- tjz replied to the thread What Garmin are you wearing?.
  
  It's pricey and overkill, but I love my Garmin Forerunner 965. I used a 935 before that and loved it too. My wife uses a 265S. We primarily use them for running, but they are very nice for the Camino as well - easily lasts a whole day or two...

  Walking from Bayonne to Biarritz is very straightforward, you can find directions in @Dave 's book as well as other places. From Biarritz I think you have basically 3 options: Hop the barriers after Saint-Jean-de-Luz as @trecile indicates. We...

  Hello everyone! This is just a follow to let everyone know that I have not stopped since the last post, and that all of the major bugs have been fixed. As such this tool is, I believe, ready for prime time. The majority of the issues were...

- tjz replied to the thread 2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?.
  
  If you are relatively familiar with MAD and Chamartin and not checking bags, I'd guess you have a 50+% chance with 2 hrs and 90% chance with 3 hrs. I qualify on all three of those, and I still wouldn't roll the dice on anything less than 3 hrs...

  The Journal app for iOS is built in and quite good. It pulls on what it knows of your photos and location, which helps to fill in some gaps in memory. It also has a print option but I have not tried it much.

- tjz replied to the thread Can you reserve Albergue parroquial San Juan Bautista in Grañón in advance?.
  
  We slept on the mats there in Spring 2014. It's a tie with Güemes on the Norte in Spring 2023 as our favorite communal meal and albergue experience. It was a wonderful lovely time. A comfortable night's sleep is overrated! ;)

  Just wondering @scruffy1 how your plants are doing? I only have Collard Greens and ham hocks to work with in addition to the white beans here in the Missouri Ozarks. Anyone else making a Camino reminder in your kitchen today?

  Not today but very recently. Membrillo. Goes very well with a sharp hard cheese. PS. This year's version of patxaran is also on the go in the kitchen.
