  EmCeeEm reacted to sillydoll's post in the thread Doing the Camino by bus and taxi with Like.
  
  On my first day from Logrono to Navarette I tripped on my Altus and fell backwards, breaking my left arm. The camera in my right hand survived the fall and I didn't get the photo I was trying to take! I went to the San Pedro hospital in Logrono...

  EmCeeEm replied to the thread 56 y/o, traveling alone & so nervous.
  
  Hi, Michele56! I get your nervousness. I'm a bit older than you, and I'm flying into Madrid on 9/14 solo, too, then will head to the town of Segovia the next day (to do some research) before taking the train to Pamplona where I start walking on...

  EmCeeEm replied to the thread LIVE from the Camino Between Sarria and Portomarin.
  
  Reading all of the above, and being only 18 days and 12 hours away from boarding the plane for my first Camino, I'm beginning to worry...! I'll be hitting Sarria second week of October. "Rivers of tour buses" -- oh, groan! Anyway, good to know...

  No issue here, all good and happy for me 🙂 Thank you so much for the sentiment; i could have cheated and not disclose I took a taxi but I'm happy with my Franciscan certificate 🥰 I know how much I walked and for me that's enough, I appreciate...

  EmCeeEm reacted to Jakesheridan's post in the thread I just walked the Frances. Here's what I learned. with Like.
  
  I sure hope you clicked on this because you're set to hike, because the Camino Frances -- which I finished last Sunday -- proved to be one of the most valuable, special experiences of my life. I looked a bit at this forum before I hiked and got...

  EmCeeEm reacted to Ungawawa's post in the thread Got limited Camino time? Leave out the last 110km! with Like.
  
  Think you're steering the thread off in a different direction here. My comments aren't about who is the true pilgrim, or even the fact that I disliked the crowds. I had all the time I needed to do my Camino, so it wasn't much of an issue, but if...

  EmCeeEm reacted to cher99840's post in the thread "Lock Laces" (Elastic No Tie Shoelaces) with Like.
  
  Similar laces are on my Keen sandals and they work well. Walked part of the way in them. I don't think they offer as much support as regular laces tho. I personalized my Merrills by having two different color of shoelaces. One was red and the...

  EmCeeEm reacted to Derrybiketours's post in the thread What to do with aggressive dogs with Like.
  
  I walked the France without seeing many aggressive dogs and when I completed I walked the Portuguese Coastal route from Porto and in Northern Portugal aggressive barking dogs where more common. One of them came at me but I adopted the raised...

  EmCeeEm reacted to Deleted member 67185's post in the thread What to do with aggressive dogs with Like.
  
  Defensively, trekking poles have worked for me to keep a snapping dog from getting close enough to attack. I used it to act as a barrier, not as a flail, keeping the pointy end to the dog and staying oriented toward him as I calmly backed away...

  EmCeeEm reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Organizing tech & electronics gear with Like.
  
  @MARSKA I was impressed that you were planning to pack condoms. I kinda gave up on random sexual encounters way before my first Camino but thought go peregrina! Then I noted the tech reference and thought oh well....
