A permit system only works when it gives access to a defined resource - e.g. beds.
I have permit-walked mainly in Australia and New Zealand, and in my small experience there are three types - those that have exactly the number of beds/camp platforms as number of issued permits along the entire...
iPhone requires an additional use of face/finger/pin at point of use of the credit cards stored on it, even if the phone has been unlocked. I looked into this before I loaded the credit card info onto the phone, my conclusion then was that it is more secure than the physical card in the wallet...
One difference between losing wallet and phone is that with the wallet, id is immediately visible and any credit cards with pay-wave are usable. With the phone, all this is protected with a face/finger-print/pin.
For me, I have found that taping the places where I get/have blisters works best, and removing shoes, sox and airing everything at rest stops is worthwhile.
Recently bought an Osprey EXOS 48l for my daughter, it seems to be version 2 of the design and no longer has pockets on the hip belt (plus some cosmetic changes elsewhere). Still a great pack.
OK then, with 1 litre of water your pack will be 12kg.
This is certainly doable. I did that (but I carried too much) and it was "less enjoyable" than if I had under 10kg and under 8 kg would have been better.
Usual advice applies - start slow and steady, with conservative daily distances...
Pelikan, you will need a sleep mat under a sleeping bag if you tent, so if these amounted to (say) 1.1kg then that is 6kg so far.
Can you assemble one set of spare clothes, rain gear, toothbrush etc under or equal to 5kg?
I started early September with a poncho, which was enough for rain, and a heavy fleece. I bought a softshell rain jacket in Burgos or Leon, because of the cold/wind. So I think take both if the weight is OK for you.
We took 45 days SJPP to SdC so 2 months is a good time buffer, and if you finish...
I offer a Fair Weather Service, at One english pound per day, that is 100% guaranteed no rain that day.
Disclaimer: service is not geolocated. Somewhere on the planet will have no rain that day.
We stayed there, and enjoyed their excellent paella. I think they had only recently opened back then so I am pleased to see they are still running!
Everything was donativo, including the beer.
My wife and I walked that part in Sept, she sleeps hot and rarely used her sleeping bag. I sleep cold and used it every night.
We are in roughly same but opposite shoulder season now, so try it at home. Can you sleep with just the liner?
This is a common issue. On your camino feel free to stop and check/fix things. Only walk with others if this suits you - you will catch with them again.
excellent choice!
This may be one of the rescued walkers, looking to thank those involved.
