I am going to not over think the planning of this trip in a few weeks time

Time of past OR future Camino
May 2023
It has been at the back of my head this year that I need to do a Camino Frances for reasons I am not totally certain about, In a three day period around Christmas out of the blue the idea was planted into my head from various sources.
Last few weeks I have had a few work and health problems which are now sorted and I am today rushing around planning a SJPDP start on May 8th.
But yet again and knowing my OCD tendencies for over planning everything and getting stressed about it :) (probably why I need to do The Way for a re-balance) I have decided in the last hour to not over plan and over think about this and just take the first step in France on May 8th even though I might have overlooked something, but I am sure whatever I have forgotten or not planned it will right itself as I go along.

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

All sounds perfectly fine.

Remember, if you forget something, it can be bought at a better price & quality in Spain. It is an old, civilised country. And you will not be alone. Have no worries.

Exactly. The Camino is not a wilderness expedition into uncharted lands. It is actually an overly well marked route with extremely good infrastructure for walkers/pilgrims, in a safe and developed country.
Even if you realise you missed some equipment, there are plenty of cities along the way to buy even that.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
