im innn I like your comments alexwalker. I am wondering if I need to rest up with sore feet or blisters etc. where do you stay if you're only allowed one night in each albergue and have to leave by a certain time each morning. Do you have to wait around and move each day to a new albergue or...

It is very exciting. I'm in SJPDP 2 nights & start walking 30/4 to either Honto, Kayola or Orisson.

Can I ask if you walked the other 30km for a bed or where did you end up sleeping if there was nothing available in the town.

My walk starts this May as well and will prefer quieter albergues but worry about cost. Is there a huge difference in price between municipal albergues and private ones. A private room now and then would be heaven.

Thanks everyone for your 'mixed bag' of comments. Seems more of a preference thing as everyone has either one or the other as their favorite type of backpack. Not having experienced trekking with either I hope I fall in love with my Osprey 36L top loader.

Many thanks I appreciate your comments. I've not backpacked before but looking forward to getting used to my top-loader

Has anyone experience with front loading backpacks. I bought an Osprey top loading backpack to walk the camino in May but after seeing the Osprey front loading ones wish I had bought one of these instead. So much easier to access and pack contents and look more secure.

What happened to the feet of person-3 lol

Thanks fasert, my thought exactly.

Thanks MechEngr, reaching Orisson is my plan, but if I don't get there maybe nap under a tree. I'll be taking it slow in the beginning with maybe 7 kg pack and taking super care of my feet. I really want to walk the whole distance. I hope I'm lucky like you with the weather

Wow! You are an inspiration movinmaggie

Thanks very much, I have my heart set on the Napoleon route.

Brilliant suggestions Jenny. Thank you

Thank you everyone. I didn't expect such a huge response & I appreciate and take it all on board. It sounds like the walk to Roncesvalles is toughest. I'm a slower walker & I wonder if any older citizens walked too slow to the next town missing out on getting a bed and had to stay outside...

Thanks vgen5122 I think 1st stop in Orrisson sounds great or any place nearby. Thanks for advice if I get a sore back, hopefully my pack will be light enough to not cause problems

Thanks heaps JennyH94 for all your suggestions and advice. I will check out Bystander's proposed walking schedule. I wish him well. Those km are close to what I want to achieve around the start so I've taken a screen shot of your post

Thanks C clearly, I walk/jog 5km occasionally and often feel I could go further for longer. I haven't walked in walking sandals before but think interchanging my footwear will help my feet. My desision was sudden to do Camino but plan to go next spring. The next few months in OZ during summer...

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments & feedback, I will take all suggestions into consideration & have decided to add walking sandals to my list

Thank you vgen5122 taking care of my feet and walking the tortoise walk will be my priority

Thanks Mike, I have 3 months so don't need to rush and I've done lots of research. I think I'll be fine taking it slow but not too slow to miss out on albergue accommodations. I have an affinity with many things you say.
