      brian560 replied to the thread Which footwear in April.
      I got treated for tendonitis in Leon. The nurse told me not to wear my Scarpars but to wear trail runners (Spanish made of course). I've only had tendonitis while wearing boots. Not Goretex runners tend to dry themselves as you walk. and consider...

      brian560 reacted to MikeJS's post in the thread Sexual harassment on Camino routes with Like Like.
      The article mentions 5 women in 5 years when around half a million pilgrims walk the caminos each year. I expect the statistics would be worse for any european city so why highlight the camino?

      brian560 reacted to Kathor1's post in the thread EU/Schengen: How Sticky is it Really? with Like Like.

      brian560 reacted to Antonius Vaessen's post in the thread Stage 3 Via de la Plata help with Like Like.

      As a bit of a (ahem) gear list freak myself, could I have a look at yours too please.

      From memory, the train timetable from Madrid to Pamplona wasn't too friendly. I got into my hostel at 1 am

      brian560 reacted to Kathor1's post in the thread Why do pilgrims fly to Pamplona. with Like Like.
      That’s why: They don’t live in Europe; there are no direct flights to Biarritz for them; there are no direct flights from Madrid, Barcelona and Porto to Biarritz; and long-distance flights (there and back) to one of these three international...

      Look at Sealskinz socks but there are also cheaper less thicker types out there. Try Amazon. I use them bike riding. They keep your feet dryish but are not that warm hence using liners. They would be too bulky for shoes but perfect in sandals...
