      I am a big fan of these. Come in different sizes. Drybags. https://www.karrimor.com/karrimor-waterproof-dry-bag-784313#colcode=78431305

      Paul.W reacted to Colette Z's post in the thread More on my Via Francigena with Like Like.
      I didn’t anticipate so many questions about my VF. Given I’ve only been home 1 month after being away a total of 7 months, then Christmas I’d ask that you give me a couple more weeks to post a summary of my stages, accommodations, daily distances...

      Ah, General Melchett ... this quote reminded me of the cunning plans. Perhaps even the cunning plans for Sarria to Santiago? For those in the know: Bla.: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan. Bal.: Is it as cunning as a fox what...

      To quote General Melchett... "I knew a Major who got pooh-poohed. Made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! 'Cos it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of...

      Paul.W reacted to Rita Flower's post in the thread Pooh Poohed Camino Advice with Like Like.
      My thoughts - it’s often about the language we use. For example the word ‘should’ as in “you should be able to ,,,,” My Camino earlier this year I was surprised that I was more tired in the last 100 km than any kms before - I even used bag...

      Well, duh, they know it because they read it on social media, like on this forum or on Facebook. Reading much about Camino pilgrimage in books and blogs, watching Camino movies and Camino YouTube videos, before you even have set foot on French...

      OP, I just don't understand why you seem offended that people don't take your advice. Advice is just that, something you give and something that people take or ignore, as they choose. The advice from participants on this forum is wonderful...

      Paul.W reacted to VNwalking's post in the thread BBC Podcast About Pilgrimage with Like Like.
      Over the New Year holiday I listened to this very nicely done podcast from the BBC about medieval pilgrimage. It was amusing to realize how completely familiar the medieval debates around pilgrimage were. Without the mods here, we'd likely be...

      Paul.W reacted to Colette Z's post in the thread Amazing Via Francigena with Like Like.
      I walked the Via Francigena alone from Canterbury to Rome starting July 30/24 arriving Nov 16/24 at St. Peter’s Basilica. I walked 102 days and took 8 rest days. I have dual citizenship so was very fortunately not restrained by the 90 Schengen...

      Paul.W reacted to Damien Reynolds's post in the thread Pooh Poohed Camino Advice with Like Like.
      My interpretation of "powering through" the last 100km (I think it is actually like 113km) from Sarria... I too wondered what the OP meant. First time I read it I was like, "whoa did that guy walk straight through without stopping? That would...
