    First time pilgrims?. Planning and preparations? Gear and training?

    Okay, for example lets say someone is in the process of buying gear for their 30day camino. They are first time pilgrims. They may see 'first time pilgrims' enter the thread and find helpful information pertaining to 2015, deals on flights, gear, clothing ect.
