    This year I am considering 40+ kgs in my backpack: A mobile backpack

    Hi Mum, There is an even better choice leave without her this year and then do another Camino with her next year when she is fit. You will also then have more than ample time to road test her. But don't give up at the first " hurdle ". Hope to see you in Seville.....................Buen Camino

    A moment of thought for those having to postpone their plans.

    Hello IngridF, At this moment of time you have far more important priorities, as I see it you have only one priority. you must treat your family as you would wish to be treated yourself one day. The Camino is going nowhere it will still be there another time and you WILL BE ON IT THEN.
