      "we were in a windproof tent in a puddle, sharing a fruit cake that had been battered into its constituent parts and washing it down with some Cup-a-Soup minestrone from a shared mug that tasted of that morning’s tea. It was, by some distance...

      mjal reacted to mikebet's post in the thread Disfrutar named best restaurant in world. with Like Like.
      Best dining experience in my life was many years ago in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, on my motorcycle. Long day riding and it had gotten dark -- no towns or lights in sight and it was getting colder and colder. I was exhausted, shivering and...

      mjal reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread The forum, 20 years on. with Like Like.
      Interesting, initially the site was not so much about the path as the destination. That has changed somewhat. And from the very first post there was a distinction made between "tourists" and "pilgrims". :) But Ivar was clear that the distinction...

      Well; if it were me I’d let you on - but I’m unlikely to be on duty for a variety of reasons. It’s an expensive experiment if you’re going to chance it and the view of whoever you ask - even at the airport, and most certainly on the internet -...

      It would be disappointing if any half decent pair of such footwear couldn't last 800km, unless of course the pair you are starting in are already way past their best. Also changing footwear halfway through unless absolutely necessary could lead...

      I am Irish, an EU citizen with an EHIC card, so while in Spain I am entitled to free treatment - should I need it - in Spain's excellent health service. But I still take out travel insurance, not least for its repatriation cover.

      mjal reacted to jsalt's post in the thread Camino fatigue? with Like Like.
      Hi Luka, I have no idea if this option will be of any help at all, but 5 years after walking a camino every year, I decided to take a group (in 2017) from my local hiking club. (There are several threads in the archives, so I won’t go into the...

      mjal reacted to SabsP's post in the thread Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded? with Like Like.
      Exactly! Living in cycling country I see groups of cyclists ( racing bikes and no assistance ) every weekend, some of them obviously with less perfect BMI and they manage really well. Without a doubt they could cycle a Camino and finish it. And...

      Don't underestimate big fat middle-aged men! A few years ago, I was surprised at the number of very large cyclists attending a cycle touring conference, but I was even more surprised to find that they had regularly undertaken far longer and more...
