Blisters...and how to avoid them!
I walked in 1999, and 2000. I was lucky enough to meet (before) another pilgrim who gave me this advice:
Wrap your feet and ankles in wide adhesive bandages ("swaddle them"). Change them every three days or so (they can handle the showers, if you are lucky enough to find them!). I walked 800 kms both times with no blisters at all. I've yet to meet another pilgrim who can say the same.

Reason: typos! Can't afford them!
