Hi
Currently in SJPDP, starting tomorrow. The Napoleon route is closed and likely to be closed for some time. It is very(!) cold here at the moment.
So much so i just had to buy a pair of clothes and another fleece!
It is very beautiful though!!
Good luck!
Highly recommend 1000 mile socks. Have done A LOT of walking the last couple of months in the shoes I'm taking on my camino and no blisters! They are bit dearer than your average sock but well worth it as no blisters!
Hi all
Is there any problem with carrying valuables in main backpack?
Obviously when I go shower or out and about have a small bag to take with me, but if i have them in the inside of my main pack, I cant see the problem.
I'm pretty sure I'll feel someone digging around in there looking for...
Hi Falcon

Also not intending to take a wallet...
Hi
I know this is an old thread but hoping someone can help. I've got a little day pack that attaches (clips) to my main pack. Was just going to put everything in there, and then when I go out at night, sightseeing etc I can just unclip the little day pack and take with me... Is there any...
A big thank you for all replies. Have bought the Marmot and feel happy about my purchase! Ive also got the pants, but wonder if I really need them... They dont weigh much so I may just pack them in case!
Thanks again!
Hi
I am planning on walking SJPDP to Santiago in 35 days.... I decided this was reasonable after reading much feedback.
I think if you can get a couple of extra days, that would be good.
Hi
I am thinking of buying the Marmot Pre Cip jacket as my rain jacket - does anyone have one, had one?
Marmot seems to be a reputable and reasonable priced brand.
Feedback would be hugely appreciated!
thanks!
Hi
Has anyone used the Lifesystem Bed Bug Undersheet?? It only weighs 100g so is an attractive alternative to another bed bug sheet I've found, but which weighs 600g...
thoughts would be very appreciated!

Hi
I am a 31yr old female, from Australia, planning to walk the Camino in April (2013).
I am concerned about rain. Is it likely to rain the majority of the time?
I have never trekked before, and am very much a 'luxury' traveller, so I think this may be quite an experience for me....am...
