  walkingstu reacted to gerardcarey's post in the thread Ziggy, Me, and Rosti to the Whiffletree. Comes Perambulation, Articulation, and Tauredunum latterly. with Like.
  
  PART 1. It was in 990AD that Pope John XV announced that Ziggy was to be appointed the 27th Archbishop of Canterbury. So, over 1000 years ago, and there had been 26 Archbishops already....Blimey. Ziggy had been educated at Glastonbury Abbey...

  walkingstu reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Split seam hiking pants, to facilitate female urination along the way with Like.
  
  I think we mods have heard from enough forum members whose opinion, like mine, is that the techniques for female urination are just not something the forum in general, and men in particular, need to talk about. I will weigh in on the prude side...

  Welcome, and may your camino be everything you need it to be. There are some things you can do to make things easier on yourself: A good whistle (in case of falls, or if you want to catch the attention of someone nearby for help). A good...

  Agree. You will be pleasantly surprised. Most likely you will make friends for life. I have. You are young and strong; you will do just fine. As an oldtimer (70), I am so pleased to see young people walking the Camino. It may be a lifechanger...

  walkingstu reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Trekking poles with Like.
  
  I'm still using the same cheap poles I bought on my 2016 Camino. They show no signs of wearing out (though the rubber or plastic tips have had to be replaced a number of times).

  walkingstu reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread Trouble with Hospitaleros with Like.
