    Using AI to help you plan

    My AI tells me walk out he Albergue door, look for a coffee AH that was nice then smile at those around you and put one foot infront of the other and ENJOY the experience, so may over plan over worry and forget why they are walking to Santiago....

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Totally agree, as it not only P*** others off and it achieves nothing as you will miss so much in those dark hours, I have noticed more and more it has become a race to the next albergue...stop and smell the flowers.

    Is the full Portuguese Camino doable in 3 weeks?

    anything is doable, but what is it you want to achieve, it is not a race and hurrying through it may mean you miss the experience of the Camino, I would start in a town closer and take your time and enjoy the people the peace and reflection of the Camino. But each their own.

    Trail runners on the Norte

    If you wear trail runners now and have no ankle issues I see no reason to change. Over the past 10 years or more the need for heavy hiking boots have diminished as more people realise there are alternatives. I have walked in heat, rain and snow always have used trail runners of different brands...

    What is Your Marching Music

    The sounds of the Camino, crunch of my steps, the rain on my poncho they sounds of laughter and people speaking in many tongues....

    When It Rains It Pours?

    A good poncho, a smile and a song in your heart. It is the Camino rain, sun, wind and snow all part of the fun. My only guidance is not to worry about it just go with No Expectations and you will have no disappointments.

    plantar fasciitis - with 7 weeks to go

    I walked it in 2018 with PF luckily it was snowing so just took off shoes and rested in the snow. All I can say is stretch calfs before each day and during the day walk shorter distances and you will get there. after my Camino I started to wear Crocs flip flops and after a few weeks it went away...

    Can you Jack Reacher the Camino??

    Anything is possible, but you will need to carry a lot of cash and what about emergencies if you do not have a credit card? Also if not staying in motels you will need to carry toiletries along with a change of clothes as you may not be able to wash and dry each day and walking around naked...
