3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I never found it a particularly useful feature anyway. It only showed the current location of members who are currently online. I'm more interested in know which pilgrims live in my area.
 
I remember a couple from Redding posting a year ago (at least) but that's hours from you ;)
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
They were mentioning something about landing in Mannheim (Germany) army airport so I thought they were both US Army personel. Well, maybe not. Never mind :)

But I was in Redding last autumn. Just visiting though ;)

The very first person I spoke with outside the PO in SJPP a few days ago was a man who lives in my neighborhood in Arizona!
 
Join our full-service guided tour of the Basque Country and let us pamper you!

And I was in Redding in the spring visiting my sister. It was a good visit because she (finally) said she would join me on the Camino in the fall!
The Sundial Bridge is beautiful!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The member map gave me some problems, and it sees it was not used much, so I removed it... I have some plans for a new way for finding forum members "not far from you"... but more on that later :)
That’s a wonderful idea, @ivar. The best I’ve been able to find is a three hour drive to a park that is located in between my home, @jpflavin1 and @Camino Chrissy. Maybe now we will find a huge contingent for our next Starved Rock State Park walk!

Psss. @Camino Chrissy — Joe and I have had an email about getting together this fall for a walk, let’s figure this out.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-

Sounds good Laurie...I'd love that! I should be available most any time, except for these dates...
Sept. 10-12 and October 14-27
I hope to hear of potential plans!

While it can be useful if forum members want to publish their location I hope that it will be 'opt in' rather than 'opt out'. Some times some of us do not want our location published or visible to others, even forum members, but prefer to keep it private.
Personally we have a Camigos get together where we know people from Devon, Dorset and beyond, but even then many do not give more concise details.
So - yes please @ivar, but a safeguard by default for privacy please.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Yes, it will be opt in... I try to default to as private as possible, this is why I no longer use google analytics for example. All email with me is also off google.
 
Even now my location that was shown is actually 10km from where I really live. It showed the internet knot instead of my home address because my IP number is attached to that "knot" or should I say "distribution center"? ;)
