    Feeling quite dissapointed and haven't even started my way

    Ultra-Light Rectangle Sleeping Bag

    Perhaps after your camino you could let us know how this bag worked for you. I am planning on buy a new bag...just sold my -30C mummy bag so have a budget for one.

    Train from Paris (CDG) to st.jean pied-du-port

    One walking stick vs two
