      I think that there is a huge disconnect between those who focus on this issue primarily as one of a woman’s right to be free from harassment and those who see it as an issue of how to best cope with the fact that whether we like it or not women...

      Martin-B replied to the thread Which footwear in April.
      Altra Olympus or Hoka speedgoat, with waterproof socks when absolutely necessary, although it's rare for me to worry about wet feet the waterproof socks are more about warmth when the waters particularly cold. I prefer thinner running socks as a...

      Another vote for bottles, just the ones you buy the water in, easily refillable, recyclable when you've finished. I carry a bottle or two on the pack and a 400/500 ml bottle on the shoulder strap for easy access, I look for bottles with a wider...

      If I end my life on the Camino, I will at least have left this life while doing something spectacular and close to my heart. Much preferred to a lonely deteriorated life in a nursing home. Not bad. JMHO and my 0.02 €. Other than that, I am of...

      I also walked from Canterbury to Rome in 2023 and it's very different to a Spanish Camino, in France there is far more solitude which I actually liked and you can occasionally spend the entire day in your own company, french villages can often...

      In balance it's not necessarily the worlds getting worse, there are far more people on the Camino these days so by definition there will be more dubious characters, simple mathematics. Though I'm often heard to say the worlds getting worse 🤬....
