Tandem Graham reacted to Electric Sparrow's post in the thread Easter 2025 is route open as normal? with
Like.
Hey - I didn't think/mean the route was brand new but the route is brand new to me & my feet. Rather than repeating the last 100km of CF, esp if we get to do the CF in full SJPP-SDC one day (romantic thought) -
Tandem Graham replied to the thread Easter 2025 is route open as normal?.The Camino Ingles in Spain is by no means 'brand new'! Some of the UK components, such as the St James Way in Berkshire/Hampshire have only recently been officially designated as Camino Ingles, but the Camino Ingles in Spain has mediaeval...

The Bondis do have more cushioning, but their soles are not as durable as the calderas. My calderas have stood up really well on the rocky trails in Arizona, so they should last longer on Camino trails than my Hoka Stinson did. I do a lot of...

I will wear the Bondis mostly on asphalt, and the Calderas on trail. I have always found that when walking long distances, a change in footwear is as good as a rest. Your shoes will also last longer if they are not worn for long distances every...

I know Hokas are the go-to brand for the Camino, but I wouldn’t rule out other trailrunners. The Speedgoats didn’t suit me at all, ended up going with Brooks Cascadias which were perfect. They’re still fine after the Portuguese, will use them for...

I walked the Via Augusta from Cadiz to Seville, the VDLP from Seville to Astorga and the Frances into Santiago 3 years ago. I wore the Hoka Stinson model. They were totally thrashed after 1300 km, but they made it. I am planning to do the...

Tandem Graham replied to the thread Boots or Hokas.Yes. They're very grippy, particularly on greasy and slimey/muddy surfaces. But that grippiness seems to be at the expense of durability - the lugs wear down quickly.

Tandem Graham reacted to XtineMac's post in the thread Hadrians Wall - any advice, tips or recommended resources? with Like.
I walked the full route from Bowness on the coast to the coast outside Newcastle - west to east - in 2019. No part was boring! There are earthworks/ditches in the early parts and I loved every mile. I used a local walking company to secure my...

Tandem Graham replied to the thread Boots or Hokas.A couple of thoughts: I wear Speedgoats to run in, and on a recent 1000 mile camino hike (Geneva/Le Puy/del Norte), chose a new pair when my existing (non-Hoka) shoes gave up after 600 miles. I new that I wouldn't need to wear them in, and...

Tandem Graham reacted to timr's post in the thread Via Francigena - Southwark Cathedral -to- Basilica di San Pietro with Like.
Hello @telephony and welcome. I would agree completely with what @lovingkindness says. I walked in 2018 and indeed there often appears to be little accommodation in France. But it somehow emerges! Mairie and tourist office very very helpful...
