Rain shell in June & July for Camino Frances

I've walked 4 Camino's over May /June & have always appreciated my rain layers, sometimes its been light, sometimes its peed'd down. I've used Poncho, rain jackets & pants complete with an umbrella (from Ivars store). Carry a backpack cover if walking with a rain jacket compared to a poncho

We're walking the Arles Camino in May, has anyone had the experience of sleeping bag or not as most of the time we'll be in demi-pensions where sheets and blankets are generally provided. Thanks in advance

End of day footwear

I have a pair of lightweight Merrill trainers, 300 grams, that I can wear with stocking socks or warmer socks at night and if needing a break from my boots I can wear during the day. I also take a very lightweight pair of thongs to wear in the showers or to air my feet after a day of walking...

What is the one luxury or non-essential item you would bring with you?

We can here in Australia Trecile although not all Beauty Therapists do this treatment. It also works great for a Summer Beach Holiday

What to wear to fly in?

Janine, I'm one of the old fashioned who still like to feel I've dressed 'nice' for the plane, especially when I travel in Business Class. I do as many have suggested and choose something for my top that I'm no longer wanting but feel dressed up enough in (with boots and walking pants!) that I...

Sock liners?

For me personally...sock liners & socks gave me blisters. It wasn't until I ditched the liners that I had relief. But in saying that I think it also comes down to the insole in your shoes and how your socked feet sit upon it. What works for one doesn't work for all...its all trial and error

Yet another packing list

From past experience I'd leave the waterproof pants in….I've wished I'd had them in the past and very happy I had them on my last camino, made my days much more enjoyable being dry, warm and comfortable. If only we could ask Mother Nature what she has in store for us……….

Telephones on the Le Puy Camino

I bought an Orange sim card for my unlocked iPhone in Le Puy and found I generally had good coverage. For 10E you get 500mg data which lasts (from memory) 10 days and for 15E you get 60 mins of International Phone Calls and this lasts for 14 days. I found both very useful. A lot of the Gites...
