    In just a few weeks. Living the dream

    Hello Fran. My husband and I arrive in Paris on the April 13 and will spend a full day before making our way to St John Pied de Port on the 15th. We begin walking on the 16th. It’s our first Camino!!! Excited beyond belief and a little nervous as well. May our paths cross.

    Share your backpack choice with your body info!

    Glad to see the 28L Jade listed. I am 70 years old, 5.2”- 106lbs going on her First Camino. I am worried the pack is too small. but yesterday I trained with pack at 7lbs (3.175k). Still a lot of room to add the rest of my gear. Hopefully when it’s fully packed it won’t go over 11lbs (4.99k)...

    Thank you for the information on the Altras - Did you book Orisson in December prior to your Camino or closer to the date of your arrival?

    Recommended Shoes

    Thank you for this great advice. I will look for the Armaskin socks or something similar. I also heard of some goop (not sure of the name) to rub on the feet for anti-blister. I will try several items till I find one that will work for me. Buen Camino in the upcoming future.

    Whoa!!! So now that I got my pack I will fill it with my items and take some walks and figure out if the shoes still work as well. A lot to consider, glad I have time and this forum to figure things out. Thank You.

    I myself also have custom orthotics and have found my current shoes work well with them. I will try the Trail Runner for comparison. Thank You.

    Recommended Shoes

    Hello. We are planning our Camino for Late April 2023 (thanks to this forum) and about ready to try out shoes. We normally wear New Balance Fresh Foam 880 for our daily 5-6 mile walks, but not sure if such a shoe would be the wrong shoe for the Camino. I have read many threads already but I am...

    28L pack on the Camino Frances this October

    Thanks for the info. I have never used a backpack and thought that getting one or two to use at home while training would be a good idea. REI has a great return policy. I will place the clothing I have on hand for the trip and add some other weight until I get all my items. Hopefully sooner...

    28L pack on the Camino Frances this October

    I will be walking the Camino in April 2023 and went to try on back packs at REI today. I was impressed with the Gregory Jade. They only had the 38L on hand, so I will try the 28L. I am 5' and the S/XS was a good fit. I will search on-line for the 28L and try that one out. Thanks for the...

    Camino Frances April 2023

    I am weary of snow issues. Wondering if the end of April sees less or no snow on the Napoleon. We have yet to purchase our flight tix. We are anxious to begin our camino.
