    Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners

    My other hack for protecting my passport, it to have a laminated copy of the password ID page taped to my pilgrim’s credentials. That way in most cases people registering for accommodation accept the copy rather than hading them the original.

    Quiet pole tips?

    I use champagne corks, just drill a hole for the pole tapered end to into. You get about 100 km or so out of a set of corks , so you need to drink a bottle of champagne every 50 km which is very nice in deed.

    Share your backpack choice with your body info!

    I had an osprey Exos 38 litre but it was generally less than half full. Male 67 175 and 80 kg. I also had a bum/Fanny pack of a 3 or 4 liters which I used to carry my money, cards, pilgrim credentials and passport. This was always attached to me. Basically my advice is take as little as possible.
