ArleneLaskey replied to the thread RETURN TRIP.A thousand years ago pilgrims had to walk back to their homes:) Yes, you can stay in albergues if you are walking, you are still a pilgrim. I am not sure if you mean you have 17 days after you walk in which to get to Porto, or if you are...

I might just add... I had the very good fortune of walking the Camino with ShellToucher two years ago - Cheers, Hodges! - and I can vouch for the fact that he wore it every day. Not only did he not repel other pilgrims, but he seemed to attract...

I am not interested in a trailer or pull behind or push in front device. I saw both types in 2019 and I am not interested. I have done a LOT of cycling using small and medium courier bags with the waist strap to minimize sway and movement. They...

ArleneLaskey replied to the thread Walking with a messenger bag rather than a backpack.I wouldn't recommend a typical crossbody bag, that weighs very much. I used one for a day or two when I sent my backpack ahead. It made me feel lopsided, and was annoyingly rubbing against my arm and bumping on my hip. Perhaps with something...
