I left three pairs of socks on the line at Albergue La Laguna in El Burgo Renaro. I am currently just West of Leon walking around 20 to 25 kilometers a day, next stop around San Martin del Camino.

Is there a cyclist stopping in El Burgo Renaro who is willing to pick up my 3 pairs of socks in the name Douglas H and then leave them at an Albergue ahead of me?

If so, please leave them a good 60 klms passed Leon then advise me on this thread. If someone picks them up more than 2 days time then please transport them further or drop them off in Santiago and let me know where please. Many thanks, Douglas H

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.

Time to let go of my socks. I am in Lugo hospital with pnuemonia for five days and I don't need socks in here. Bye bye socks! Hopefully I will have time to complete my Camino after a bit of a rest.

Sorry to hear that Doug. Get well soon. Hope you are back on the trail soon - Bill and Ita from Ireland
 
Thank you. I was coming down with it prior to the Ferro Cross. I hope that you both had a great Camino. Thanks for your company.
 
It was great. We finished on Monday. On our way home now. Are you back on the Camino?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Not yet. I am staying with a friend in Vila Real, Portugal while I recover and get my strength back. Please contact me if you ever get to NZ.
