    Play podiatrist for me: big toe nails ache

    Hi! I have just paid £300 for partial nail avulsion on both sides of both my big toe's. Not any real issue when walking; but some time after they hurt to touch the upper surface of the nail! They took six weeks to heal after the procedure but now no pain. Defo get advice from your foot dentist:)

    Experience with waterproof socks

    I have taken Sealskinz on all my walks ! On the Portuguese Coastal had one really heavy rain day walked 6 or 7 hours in them and feet stayed dry. I wore a pair of Darn Tough light hiker socks inside them and had no issues!

    Locks and cables, recommended or not?

    Never felt the need for any lock! All my valuables are in my shorts:); 7 pockets are enough for phone, passport, documents, cash and cards! Four are zippered and have a velcro tab also! I have said before on another post if i am walking in my boxers I've been robbed 🤣 !!

    9 Doing it yourself is part of the fun ; planning your stages, booking your stays, sorting your gear and booking flights all help you get through the months of waiting for the day you start Camino!! It's so much easier than you imagine. Use a company and it costs shed loads of cash for...
