    No tie shoelaces

    I have the I have Salomon boots with the laces you mentioned, they are great, replacement laces are available from good retailers in Europe, certainly Salomon shops. I have broken one pair only once, was able to do a quite repair job, but now I carry a spare. I also believe they can be...

    Spanish SIM Card

    As you walk in Pamplona, about 2ks before the town centre there are 2 phone shops on the right hand side. Orange is one of them.

    Passports/Money

    when purchasing shirts or pants make sure they have a zipped pocket. I put them in ziplock bags and carry them either in a chest pocket, zipped up, or in a zipped pockets on my pants. Always with me and almost impossible to get pickpocketed.

    dry sacks/trash bag/ziplocks?

    Ziplock bags are all I've used over many years of hiking/climbing/walking. Cheap, easy, see thru (or can be labeled) and can be purchased at most grocery shops.

    Another backpack Question.

    looks complicated and heavy (2.5kg). My back was 45L and weighed 1.1kg. http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/ is a great site for gear tests and reviews, take a look.

    What portions can be skipped on CF (if necessary)?

    I I would just start walking and if I got behind have a read of the guide book and get a train or a bus occasionally. Some sections on the flat between Burgos and Leon could easily be missed. But 38 day will be enough if you are fit and motivated

    Orisson Response/Saint Jean Question

    I stayed at Orisson last year, it took a little time for them to respond, they will. And it's worth staying there

    Is a sleeping bag necessary on the Frances in the summer?

    I started last week of May last year and only took a silk liner, didn't need a sleeping bag at all.

    Done and dusted

    Tony, good luck for next year. I took 1 fleece and 1 windproof jacket for the first week or so, the Pyrenees. As i got further west and more into june they became redundant and i dumped them, too expensive to send em home. 3 days of rain but with a poncho was still warm enough. Roger

    Done and dusted

    I just rested and elevated, it worked fine, followed by a short slow day just to make sure. Then set a 30k max limit for myself. Finished strong.

    Done and dusted

    Finished my first Camino yesterday and am posting to thank the Camino community for all the help and advice that made my walk successful. I read all the threads, asked question, looked at the videos, read the packing lists and as a result had a great trip. The only advise I didn't take was to...

    Comment by 'Roger Deee' in media 'Meson Cowboy - El Ganso'

    I was there a week or so ago, never felt more unwelcome any where on the Camino so far, so rude!,

    Walking from SJPDP to Roncesvalles around 10 in the morning. Would it be too late?

    I had the same dilemma and decided to enjoy Orisson and the Pyrenees. Got a month of walking ahead so I decided to go slow and enjoy the mountains
