    Baggage weight

    I weighed my baggage and it is already more than 10% of my weight, that doesn't include yet the shampoo, soap, shoes, mobilephone and the charger. Since i will be taking my journey in the middle of August maybe it is not a good idea to take a fleece jacket. Is there an area along Camino Fances...

    Has anyone walked with compression stockings

    I am 58 and starting the walk in Roncesvalles on the 29th May. I have been having a problem with pain just under the knee which happens about 1-2 hours into my walks. My physio suggested wearing compression tights, such as skins. Just wondering if anyone else has used these and how they went.

    Photos of Macabi Skirts in the Field

    I think whether or not a Macabi Skirt looks "unfashionable" on a person depends on the person's body shape and your idea of "fashionable." Personally, I think they look great. Here is a page of many, many women in their Macabi skirts. It's nice because you can click on each photo, read a...

    Buff Question

    Can you give me a reason why I should take a buff? I wear a long sleeved hiking shirt with collar and a hat with brim. So I don't need it to keep the sun off my neck. However, I understand they have more uses - can be used as a headband, scarf in cold weather etc. In my thinking if I took the...
