    How much weight did you actually carry?

    I will walk september/October with a FSO of 7.5 kg included (1.5 liter) water and food. I'm quite happy with it even though its 2.5 kilos more than 10% my bodyweight. I had a look at a BMI calculator and checked my BMI with and without everything I will bring. Even with those extra kilos I'm...

    Please help my girly soft feet man up

    Many good points here.. Do a few short ones with the new shoes, then aim for longer ones is not a bad idea.. Guess I'm just too excited! Maybe if I ever go for another camino I will plan it better.. Just decided to do the camino since a month ago :p

    Please help my girly soft feet man up

    Thanks for all good advice every one! Will probably have to try them out a few more times before I leave for the camino 20. September.. If they don't work they don't.. I hope they will tho! Crossing my fingers that these are just "breaking in" blisters

    Please help my girly soft feet man up

    I walk a lot of 10-15km mountains in Spain in wintertime, but only use Nike running shoes for that. They also give me blisters some times, and arch pain (almost cramping up) as they don't really give much support. Haven't tried these shoes in flat terrain yet, only in the steep, rocky mountain...

    They are non goretex. Tried out this trick I read about wearing thin lady socks under the hiking socks to prevent blisters. Got one blister on my heel, one in my left arch and 3 tiny ones on the right arch. I think my arch is just a little bit high, and got these shoes for that reason that...

    Went for a 10km hike in the mountains with my 7.2 kg backpack for my first fully equipped training yesterday included new salomon hiking shoes! And the hiking socks I will be wearing for the camino.. Got home with 5 blisters and sore feet. Not cool! Is this normal when you break your shoes in...

    Did you bring a sleeping pad?

    Many good answers to this thanks guys :) Will probably cut a small piece of the pad for just a little thing to sit on! Hehe better safe than sorry :cool: If one day I realise I don't need it I'll just leave it behind

    Did you bring a sleeping pad?

    I'm considering to take mine. As a first time pilgrim I don't really know what to expect from the camino or myself.. Will there be a lot of places to stop and sit down/ stretch your legs on the way between the Albergues? If not a matt would be great.. Or at least a sitting matt.. Not sure about...
