Deuter Guide 40+. Brilliant pack, light and has a spine that flexes with body movement. Cool in hot weather and lots of places to hang things off. I carried 15lb comfortably (a little over 10% bw). Definitely would not go any heavier.
Thank you to everyone who replied, your thoughts and experience really helped. We are on our way, although slightly sidelined in a hotel in Biarritz with a puking Camino companion!
I am heading out on my first Camino on 26 May and due to unforseen circumstances, have only 30 days to get to Santiago. Not ideal, I know....and unfortunately can't change my start point of SJP. Can any experienced people offer advice on which section/s are feasible or recommended to catch a bus...
