I have several tattoos, and i use them to mark significant steps in my life. I also have a rule that I must have sat with an idea for at least a year before I get it inked in. I was thinking about getting some form of a map of my route on my foot, like an earlier poster I like the idea of using...
I plan fot ther class of 2008. Just getting my bits and pieves together now.
What is the best sleeping bag to take - I am erring in favour of weight, but not sure how cold it could get in April - any ideas?

This is probably a dumb question and one that will be answered in my book when I get it, but what do you do for breakfast? There is no way I am carrying and cooking my oat porridge with me, but obviously breakfast is going to be the crucial meal in the day.

I am used to cycling 10 miles a day and I was thinking of transiting to walking it from January. My main concern was that the caqmino would be bustling post easter, but from what you said I should still be ok in April? I am really keen on walking from Leon
I like the idea of Leon, though the idea of having to be in by noon is not as good (though I had heard this). I have left myself 4 days for delays, I heard that the main rush id for easter so my leaving date is easter Monday.
I am wanting to do this route in Apri;l next year- trying to avoid the rush on the main camino. I want to get to Santiago and have 10 days walking time - looking to cover about 20 miles a day.
Anyone have any idea on a good place to start which is easy to get to? Also looking for, obviously...
I am looking to do the pilgrimmage for two weeks next April, along the way of St James. Could people give me ideas of where a good starting point would be for this?
