    Suggestions for Lightening my Backpack for a 6-day Camino Walk

    Switching to Gossamer LT5 poles will immediately drop a pound from the weight. They are a little more expensive than other poles, but worth every cent.

    Walking Norte to Primitivo

    There are many alternate routes and I'm not finding much tarmac. It's been a great mix of trails so far. I'm in Bilbao now and loving this rest day.

    Started in Irun on 24-September. In Gernika now and all is good. Little to no problems related to covid. Bring a mask and you'll be fine. Headed to Bilbao tomorrow.

    I've confirmed all of my accommodations along the way and look forward to the Norte/Primitivo. Arriving Irun September 23 and heading to San Sebastian on September 24. This is soooooo much needed.

    How do you plan your route out?

    Daniel, I'm doing norte in 4 weeks and have planned every stage in detail with notes on what to see and do, where to stay and where to sleep. I've even made notes on restaurants and history for each place of importance. Send me a direct message and I'll share them with you.

    Spending Money on the Del Norte

    Definately not enough. Norte is at least 40% more expensive on a normal year and prices are all over the map since covid. I'd plan for double the cost of your previous Camino and hopefully you won't need it.

    Origin of the Camino Passport

    I've heard many conflicting stories about the first camino passport (or credential). Does anyone have links to books or other articles about the history of this document? When? Why? Different versions over time?

    What to do with extra time?

    Oh my. I can walk 40k on relatively flat or even downhill but the climb out of SJPP kicked my butt. Uphill is my nemesis and I'm planning del Norte for June. I better start training for hills asap. Ugh.
