[QUOTE="RJM, post: 631963, member: 70218"] You are only 22 years of age and it sounds like you are fit and healthy. You will probably find the Camino Frances to be a fairly easy walk once you get settled in on a routine and you get everything sorted out. I know at 22 I would have not found walking it to be difficult at all. Those Brooks shoes will be just fine I am sure. As far as socks go, wear whatever kind fit best with the shoes and insole combination. Take the combos out on some 5-10 kilometre walks and test them before you leave. Don't give bedbugs too much worry. Most pilgrims don't. Walking in August to September it will be warm, and probably pretty dry on the Camino. I would be surprised if it rained while you walked more than 2-3 days. Pack light, and for sure so not pack anything for "just in case" or "what if". I recommend two .5 litre water bottles. That is all I have ever carried. I would not bring a heavy stainless steel bottle. I always just bought two plastic bottles of water at the beginning of the Camino and refilled them the entire way. I never really found the water to get warm in those bottles, and it's not something I worry about. Personally I would not hang around the albergue playing games on a tablet/device. I mean, c'mon....
