[QUOTE="redjeep63, post: 170953, member: 14884"] We walked in June,we were leaving bits of clothing and absolutely nessecary "stuff" in the places we stayed along the way. We never walked more than 4 km without there being a cafe or Store or someplace to eat ,shop or drink. We never used our sporks, or pocket knife. There is a pharmacy in every town,or a shop with essentials. If you are staying in b&bs. you will never need your stove or coil. We stayed in alburghees,hostels and hotels. We were never without cafe con leche or food. After the first few nights we were told to decide where you are staying the following evening.Have your host call ahead and reserve your rooms .We did that. And never felt the need to hurry . They had what we call dollar stores here.They are Bazaars,They will have everything from toothpaste to knee braces.. A nice poncho that covers you and your pack will keep you dry. We walked one day in torrential rain.The only thing wet was our faces and shoes. The heavier your pack,the more chance of injury! The smaller the pack,the less chance of over packing! The one bit of advice we didn't follow,and we paid dearly for was the ,buy your shoes at least 1/2 size bigger. Your feet will swell. A week in and we were buying new shoes. We had to wait til we got to Burgos to find an outdoor shop! I had to have my big toe nails removed several weeks after we returned home. Also compeed! Wore it everyday! Never had 1 blister! If you need something ,you will find it, I got tired of wearing the same two tees everyday and bought some towards the end. Worse case scenario. They have a company that picks up your packs in the morning and delivers them to your next destination.Super cheap! Enjoy your planning. I would also have backup books,Everybody follows the beirelly guide.We found that having a book with he hotels,alburghees and hostels worked so much better. You can get those almost everywhere too. Quote="Robo, post: 170898, member: 31043"]Yes, the cooking gear may be over kill. Though I know how great it is on a long walk when wet and cold, to 'brew up' a hot drink or meal. Being our first Camino I have no idea what to expect along the way. Certainly looking at the Brierley Guide, there are many long stretches with no cafes or villages at all. Does that sound right?[/quote] Wa [/QUOTE]
