    Which Osprey backpack?

    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.

    To experience some of France: Biarritz or St Jean?

    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.

    Bed bugs alert

    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...

    Can I walk for Javier, a dead man?

    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

    'Tent' or No 'Tent'

    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.

    post restante Mont-de-Marsan (France)

    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...
