Let me know when they get round to making motorized knees.

Anything that makes me 9% faster with a 17% energy saving is for me.

But will everyone give you the stink-eye and say you can't have a compostela??

Wow!

Hmmm... I might be able to keep up with my daughters with these!

But how much do these boots weigh when every ounce we bring counts? I would hate digging mud out of those crevices after a rainy day.

I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?
