Camino Frances (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019)
Camino Ingles (2018)
Tomorrow I fly out from Stansted (UK) to Biarritz, then Friday morning I’ll be taking my first steps on the Camino from St Jean. (This is my third Camino and I can’t wait!).

My bag is packed (I really should give my pack a name as it’s full of personality!), and I’m ready to rock n roll!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
