  francesbe reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian? with Haha.
  
  Vegetarianism is actually illegal in Spain but if you are discreet and prepared to cater for yourself occasionally you should be fine. 😉 As @henrythedog has said beware of tuna on salads, “sin atun” is useful, and beware of meat based stocks in...

  I went online to find that the extended shaft length of that umbrella is 20.9"/53 cm. We used a G4 Free umbrella that has a 19" shaft with the Gossamer hands-free umbrella attachment. It worked fine with the inclusion of a long velcro strip to...

  Today: “When is the best time to walk a Camino that is less crowded?”. Tomorrow: “When is the best time to walk a Camino to avoid flocks of drones?” :D:D:p:eek:

  That's for sure. The intention is fly only when there's no one else near. I'll be walking a less travelled route (Camino Viejo) and the intention is to document the new path. I filed a registration document with the aviation department of...

  francesbe reacted to MesaWalker's post in the thread Do you drop any personal restrictions on Camino? with Like.
  
  I tried a trekking umbrella on a camino and wound up not using it much. But in my sole local, pre-camino training with it on a hot, sunny day, the first person I met, a cyclist, rode by and shouted, "Hello there, Mary Poppins!" I probably...

  My training walk yesterday was from my apartment to REI. 13 mile walk that ended with standing on line for 30 minutes. I bought a packtowl. Just finished reading bad reviews of it. Eh, it's a towel. Also picked up a couple of pairs of Wright socks.

  Hello all! Just a little follow up to my post a few months back on whether it was too soon to second Camino a year after the first. The answer was a resounding no! I got a cheap flight and found myself with no reason not to go to France and try...
