    Water sources along Camino del Norte?

    Just drink beer. ;) In all seriousness, you'll find water sources, fountains and such, though always carry extra if you plan on a long day - JUST IN CASE! Cafe and restaurant owners will happily fill up your bottle. Don't camp. I've written about this before. Just don't. That is, of course...

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    Maps.me is also a wonderful resource. Not sure if this was mentioned. Downloaded maps which can be used offline. I also have "wise pilgrim" app and guide book, but I think maps.me or google maps will be much better for this particular leg of the journey.

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    Maybe it is a time issue? I know in the past I just blazed right through. I returning now with the sole intention to spend time in certain areas/towns simply to enjoy them, the people, the history. But the more I read, the more I realize how the direct path isn't always the best. :) <3

    Following the coast from Santander to Boo

    I'm leaving Santander on the 30th - this is gonna be my route! In the past, on my previous caminos, I blew right through and didn't take this way. But now, having made it to Santiago many-a-time, I want to go slow, maybe even spend a few days enjoying this particular section. <3

    Suitable wild camping spots along the Camino del Norte?

    I had to urinate during one of my first treks, so I walked up and over a small hill. There was a path, so I wasn't treading anywhere that I wasn't supposed to be. I crested the hill and came upon a horrible mess of waste, mostly from others who had a similar idea. However, it wasn't urine but...

    Solo Female Walking Via de la Plata: Safety and Logistics

    OMG! So adorable! Naturally I wouldn't want to go up and pet it, but I love that shaggy/hippy look. <3

    May/June vs Sept/Oct?

    I'm heading out in early April. Just head west. I'm recovering from cancer and still have many impairments... I think this is about 70% of the reasoning behind my decision to head out once again - I need to just be. If I feel that at any point it's too much, I can always rest for a number of...

    Is that like MREs? I've eaten a few of these and, though certainly not mamma's home cookin', they aren't bad!

    https://klosguitars.com/pages/ukulele I am looking at one of their guitars. They look amazing!

    Have you thought of investing in a carbon fiber uke? I know they make carbon fiber guitars that are basically indestructible!

    Extras

    Certainly! Though I sometimes have to sit back and say "ok, do I need this, really?"
  13. el nadador del sol

    Extras

    Yep! Basically! I could walk with nothin' but my credentials and a tooth brush (ok some clothing, too), as long as my feet are dry and feelin' good, I'm feelin' good!

    Extras

    Well, of course! ;) One does not simply walk to santiago without vegimite!

    Extras

    I've discovered the mattress is a great idea! Just a closed cell one, very lightweight & they can pack small. They keep the dust etc. off the bum and are very nice to sprawl out on for a little snooze! Talking to locals is a must!

    Extras

    Definitely some audiobooks! I really enjoy these in the evening when I was to unwind a bit.

    Extras

    ohhh I think it's great to grow the 'ol pilgrim people. As you'll see in my photo (avatar?) I was getting kinda shaggy by the end! I was trying to clip it with scissors that were in a small med kit, but then just gave up and let it go wild!

    I think this would be a great "extra"! The pleasure of processing the film would certainly be worth the extra weight of such a setup :)

    Extras

    Bubble wrap!!!!!! This is a brilliant idea! (& the chili sauce is a must!)

    Bringing CBD Oil to Europe in Luggage

    I agree 100%! I guess I was talking more about buying it there and the legalities of it. But trecile is spot on!
