  Never been in that situation on Camino....(people 'short' contributing) You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends ;) That is not to say I have not covered costs for other Pilgrims (in genuine need), without them needing to ask...

- BiggBlue posted the thread Splitting bills with fellow pilgrims in 🇪🇸 Camino FRANCÉS (Most popular route).
  
  Over the years on various Caminos, I've often found myself in situations where people go out for supper. When the bill arrives, some individuals only contribute the exact amount they consumed (often incorrectly). Invariably, the total collected...

  When you must walk in precipitation, Exertion will cause some perspiration, Rainwear will prevent its evaporation, Hence you will have condensation. I have found that on occasion, Adjusting some zippers relieved frustration, And allowed some...

- BiggBlue replied to the thread LIVE from the Camino MelMc walks from SJPP.
  
  The first day on the French Camino is undoubtedly the toughest single day on any Camino I have walked, including the Primitivo and the Norte. The first seven kilometres out of SJPP are steep and unexpectedly tough, especially for those who are...

  After walking a couple of times with a Deuter Guide 45+, I walked the CP with the Osprey Levity, a lightweight 65 li pack. While it had worked well on a previous winter walk in England, on the CP my load, which included my CPAP, was a little too...
