Good tips to try to enhance the usability. I pretty much gave up on placing anything I would need to use throughout the day in them. But, I'll try a lubricant to see if that solves what was a key feature I'd hoped to use with my pack.
Being that I’m a newbie “pre-pilgrim”, as I am preparing for my first Camino this coming August, I’ve felt somewhat disheartened by all these posts about bed races, crowding, etc. To be clear, I will not back down from my intention of walking...
The shift on to other routes and other times of the year is already happening and has being happening for many years now. When I walked the Camino Frances for the first time it was the only recognised and signposted Camino route. Now the Camino...
Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1.
The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised due to the snow storm.

Also it’s not a crazy expectation for someone who volunteers...
The pilgrims office often has volunteers who speak French, German, English, Spanish - I'm sure those volunteers vary throughout the year. It's not really an unreasonable expectation.
Many ppl who live along the border are also dual language...
I don’t disagree with it either. I’m a very cautious traveler myself, but I can see someone getting in a lot of trouble because they were too confident.
However the finger wagging of me for asking a question is odd!
