    My sleeping bag is too tight

    Cocoon Travel Sheet – I use a rectangular silk travel sheet that has a pocket pillow insert. The rectangular shape is not as constricting as a mummy sheet. The pillow pocket insert allows me to use the pillow from an albergue if provided. Otherwise, I improvise a pillow with my drybag and some...

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    I like to walk about 20km, but that is not a magic number. I have walked in excess of 30km some days. I do like the flexibility of zero or nero days especially in Pamplona, Burgos, León, Astorga ... At least one a week. I have averaged about ~45 days on the Francés. I do not plan ahead. The...

    I have a set of Vertice Rain Mitts that fit over some fleece gloves. Sealskinz is another option. Finally, you can always get some extra large dishwashing gloves in the supermercado...I have used blue, but I would recommend yellow for safety. 🤣 Drybags are essential for keeping gear dry. I use...

    Pilgrim shop in León?

    CF Live Leon to Astorga advice needed

    I have walked to Villar de Mazarife and San Martin del Camino. The walk to Villa de Mazarife was nicer. The walk to San Marin de Camino was mostly along the road. I did have one of the best pilgrim meals in San Martin del Camino at Albergue Vieira.

    Do I need better rain gear? (or mental strategy for rain)

YMMV Rain jacket - I like pit zips in a rain jacket, and I also wear a baseball cap under the hood to shield my face. (eyes). Rain...
