    Packing recommendations please

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your views and packing suggestions. I'm overthinking things having walked SjPP to SdC in June 2012 and walking again in June this year. Last time I was living in Spain so got everything from my local Decathlon, mainly Quechua branded - this time I...

    Packing recommendations please

    Hi everyone, I have spent so long researching items to pack that I "can't see the wood for the trees". It appears that: Merino wool is a must for socks. Light layers work best for tops. Shorts or long trousers that convert to shorts with a zip are ideal. A poncho is as effective as light weight...

    Carry-on Size Backpack

    Probably a silly question, but what do you mean when you refer to the "brain" of the backpack.

    Booking rooms in advance

    Finally finished booking accommodation including 2 nights in A Coruna to relax before flights home. Just need to put some more effort into a bit of hill walking once the current storms depart the UK :)

    Booking rooms in advance

    I'm really surprised at how many times I'm getting the last or second last room available for many of the rooms I have booked so far. Just to add that I could find accommodation at every stage I've looked at so far, just not my chosen accommodation, so no need for others to be concerned.

    Booking rooms in advance

    Hello everyone, I'm walking the Camino Frances with my wife in early June and want to ensure that we are able to stay in our preferred accommodation so plan to book ahead. I understand that any number of unforeseen circumstances may lead to the plans being disrupted but as the vast majority of...

    May 2014

    Can't wait for the 27th when I arrive in Pamplona. Walked 65 miles last week and 10 miles yesterday. I don't want to train anymore - I just want to start the Camino. Patience never was my strong point:)

    21 days to walk: What's more important, mileage or leisure time?

    I walked with friends in 2012 and there was a competitiveness between us as to who arrived first at the days destination, just fun, but competitive all the same. When I walk this year I will take the time to look behind me, take in my surroundings and appreciate the history of this fantastic...

    Do you prefer to walk on your own or with company?

    In 2012 I walked with my wife and 2 friends. This year, my wife and I will walk together - I couldn't imagine this experience without her.

    LIVE from the Camino Albergue Ettiquette

    Be excited, be happy, look forward to the day - but is there any need to whistle loudly at 5am in the bathroom?

    Returning home.

    You did the right thing Wayfarer. God willing, I will hug the apostle for you in early July.

    Dragonte route

    I'm thinking of taking the Dragonte route from Villafranca del Bierzo on the way to O'Cebreiro. Has anyone taken this route, and if so, can you recommend it?

    Dogs

    This friendly looking boy was in Ages in 2012, although he did snap at my friend who put his hand over the gate to pat him on the head.
