trecile liked pelerine's post in the thread Large umbrella instead of walking poles in Sept..

For me the advantage of the umbrella as sunshade is that without a hat my head can "breathe" and feel the slightest breeze. Plus the umbrella gives shade to the whole upper body. For years now I have been using both umbrella and trekking poles...

trecile liked Morgan Holmes's post in the thread Would you still walk the Camino if you could not access the Internet ?.

I could not go if I could not be connected to home through my own data plan. There is someone at home who depends on me in very real ways that require substantial contact. We usually walk at least once a week together for 24k or more. If I can't...

trecile liked miffy's post in the thread [DISAPPOINTED] PIL PIL HOSTEL: WORST HOSPITALITY MANNER.

I'm probably one of the noisiest people out there, but in this case, I think you should respect the rules of the hostel. No check in till check-in time and no talking after lights out. I think the rules are fair and if I was that guy, I would...

KerrieG liked jsalt's post in the thread Look Out For The Lowveld Ramblers!.

Well, that was an interesting 3 weeks :). We had our ups and downs. Some fun times. Some bed bug bites! We had to learn tolerance, living together as a group. Some adapted to life on the camino better than others. We had a few injuries. No...

davebugg liked David Tallan's post in the thread Passport.

It depends on how far apart your Caminos are. My passport is good for ten years. Oh, you meant a credencial or "pilgrim's passport". I think if your next camino is an extension of an earlier one you don't necessarily need to (depending on how...

DanielH liked marylynn's media On the way to Santo Domingo.jpg.

The fields before the entry into Santo Domingo were aglow with yellow plants - maybe mustard or canola? I like those fields in the fall in their many shades of browns, but the walk here in the spring is amazing!

KerrieG liked MichaelC's post in the thread Escargoline - donkeys for the mobility impaired.

I wanted to respond to the person who asked about doing the Camino in a wheelchair a couple days ago, but it took me awhile to find this information & now I can't find his post. There is a French organization that has trained three donkeys to...
