Getwood replied to the thread Apparently to this group 60 is the new 40!.I had to take a bus from Logroño to Barcelona when I aborted my walk, and can confirm. Booked online using my smartphone and the bus company's own app. 6-hour ride, but quite comfortable and with one 30-min comfort stop along the way for food... -
Getwood replied to the thread Waterproof hiking shoes/boots?.No specific recommendations for boots, since there seems to be contradictory information re: Goretex versus non-Goretex (for example), but one thing I haven't seen mentioned on these forums is the use of antiperspirant on the soles of your feet...

Getwood replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.Nah, it's Brave browser on my PC. The change happened during Robo's re-quoting of my post -- mebbe he did the quote on a smartphone with DeepL or somesuch. Or mebbe the forum software's just messing with us. ;-)

Like.
my advice is to use the Camino guides as just that. A guide. During training you will get a sense of how far to walk a day. The first week is a breaking in period, but also a beautiful journey that should not be rushed. We took an extra day... -

Getwood replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.Well, I'm certainly aware that the Napoleon route is not "required" (nor is the Valcarlos, for that matter — ask any Spaniard, and they'll probably tell you that the CF starts in Roncesvalles, and then they might ask you why you aren't just...

Getwood replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.Start date was the 12th of September. The weather was unusually cold and wet in and around SJPdP, and a few days before I arrived, sections of the Somport Pass (about 60km east of SJPdP and also part of the traditional Camino routes, though not...

Getwood replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.I had in fact tried to book either of those places, but t'was not to be ("no room at the inn"). My suspicion is that the best "guard against failure" option is to hike the first day to The Virgin (about 12km up the mountain, and still on a...

Getwood replied to the thread How many days off did you take on the CF?.I came nowhere near completing the CF, even though I'm in reasonable shape for my age (66), a life-long weight-trainer and had spent months training on hills etc. I had to bail by Logroño, 7 days in. Unexpected, adverse weather in the earliest...
