea for a title: "The Mystery of the Nicked Knickers!"Great title for a book both fiction and non-fiction!!!
I think I’ll wait for the movie!Here's an idea for a title: "The Mystery of the Nicked Knickers!"
