      Martyduc reacted to chinacat's post in the thread Be careful with phones. with Like Like.
      Thieves have been known to slit open the bottom of sleeping bags. This has been the case for decades. I would never stuff my valuables to the botton of my sleeping bag.

      For some years I had the same thoughts about the Frances. But I returned to walk it in January last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Totally different from a peak season journey and I found the far smaller numbers of pilgrims I did...

      Here I am speaking with no knowledge - that is allowed here on the forum, isn't it? 🤪 It might not be residue. It might be wear and tear on the wool fibers, even to the point of mild felting. Merino wool tends not to do that, but you put a lot...

      Martyduc reacted to J.Patrick's post in the thread How the Camino has changed for me with Like Like.
      In my first Camino, I walked with another priest from Porto to SdC, and I don't think we ever stopped talking. We were professors in the same graduate program, he the spiritual director and I the scripture prof. We had a lot to process, and we...

      Martyduc reacted to trecile's post in the thread Prices on Gronze for rooms with Like Like.
      Last year I booked directly with an albergue a bit after Melide. I had been looking at it on booking.com. Then the day of my booking I got one of those "are you still interested in Property X" messages, and the price had gone down to lower than...

      I’m just back from a two-part Camino. The Via Serrana from Gibraltar to Sevilla, and then the Invierno from Ponferrada. I am experiencing the standard post-camino letdown, so I thought I’d reflect a bit. I have gone from walking the more...

      I do think that timing plays a big role. It's a busy time with several holidays this month. Lots of people who have the time are on the Camino. There are less busy times to walk and I encourage you to consider coming back at one of those less...

      Martyduc reacted to trecile's post in the thread Be careful with phones. with Like Like.
      This kind of theft really doesn't happen along the Camino trail. It's more of a big city problem. On the Camino we need to be mindful of not leaving our valuables unattended in albergues, bars, and restaurants. I don't usually make phone calls...
