    Carrying a sleeping bag on VdlP. I am approaching Salamanca and most places have had blankets. You do need a sleeping sheet for albergues at least, or a very light sleeping bag. I find I have used my sleeping bag and am able to secure my valuables in a special pocket while I sleep, so that is...

    Walking from Seville in April

    Hullo Smileymadd, Perhaps we can catch up when I return. I was concerned about taking a sleeping bag this time but have decided that it is a security to have it (660grams) along as well as the silk liner. I had no trouble with bed bugs on the CF when I walked but all the pictures of bites has...

    What Makes the Ideal, Superlight Mobile Kitchen?

    What do you take when you go camping? that would be a good guide. On the Camino Frances we had some amazing meals with other pilgrims both menu de dia and cooked in the albergue kitchens. Gronon was an exceptional experience.

    Thanks Keith. It does seem like I will be ahead but I do intend to take a few rest days and anticipate arriving in Santiago mid May. Whether I go on to Finisterre and Muxia is debatable. I visited both after completing the Camino Frances in 2012 but I didn't walk there due to a sore foot. If...

    sleeping bag

    I am doing the Via de la Plata in April from Seville. I am not sure if I really need my sleeping bag. I took one on the Camino Frances in 2012 May/June but only needed it about three times. It was good for security but if it is unnecessary I would prefer not to bring it. Can someone advise me...

    Hello, I am an independent traveller undertaking my second Camino. I walked the Camino Frances in may/ June 2012 with a dear friend. We had a wonderful experience and I felt a great sense of peace and satisfaction when I attended Mass in the Cathedral in Santiago. I suffered a stress fracture...

    Walking from Seville in April

    Hello, I am intending to walk the VdlP from Early April 2014 starting from Seville. I completed the Camino Frances in 2012 with a long time friend. It was a wonderful experience. I feel pretty confident about my fitness but believe it is bit tricky in the first stage and feel a bit anxious...

    Carrying phones and other technology.

    My friend and I elected to use a smart phone and small camera when we walked the Camino Frances in 2012 which worked pretty well. We used a travel sim that we bought in Australia and loaded on the plane on the way. We also used Vibr when we could and regular Internet at refugios when available...
