Just drink beer. ;) In all seriousness, you'll find water sources, fountains and such, though always carry extra if you plan on a long day - JUST IN CASE! Cafe and restaurant owners will happily fill up your bottle. Don't camp. I've written about this before. Just don't. That is, of course...

Maps.me is also a wonderful resource. Not sure if this was mentioned. Downloaded maps which can be used offline. I also have "wise pilgrim" app and guide book, but I think maps.me or google maps will be much better for this particular leg of the journey.

Maybe it is a time issue? I know in the past I just blazed right through. I returning now with the sole intention to spend time in certain areas/towns simply to enjoy them, the people, the history. But the more I read, the more I realize how the direct path isn't always the best. :) <3

I'm leaving Santander on the 30th - this is gonna be my route! In the past, on my previous caminos, I blew right through and didn't take this way. But now, having made it to Santiago many-a-time, I want to go slow, maybe even spend a few days enjoying this particular section. <3

I had to urinate during one of my first treks, so I walked up and over a small hill. There was a path, so I wasn't treading anywhere that I wasn't supposed to be. I crested the hill and came upon a horrible mess of waste, mostly from others who had a similar idea. However, it wasn't urine but...

OMG! So adorable! Naturally I wouldn't want to go up and pet it, but I love that shaggy/hippy look. <3

I'm heading out in early April. Just head west. I'm recovering from cancer and still have many impairments... I think this is about 70% of the reasoning behind my decision to head out once again - I need to just be. If I feel that at any point it's too much, I can always rest for a number of...

Is that like MREs? I've eaten a few of these and, though certainly not mamma's home cookin', they aren't bad!

YES!

https://klosguitars.com/pages/ukulele I am looking at one of their guitars. They look amazing!

Have you thought of investing in a carbon fiber uke? I know they make carbon fiber guitars that are basically indestructible!

Certainly! Though I sometimes have to sit back and say "ok, do I need this, really?"

Yep! Basically! I could walk with nothin' but my credentials and a tooth brush (ok some clothing, too), as long as my feet are dry and feelin' good, I'm feelin' good!

Well, of course! ;) One does not simply walk to santiago without vegimite!

I've discovered the mattress is a great idea! Just a closed cell one, very lightweight & they can pack small. They keep the dust etc. off the bum and are very nice to sprawl out on for a little snooze! Talking to locals is a must!

Definitely some audiobooks! I really enjoy these in the evening when I was to unwind a bit.

ohhh I think it's great to grow the 'ol pilgrim people. As you'll see in my photo (avatar?) I was getting kinda shaggy by the end! I was trying to clip it with scissors that were in a small med kit, but then just gave up and let it go wild!

I think this would be a great "extra"! The pleasure of processing the film would certainly be worth the extra weight of such a setup :)

Bubble wrap!!!!!! This is a brilliant idea! (& the chili sauce is a must!)

I agree 100%! I guess I was talking more about buying it there and the legalities of it. But trecile is spot on!
