    Clothing in September

    Aliwalks I would recommend taking a little bit of everything during that time of year. It was so unpredictable for me last September-October and I was so happy that I brought long pants, shorts, long sleeves, and t-shirts. Good luck and Buen Camino!

    Camino Frances in September !

    September is such a beautiful time on the Camino Frances! I got back from my first Camino last year September and absolutely loved it! There was plenty of sunshine, wind, and rain! I am planning a second Camino now. Any recommendations on different routes?

    Having troubles....

    Tyrrek, If I don't do this later this month, I will in fact do it next Spring. I chickened out last year May and have been regretting that for some time now. I guess I was just reaching out to the Camino community for some sort of advice. Thanks for your words, Charlie

    Having troubles....

    Thanks Alan! My dad would want me to go on this trip;I know he would! We spoke several times about the trip and he always told me to go for it and never look back! It's just hard getting over things in your head.... it plays games as you know. Keeping good vibes. Thanks for the kind words!

    Having troubles....

    I am planning on leaving to start my Camino on the 29th or 30th of September and have run into some trouble. I was all psyched up and ready to go and got a phone call that my father passed away....I just don't know if I can handle a trip like this right now... I just want to live on and embrace...

    Choosing a Pack

    I already have a Kelty Redwing 50 that I think would be fine for the Camino but am worried wether I can carry it on. Any suggestions on alternative packs?
