Thankyou for this link, I've just returned from completing the Camino and have been looking for something to do next year and I think the walking festival will be on my list...
Totally agree about the wide brimmed hat, I've just finished my first Camino 21/6 and I wore it most days. I also took a 'shammie' which I found really useful (until I left it behind one day!). Buen Camino
So, leaving in 10 days and I have just weighed my very full backpack (25 + 5 Litre). I weigh 55.5 kilo and my backpack total weight is 6.8 kilo so I would appreciate if someone can tell me the best way to put on 12.5 figure in 10 days so won't have a problem with the weight! Otherwise I...
Bought this from the Book Depository and it arrived yesterday. Read it today and loved it! What an amazing journey Harold had, and it was such an emotional book. Can't wait to start my Camino in 16 sleeps!,
Thankyou all for your feedback, will certainly look into the options available and will have our bag delivered to Ivar's service when we arrive in SJPP (we have already paid to take the extra bag on our flight from Paris to Biarritz).

I get so excited when I read these posts... I am also boring the pants off everyone as I can't stop talking about the Camino and spend every spare moment reading posts on this Forum.
I will be walking with my nephew-in-law who turns 60 during our walk - I turned 60 in Nov last year so this is...
Hi Larry, our paths will probably cross starting out so close together so hope you both have a good walk... Unfortunately we won't make the meeting in Sydney as we both live in Queensland!
Hey Stefania, just seen your message. We arrive in SJPP on 14 May and start walking 15 May. You will easily identify me and my walking partner Dave, we will have badges on our backpacks with the Australian Flag and our names.
Hey Señor Dave, Señorita Di here!
Getting pretty excited now, glad we made the decision to just see where the walk takes us, and if we get a bed all good, if we don't it's still all good. Have bought all the major supplies, just need the small stuff now. Can't wait to meet all the fellow...
