Cleenjones reacted to Frankybaby66's post in the thread Which should I take? Sleeping bag or liner? with
Like.
Both. Silk liner weighs pretty much nothing. Carrying a lightweight sleeping bag is a bit like having travel insurance - you don't need it . . Until you do . . 😉 -
Cleenjones reacted to BillW's post in the thread Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy... with Like.
Lots of good advice above. A few other hints... When you get to Lyon airport, the "Rhônexpress" is a metro that will take you into town. There are tons of signs. You can't miss it. This will take you downtown where you can catch the train to...

Cleenjones reacted to mazzarina's post in the thread One week and I start in Le Puy en Valey with Like.
I'd definitely recommend booking a few days ahead. The GR65 will be busy at this time of year, at least from Le Puys to Conques. I'm travelling to Le Puy next Wednesday and have booked ahead. If you're on Facebook, I strongly recommend the group...

The posts you see about waves of walkers are all about Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, which is weeks of walking away from Le Puy. So you won't need to worry about those posts specifically. However. It is far more common on the Le Puy route to prebook...

Cleenjones reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections with Like.
Personally this grumpy old man could not agree more with the other grumpies and the wonderfully vibrant and far younger @trecile who say walk an uninterrupted camino. This is not to brag but to tell you we have a bunch of caminos between us and...

I tend to be in the "wear tomorrow's clothes" camp. When I arrive at my destination, I shower and change into tomorrow's clothes which I wear through the night and until it is time to shower tomorrow generally. Then I have fresh clothes for when...

I was on the Portuguese route in September of 2023 and I found the albergues were quite warm at night so I was down to my underwear for sleeping. YMMV. Also, I had planned on bringing a lightweight dress, but left it out at the last minute. I...

This dress weighs nothing, doesn’t wrinkle, dries quickly and was perfect for either evening or sleepwear. And cheap! I wore it in August though - to go out you may want/need a fleece over it, or leggings under it, in spring. Amazon Essentials...

Cleenjones reacted to Vancouver Rose's post in the thread What do you wash your clothes with with Like.
I used Dr. Bronner's Soap - 1 bar for everything. And then celebrated when I stayed in the occasional Pension or Casa Rural that had REAL shampoo! I hadn't known about the washing "sheets" before I left, and had a I known, I'd have taken some...
