    How are you funding your Camino?

    @SEB and @Irish Bernie -your offers are great and I'm very tempted. Only, I've now managed to raise the cash for my kit and everything (maybe the Camino really does provide- but even before you're actually on it?) I can start looking at a backpack for myself- I can see myself using it at other...

    How are you funding your Camino?

    That's very kind of you. Alas, I'm in Scotland. I'm also a rather short, narrow shouldered female. But your offer is really appreciated :)

    Best Guidebook

    What guidebook do you recommend? I'm aware of the Brierley which seems super popular. But I also see that this forum does one which sounds really comprehensive.

    How are you funding your Camino?

    Right. Frances it is! My selling off of my pins is going really well- I've now raised £500 of the £800 (still need boots and a decent backpack) that I feel I need. The Camino does seem to provide...But you guys are inspiring me to be more budget conscious. I've realised I don't need to be...

    How are you funding your Camino?

    I'm thinking seriously of booking the flights as soon as I know I'll be able to afford it. Just got to decide on the route- I find my depression makes it really hard to make decisions. Brain fog. Flip flopping between the Frances- pretty, popular and the Portugues- custard tarts (if you're...

    Tresspass Equipment (UK)

    Em...I know all about Tresspass as we have one of their shops in our town and I have some of their clothing. My question is specifically about the quality of their boots/rucksacks given the cheaper pricing.

    Tresspass Equipment (UK)

    Has anyone used Tresspass gear on their Camino? I was looking at their boots/shoes and they're about half the price of the big name brands. I ask because my first ever pair of hiking boots were Hi-Tec from Millets and were really good. They also do a women's backpack-...

    Portugues vs Frances for the anxious

    Thank you, Tom. That's put my mind to rest. Now to try and decide 100% on which route since I can now discount the accommodation factor...decisions, decisions...

    Portugues vs Frances for the anxious

    Hola! everyone (first post) I had been pretty set on doing the Portugues, either late this year (October/November) or early next (March/April), largely as I saw it as avoiding possible accommodation problems by taking a quieter route. Having read on this forum about the fewer number of...
