It's oversubscribed, like the London marathon, and that has resulted in a ballot system. Ie you can only run if you are selected.
For now, whilst it's so commercialised, use the other caminos and advise others to avoid the Frances. Once these generations have had their turn, it's likely...
Between Horganbost and Stornoway there are few campsites. I burned through 32 miles to wild camp beyond Balallan. Giving me a shorter walk in time for the ferry next day.
It was a decent trail to walk, but just didn't last very long.

I used a bivvy bag and tarp on the Mozarabes last year for 4 nights, when I couldn't get a hostel. I took the setup again this year on the VDLP. But didn't need it. Along with cooking kit, nigh on 25lbs. Which I'll carry regularly to stay fit for more demanding walks elsewhere. Those might...
The power output of the unit is 5 volts* 2.5 amps, giving 12.5 watts.
The charging power for new iPhones is 20 watts.
Along with your CPAP etc your power required exceeds the unit.
I have a good worldwide mains adapter and the original charger for the phone. You should do that for your new...
