      I wear NB walking shoes with Darn Tough light padding and did the Frances in October/November 2022 - lots of rain, but the shoes dried overnight. I did not size up and had no issues. Wore the same brand/model on the VdlP in 2023 with similar good...

      Walked the VdlP last March/April and only had 2-3 days with light rain over 45 days. Had a sun/rain umbrella and lightweight gore-tex jacket for cooler mornings

      el-pe replied to the thread When should I stop training?.
      You have to know your body. If I had nagging pains I would taper off and rest; if not, I keep walking up until the flight and maybe rest the day I arrive. Plus I star at a lesser distance for a few days to get use to everything.

      I carried it by choice, but I researched transport services for a friend with back issues who considered joining me. I don’t think there’s a service you can call day by day; you need to reserve it all ahead of time. I speak enough Italian to...
