[QUOTE="OzAnnie, post: 201703, member: 27139"] Hi Carla Exciting isn't it? All the reading of tips and comments to weigh up. It's easy to say 'relax' but hard to do when your brain is conjuring up new scenarios and expectations every waking minute. Once you're walking - it's a dream. You will be the most relaxed you'll ever be in your whole life. At one with earth and sky. Even carrying your backpack,as it will be your 1st best friend, and your shoes/boots and poles if you use them. (Love walking with poles, would hate to be coming down into Roncevales without them). Re your gear worries, if you don't take your poncho, do you have something for rain? You may be lucky but it would be rare not to have some rain, and the poncho (depending on the type you have) can also cover your backpack. I don't bother with rain pants. I d rather get my trouser bottoms wet, or wear shorts if it's hot. That's the negative with rain cover (pants,jacket, ).when it's hot and you're on a tough section - you can get as hot as hell /sweaty, on the inside. A different matter I'd say packing the pants for a winter walk. Although i felt I had no trouble carrying my backpack weight (my body thought differently )next time I'm hoping to get it down by 2 kgs as my legs swelled after 10 days last time. So remember to drink your water regularly, take rests, even take your boots off for a breather and the socks too. Dip them in that stream if it looks good! Will u stop 1st night at ORISSON or Roncevales . You will make lots of friends then, if you haven't started out with a group in sjpdp. I'll bet you're counting sleeps already until you go. Buen Camino Annie [/QUOTE]
