Thanks Nuala for your comments and feedback. We did spend hours on the forum before stepping out last year. We feel that this list is a way of giving back to the first timers.
Thanks so much Charl, packing lists create huge debate. They trigger many emotions. We came at it from a practical perspective. There was the odd item that we carried that didn't get any use i.e sleeping bag liner, but we needed it for future travels so it got a free ride for 37 days across...

Hi kinnear, many thanks for the feedback. We set out on the 20th September last year and took 37 days. The mornings were chilly, but soon warmed up. We too really obsessed over what to take, made a little more challenging as we had no wardrobe to open up and choose from. Good luck with your...
Thanks, notion900, yes we have only one Camino under our belt but have been living out of a backpack for the last two years. Easiest time of the year, I guess that's open to debate. The Icebreaker gear is expensive (has stated in our blog) but value for money when you consider the life span you...

Hi Catherine- thanks for the reply. I have just had a reply from Orisson. All booked :)
We will be leaving one day behind you, staying SJPdP on the 19th and Orisson on the 20th. I suspect we will take around 37-38 days. We will be dropping our car/bags off in Santiago first too as traveling...
Kathy C - not sure if you are still checking in on the forum. I am keen to understand how your 'yoga on the Camino' experience turned out? Did you take a mat? How, where and when did you do your practice? I am keen to keep up my yoga when we leave in a couple of weeks time, but feel I may be...
