    FindPenguins: tracker or not?

    I haven't tried FindPenguins yet, but if it's anything like Polarsteps, friends can follow you on the website without having to download the app.

    FindPenguins: tracker or not?

    With Polarsteps, points are taken roughly every 10 to 30 minutes, if I recall, depending on how quickly you walk. It does not track your route as Wikiloc does, but it does give a rough track, rather than a start point and an end point. If I look at @peregrina2000 's current track with...

    FindPenguins: tracker or not?

    We'll be walking soon and we are going to use both Polarsteps and FindPenguins. We have used Polarsteps in the past with its tracker on. It uses very little battery, and it's nice to be able to see where we've walked. In addition, family members following us can see where we are between start...

    Blogging tool for a non-blogger?

    In my recent walks, I had Wikiloc running, with Polarsteps in the background. I updated Polarsteps in the evening with text and photos. There were no issues with having the two apps on at the same time. The only issue was that the battery of my phone drained faster, and at the end of the day, I...

    Blogging tool for a non-blogger?

    I used Polarsteps in 2018. I didn't use it well, in that I had one trip for the whole 2178 km we walked, and added too many photos. This meant that by the time we had arrived in Spain after walking the Gebennensis and the Podiensis, it was taking ages for posts to load. I have since used it a...

    On the Camino, on this date in October

    On the Camino del Norte, 2 October 2018 Our wedding anniversary is on 2 October, and three years ago, I wouldn't have found a better place to celebrate 36 years with the love of my life than on the Camino. 39 years today, and we hope we'll celebrate our 40th anniversary on the Camino in 2022...

    Crowd written guides to the secondary and tertiary caminos

    The app is available (I have the android version), and your contribution would be fantastic and most appreciated! Look for a Podiensis app. You can send your contributions to Michael directly, or add a comment in the app (see screen shot below). Thank you in advance, merci! Bon chemin, bonne...

    Any interest in a new virtual/planning thread?

    That gives me time to put on my shoes 😄

    Any interest in a new virtual/planning thread?

    I'm happy to tag along and learn about any Camino! ☺️ Interestingly, I was just reading on FB about the Voie Catalane, which links Montpellier to Monserrat. https://www.facebook.com/66catalan/ Walking with my darling, I like the idea of crossing the Pyrenees at a lower altitude, which is...

    Any interest in a new "virtual camino?"

    You are wonderful, @peregrina2000 ! Thank you!! I'll do my best ☺️ Buen Camino!

    Any interest in a new "virtual camino?"

    My wife has also been recovering from illness, and 15 km, or 10 miles, a day is the average we aim for. We're not purists, so when some stages cannot be shortened, we're happy to take public transport or a taxi to shorten the stage. We also plan frequent rest days: they help the recovery...

    Any interest in a new "virtual camino?"

    @charlotte19675 , I always look for ways to walk shorter stages. That is the beauty of these virtual Caminos: it allows slow walkers like my darling and myself to plan for shorter stages.

    Any interest in a new "virtual camino?"

    Please don't be dissuaded, @peregrina2000 ! 8 is a quorum! Didn't we start some of the recent virtual Caminos with just about that number? I agree! Stuck behind closed borders, I just keep organising future years. I think I'm up to 2026... ☺️ It would be great to have @VNwalking back with us!

    Any interest in a new "virtual camino?"

    Any one of those, please. We (my darling and I) will be slow walking along ☺️ Thank you in advance! Buen Camino!

    Have you been married a long time?

    I love that analogy! Multiple leaps of faith and a lot of trust. My wife and I have been married 38 years. Our first challenge was losing two little babies. For her third and fourth pregnancies, my wife spent 7 months in bed, trusting that we would eventually have two sons. We took up the...
