      I'm 65 and just walked the Camino Francis for the second time this fall. The travel website Rome to Rio is very helpful for helping you figure out how to get to the place you want to walk, especially if airtravel or trains are involved. Also...

      Yeah, you! I'm planning my next Camino after my 60th birthday, too. I've walked the Frances in 2016 and the Ingles in 2022. My itineraries were loose on both trips--no pre-booked accommodations, no set amount of km/day. I allowed time for rest...

      I agree. Walking with my Camino family in 2016, we made an agreement to take turns cooking for each other in small towns and villages, and then splurge in cities like Burgos, Ponferrada, etc. My favorite memories of that experience were those...

      cha200 reacted to Seawind's post in the thread Trek Poles at airport with Like Like.
      Just an update to my initial question on Trek Poles at US airport: Just cleared TSA/Checkpoint at Miami WITH MY POLES!!! I put them in a hard backed poster tube and taped a handle on for ease of carrying. I understood that it was a 50/50 shot but...

      cha200 replied to the thread Trek Poles at airport.
      I checked my bag with poles on my first Camino. No problem. Then, in 2022, I put my poles in a day bag just in case there was a problem at the airport. They made me check them and my day bag never made it to Spain with my poles. I bought new ones...
