I have just come back from the Camino and walked from the end of September to the end of October and used a Sea to Summit Traveller 1 which I found perfect. Very light and packed down small and it being able to open out to a blanket was great. I am of very small so needed everything very...
Hi Kathy, I saw the pain you were in and you didn't cheat in any way. You completed your journey the best way you could. I was totally amazed how you over came what you did and so sad I didn't see your email for dinner until the next morning in Santiago. I totally get you wanting to go back...
Hi I finished the Camino yesterday. St Jean to Santiago and used my five year old pacer poles. Mine are alloy and I walked with someone two days ago with carbon. There was very little Wright difference. I am 5'1" just a bit shorter. I checked mine in attached to my pack and then bubble wrapped...
Thank you for this, I too have printed off the directions just in case the weather turns nasty. I am hoping for fine weather also. All this information so helpful. I have already heard back from Caroline and booked into her taxi and talked about having my bag taken to Santiago.

I am flying from Australia to Paris then fly for an overnight at...
The Salad looks yum. This info sounds so encouraging. It is the last thing on my list to get a handle on. I will go to these sites and should email Orison about my limitations. I am so looking forward to it
Thank you for your comments, I know it will be tricky, but want to have some ideas of how to manage this. It is a long walk with not much to eat. I will check out which albergues have kitchens also.
I fly out from Melbourne and on 20 September and start walking on the 23rd from St Jean and all prepared gear wise and body wise, but have put off and put off asking this question. Whenever I travel it is the bit I dread - however I always manage to eat well. But it is the question I dread...
Hi Jade,
I am also planning on walking alone and will be starting on the 23 rd September. I would happily walk with you or nearby. It's good to have people you can see in the vicinity.
