    Sun Sleeves?

    Agree , would rather have a sun shirt , sleeves too fiddly, or wear long sleeve merino

    Gear list for VdlP in March/April

    Looks fine to me, only question is how easy is it to pack in 24 L bag. Wrestling to get it all in a bag , in a dark room every morning will become a bit of a trial .

    How late is too late to start (in the season)?

    In 2022 I started in Almeria 2nd May , it was hot all the way to Galicia , but as long as you start early and can carry enough water all ok . Depends how you are in the heat .

    Camino Mozárabe so worth it

    I walked from Almeria to Fisterre, life changing. The route is hard but very doable , would do it again tomorrow if I could

    Wet shoes, cold feet, blisters

    Agree, in October you could get cold feet. Gortex boots do provide a solution but the are heavier.

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Good idea, let’s have a separate room for pilgrims with BO too

    Rain pants or not ?

    I would take a pair, they are light and dont take up must space. Nothing more miserable than being wet or cold all day

    Quick drying hiking tshirt help

    Agree, at a point they just die and you can’t get the smell out. Merino all the way for me, appreciate they aren’t as robust , are more expensive but worth the money

    Altras Lone Peak 6 + Flat Feet

    Hi, I wore 2 pairs of Lone Peaks on walk from Almeria to Fisterre, no problems. Would recommend stretching once finished everyday but all good.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    The other choice is to walk quicker, Not sure which Camino you are planning but I would have thought most are doable in circa 80 days, leaving plenty of time for volenteerring.

    Overstayed 90 days? From UK?

    Sounds like a terrible idea, why risk potentially significant personal consequences ?
