  Linda Fantillo reacted to trecile's post in the thread Experience with waterproof socks with Like.
  
  I have used waterproof socks and my last few Caminos. Combined with hiking sandals they have worked brilliantly. One issue though is that when you wash them they take a long time to dry, and can't be put into a dryer. So I wear a pair of regular...

  Linda Fantillo reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread Alternative routes and albergues that are worth it! with Like.
  
  You should still refer to Gronze and Wise Pilgrim/Buen Camino apps. No list is complete and no one is 100% regarding open/close dates of albergues. When I walk in late November/December I always call ahead if I ever have any doubt if an albergue...

  Linda Fantillo reacted to Tandem Graham's post in the thread Well, it's happened with Like.
  
  Not everyone would agree on my recommendation: why not start from Burgos and enjoy the Meseta and its wonderful monotony of big open spaces? Depending on your daily distances, you might or might not reach Santiago in three weeks, but you will...

  I can give it up anytime I want. But so far I haven't wanted to... :cool:

  You could fly into Pau (France) and walk the Camino d'Arles > Camino Aragones until Puente la Reina in two weeks. BC SY

  Linda Fantillo reacted to Juspassinthru's post in the thread Old Camino Walkers with Like.
  
  I realize that there are physical limitations which prevent us from doing…whatever. There are also limitations we impose upon ourselves or society imposes or tries to impose upon us. While Henry Ford had many flaws, he at least got this right...

  Hola @Waka you both give me a little extra confidence to my plans that start in Salamanca on May 12, 2025 to set out for Santiago. Buen Camino

  Linda Fantillo reacted to Waka's post in the thread Old Camino Walkers with Like.
  
  It's now seven weeks since I returned from doing he Frances and what a wonderful 40 days it was. I'm sure there are possible pilgrims out there that worry that they may be too old to walk the camino, but I can assure you there is no age barrier...

  Linda Fantillo reacted to PelegrinNikolai's post in the thread Spain's new law (Royal Decree 933/2021) - re personal information at lodging with Like.
  
  I'm not concerned. One of my CCs is from Wise, so I get a notification on my phone app every time money goes in or out. I'd freeze the card quickly if there were transactions happening that shouldn't be. I normally travel with a 3 different CCs...

  Linda Fantillo reacted to roving_rufus's post in the thread Outer clothing for January Camino with Like.
  
  In winter I prefer a windproof shell on most on the time. I keep my down-like jacket for evening and only wear during the day if really below zero (I had -5°c for a few days in freezing fog on VF and needed it!) . I generally have 2-3 layers at...
