Top tips for July/August caminandes

[PilgrimPillar]

Came in on the very early morning of St James day. Tired and happy. Here is my top tips;

Early mornings and half the days stage by 11-1200 for lower second part paces

Protect your head from heatstroke with something you can drown in a fuente

Book ahead if possible or at least call to check availability for non reserve places.

Sufficient water and/or electrolytes as second bladder weighs nothing.

Carry anti inflammatory dexketoprofeno gel/tablets for yourself and caminandes

Go light as low weight will make you have more range if needed/emergency

Eating good and resting even better will make restitution a dream.

Engage and care for those on path that just need a tiny bit more positive energy.

Washable dark coulered face mask ready on your wrist at all times you’re not alone

ULTREIA

In Tricastela, Albergues full. This will be the case from now on, I expect. Best to book ahead, carry a tent or arrive early. The race is on ....

Window of opportunity is here now….reluctance for autumn optimism

That’s a fine example of the ‘camino capsule wardrobe’ you’re modelling.
