    My gear for the Norte/Primitivo

    Normally the liner is enough for me but with the light bag doubling as a pillow, the comfortable/restful night's sleep I get makes up for the 750gm bag weight. I've been using some blister prevention tape from Decathlon lately with success although my Garmonts are well worn in so hard to tell...

    My gear for the Norte/Primitivo

    Hi Anemone - my poncho is 3/4 length and fits neatly over my pack and it works for me. I'm leaving Irun 26th August.

    My gear for the Norte/Primitivo

    I thought you'd want details... 6 x nappy pins Hyperfix tape, Betadine, PawPaw balm, Compeed Toothbrush/paste, soap for self & clothes, I don't want to shave but the girls are insisting I do so we'll see I've been sleeping in the liner and using the bag as a pillow lately, very comfy, but if I...

    Thanks Jill - I'll heed your lessons but hope to learn some of my own, just for the experience of course. I particularly like your references to your husband/family at home. I will also be leaving my family at home and am already getting unprompted hugs and words of encouragement from my young...

    Not sleeping outdoors, just thought if all beds were taken it'd be an option rather than walking on. Thanks for the prompt reply - one less thing to fixate on.

    Starting del Norte/Primitivo in 22 days

    Hello from a newbie and thanks for the great advice - sometimes I got answers to questions I hadn't even thought to ask!! My biggest head-scratcher has been whether or not to take my trusty self-inflating mattress? I've put it on and off my pack 1/2 dozen times - if I take it on the off chance...
