    If this is the mindset, then we shouldn’t carry anything on the plane because anything can be forbidden. I think that it is silly to warn people leaving from Canada not to carry on their poles when the regulations explicitly allow them...

    I fly often and it’s my experience that if staff are new and don’t know the policies or are dealing with items they don’t usually see they default to the position that it’s not allowed. You can respectfully and calmly pushback if challenged. You...

    I have recently carried my folding poles on board from Vancouver. I trust the explicit wording of CATSA that says poles are allowed, if the pointed ends are less than 6 cm, and I am glad that they have given this clarification. I don't know when...

    The CATSA policy on hiking poles is very clearly worded and is addressed specifically on the CATSA website. I‘ve never had any issues outbound from YUL. I would check that they’re permitted on your return flight if you want to bring them back in...

    EWhite reacted to Dave's post in the thread American Discovery Trail - Across Iowa with Like Like.
    17 days and ~440 miles later, I've made it across Iowa! I wasn't entirely loyal to the ADT, as flooding on the Mississippi wiped out the first stage, and I wanted a more direct, westward route over the last few stages, but otherwise I was...

    EWhite reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Cabo Finisterre - which direction? with Like Like.
    My first thought was that you want to walk West out on the loop and East returning, but that probably isn't what you are looking for. I think if I were doing the complete loop, I would go Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia - Santiago.

    If you’re walking towards SdC from Fisterra the section from Cee to Capela de San Pedro Martir is a long uphill slog. There are some nice views into Cee if you’re decending that section.

    EWhite reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Camino by skateboard? with Haha Haha.
    So far as I’m aware the pilgrims office do not apply any restrictions on the use of skateboards. For unicycles and unicorns the usual requirements apply. 200km and 100km respectively. It’s possible that skateboarding may fall under the Church’s...

    "It depends on the albergue." Probably the biggest factor is whether it is a municipal/parochial/association albergue or a private albergue. A private albergue, especially one that is not exclusively for pilgrims, is more likely to allow more...
