    Hi David thanks for the advice. I tend to agree with you to rather support those shops along the way and keep pack weight to a minimum. And wasting time (& energy) trying to find a shop that sells canisters should not be part of the experience. I am counting the days now! Ultreya! Piet Port...

    Hi Liz thanks for the info. I will make a note of Termibus. My worry was that I might need to sit around for hours waiting for a bus. Knowing myself I would like to get going as soon as I arrive! I'd rather spend time on the Camino than waiting. I might spend a afteroon & night in Bilbao and...

    Hi Sil I will try and make contact with the CT Confraternity this week. I remain optimistic about the weather! My feeling is i will be ok once i am through Roncesvalle. I need to make up my mind as to what to pack. Hope to draw up a list the coming weekend and start weighing the items...

    Hi Carli thanks for the feedback. I have a feeling it is going to be a most interesting hike. I will try my best to be prepared for all seasons - within (weight & space) limits. Kind regards Piet

    Hi, I am Piet (from South Africa) and plan to start 23 March 2011 from SJPDP. I am somewhat worried about weather conditions at that time of the year? Any typical conditions and temperatures I can expect? cheers
