      Bob Howard replied to the thread Mud and my Angel.
      There were a number of Pilgrim mishaps yesterday on the last few kms into Zubiri. I spoke with a woman at dinner in Zubiri last night. She was about 2 kms from Zubiri when the storm hit at about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. She reached a point when...

      Been raining between Zubiri and Pamplona. Thunder and lightening with hail this afternoon (the 19th). The already difficult last few kms into Zubiri (after the food truck) was brutal. Did not take any falls but came damn close several times.

      Oh, sorry. I thought Peterexpatkiwi was referring to this one, which to me is one the great Camino iconic scenes. I am also intrigued about where the sprawling big while house is.

      I think he might be referring to the house on the hill amid the vineyards a couple kms before Villafranca del Bierzo.

      Bob Howard replied to the thread Backpack size.
      I have used a 24L Osprey for two previous caminos and will be using it again starting next week. On the two previous Caminos before the 24L, I had a Gregory 36. I have only walked in May-September. So, no sleeping bag. In each of the two Caminos...

      Bob Howard reacted to Rebekah Scott's post in the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta with Like Like.

      Bob Howard reacted to lovelyshell's post in the thread Social anxiety on the camimo with Like Like.

      Bob Howard replied to the thread Finisterre in rain.
      It appears you will just be in SDC one night. Irrespective of the pull to visit Finisterre or Muxia, one night in SDC is not enough.

      "Crowds". Four full Caminos and a partial (Leon to Sarria) and I never saw the much hyped and dreaded conga line which has become conventional albeit misguided wisdom on our Forum. To the extent that there are more people between Sarria and SDC...

      Bob Howard replied to the thread Minimise backpack weight..
      That would have been a good April 1 post. I intended to post this for April 1, but forgot: "I finally got inijii toe socks. I think I like really like them, but it would be helpful if like other technical socks, they were marked to indicate...
