    What kind of cup?

    For those who want to take a cooking stove of some kind, I'd suggest that it's not easy to find fuel in Spain. I use the very common and widespread Camping Gaz stove and found it very difficult to get a replacement cartridge. And of course you cant carry them when flying. As for the fuels...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    If you are someone of taste and I'm sure you are, even in Wolverhampton :wink: Ian Dury had an album named "4000 weeks holiday". All my life I've subscribed to this idea, and I retired in my teens at least in outlook. I hope you have retired too. I hope everyone has :D If you prefer Tim...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    This is quite true, but only when you pack your sac in the dorm early in the morning. Consider this simple solution; better pack your sac the night before and what little remains is quietly taken out of the room and packed elsewhere in the morning. No lights no torches no noise. With a little...

    Smart Packing and Unexpected Backpack Items

    You can also use plastic shopping bags as dividers/containers - no weight, waterproof and infinitely adaptable to any space available. No wasted space, as it all flattens in the rucsac. The clear ones are good as you can see what's in the bag.

    What kind of cup?

    Yes! enjoy those breaks; Avoid bringing the workplace into our pilgrimage; we have nothing to lose but our stress! :wink: PS -sod's law is that if we have a very expensive item, we inevitably leave it behind. If it is cheap and cheerful, it is always with us

    Wood Hiking Sticks/Poles Bring or Buy upon arrival?

    I dont carry a staff to look 'pilgrimy'. :shock: :D But I have seen some with immense staffs of 6feet and more than that does look funny. In that case, I think you're wise to get poles. Otherwise, staffs of a sensible length are practical, and if they have no tip, make no irritating sound...

    What kind of cup?

    Never mind hot tea, the price of that cup took my breath away! PS Cups dont rattle if they're packed correctly.

    Wood Hiking Sticks/Poles Bring or Buy upon arrival?

    Hi I've had poles taken from me on internal European flights. Some do this, some dont. They were removed by security , not the airline. So I returned to what i like best, a wooden stick, cut in Spain. I suggest you dont buy a stick because they are too straight and send the shock/tap right up...

    What kind of cup?

    If I dont carry a small gas stove, I carry a small cup heater coil such as you intend. I too need something to launch me into consciousness and this is perfect. As for a cup, I use the type of stainlesssteel mugs which are made in India. About being too hot for the lips, I just tip the cup so...
