    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    Ah well, I wasn't quite under the aqueduct, but very close. I was behind some bushes between the path and the railway line. I pitched up after dark and was away before daylight. It was a good spot but noisy. On the path side a boy and girl were flirting (think laughing and giggling) and the...

    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    Well I had a bit of a hitch when airport security confiscated the bum cream I'd been pinning my hopes on for saddle comfort. Decathlon in Seville provided some "anti friction" cream that served me well.

    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    And finally, one on a picnic area under the motorway at Lubián in a barbecue house:- Not the little mouse hiding under the blue bowl. He'd helped himself to some biscuits I'd left out and woke me at 2am in the process.

    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    Which water?

    So much helpful information. Thanks to all. @Robo, I’m planning to bike, not walk the VDLP in September/October. (Oh gawd - only four weeks to go..). Your remarks, and those of many others still apply though. In my favour, because the I’ll be rolling the water along - the bike will do the...

    Which water?

    So can I take it that if there's no "do not drink" sign, it's OK-ish? Are all the public sources labelled then?

    Which water?

    Like lots of folks that are planning to on Camino, I’ve been watching (lots of) YouTube camino videos. Quite a few have clips of people getting water from wells or drinking fountains. Now I know that water is a major consideration on Camino and particularly the VDLP, so I was wondering how to...

    Ha! I’ve just spent 25 quid on a super-lightweight poo trowel.

    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    @geraldkelly, I’m not camping to save on costs, but because I like cycle camping. I’ve already got all the gear I need, just need to decide which stuff to take. As it stands, my shelter and sleeping kit weighs less than 2 kg and the bike will carry that. The bike is a mountain/trekking jobby...

    Camping on VDLP: Feasible or not?

    Another question. Camping. I’ve been bikepacking for a few years now, but only in UK and max for four days, but thought to extend this to my Camino in September. My thought was to try to camp out every other day, and albergue the others to wash my kit and meet fellow Peregrinos. Is that...
