You have to be very careful with deletions as all the images posted to the blog are in the same place (I think Conrad had a nasty experience related to this. I deleted a 'cache' of over 2Gb, and that seems to have helped to solve the problem without any side effects that I'm aware of! Humphrey has other theories that I'll leave for a time when my brain isn't so overheated.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-77278928352492946972015-07-12T00:09:37.752+01:002015-07-12T00:09:37.752+01:00Thank you for your excellent summary of the routes...Thank you for your excellent summary of the routes, Sir. As I write comments on preceding days posts you answer them on the following days - this is entirely satisfactory!<br />And you are taking a day off as well. I think I might have had a few days off after battered feet!<br />All the best to you in the next few days!<br />:-)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-12035437577324459582015-07-10T20:03:13.349+01:002015-07-10T20:03:13.349+01:00We will let you know about traffic on the route wh...We will let you know about traffic on the route when we're there!

Hope the time off helps sort your feet out - there's nothing worse than uncomfortable feet. Until recently I've rarely had any problems, but the last year and this year on the Camino (hard surfaces throughout) have played havoc! I now carry a huge variety of bandages, tape, plasters and wadding to cover all eventualities! :-) Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576395337502021082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-27074798726514251622015-07-09T18:15:35.860+01:002015-07-09T18:15:35.860+01:00Sue has that picture Gayle.

You won't have many of then, but you will have a few horse flies. Appropriate repellent may be a good thing to carry.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-19482327835429478062015-07-09T18:06:03.900+01:002015-07-09T18:06:03.900+01:00A picture of your feet: that's what we need!
