    I took a thinnish fleece and an insulated waistcoat and my waterproof. In many decades of walking in the hills and mountains, I’ve only once put in a pair of rain pants. I’ve given up carrying them. Merino base layers will keep you warm by day...

    I have not walked the Inca Trail but I have walked the Ingles a couple of times. I've just had a look at an elevation chart for the Inca Trail. Impressive! I'm pretty sure you will find the Ingles much easier! :cool: For a start the maximum...

    My father-in-law rides a recumbent trike (a Greenspeed) and reckons he wouldn't do a camino on it BUT he's now 93 years old. Maybe he would have considered it a few years ago! I've walked that route and was not consciously thinking about bikes...
