Hi,
I walked 3 month with a Ospray atmos 35 ltr and was very happy with it. Apart for the usuel things like clothes, sleeping bag etc., there was place for a 1 kg tent, cooking gear and a 3 ltr water bladder.
Biarritz is the sea resort of Bayonne and very touristic. Bayonne is a typical France city with a great city centre and a half hour bus ride from Biarritz. Buon camino.
Hi, I have a packa, a poncho with sleeves and it has long vents under the armpits. I ordered the packa in the US. Google 'the packa'. There is also a demonstration on youtube.
Hi fellow menbers. I follow this forum now for about three years and have read a lot about bed bugs. It seems to be a collective obsession. I was warned. But when I started my camino last year, from Vézelay to Fisterra, I forgot all about bed bugs and that was fine. I slept in all kind of...
Re: Can I walk for a dead man?
Hi, Alex, I walked last year and dedicated my camino to a friend who died two years before his planned camino. His name was written under mine with the mention "vicarie pro" (dedicated to). So, no problem. Servaas
Dear friends,
In 2011 I celebrated my seventieth birthday by walking from Vézelay to Fistera. Now, five months after my return, it’s time for a summary. I think there will be some answers to questions I’ve seen on the forum lately.
To begin with, this was for me the most impressive event so...
Hi Rebekah,
This year I walked from Vézelay to Fisterra. I took the Norte. I intended to take the Primitivo also, but changed my mind. Now I regret it. So I plan to walk september next year to walk from Bilbao to Gompostela via the Vadiniense and part of the primitivo. So I'm very interested in...
Hi Abbeydore,
I walked this year from Vézelay to Fistera and had a tent with me, because I need a lot of air to sleep. The tent weighted less than one kilogram, all in. I didn't use it as often as I planned, but in France I camped sometimes wild and in Spain often in the garden of the albergo...
Hi Lovingkindness,
Congratulation. I have followed your pelgrimage now for a jear, except the three months i was myself on the way. Looking for your messages was in fact the first thing i did in the morning. It was a great pleasure. Thanks.

I flew yesterday from A Coruña naar Amsterdam by Vueling. Euro 142. Booked 5 days before in a little travel agency in the Rua Rosalia de Castro 29 in Santiago. From Santiago to A Coruña by Train takes 30 minutes. The bus to the airport takes another 30 minutes.
I am not Servaas but his significant other. Servaas is well on his way to Santiago and has asked me to send a few articles to Mont-de-Marson. He did leave a list of addresses of post offices but Mont-de-Marson was not on it. I've tried looking it up on the internet but I couldn't find it. I've...
Hi fellow members,
Tomorrow the 3th I'm going to Avallon, Tuesday the 5th I start in Vézelay. I will take the Lemovicensis, the Ruta de Norte and the Primitivo. I know there are not many of you to walk this way, but I hope to see at least some of you; I've glued the forumsticker to my...
Hi Laurie and Maria,
De yellow German guidebooks are called OutdoorHandbucher and are edited by Conrad Stein Verlag. They seem very accurate to me. I say seem, because I didn´t use them till now. I´m starting in two month time. They are little and weight near to nothing. After removing the...
