    Questions: pack size/type, distance to cover

    Osprey pack I picked up an Osprey Atmos 50 pack last month and have been very impressed with it. It is light weight (3 lbs.), has places for two water bottles, can handle Camelbak water bladder if desired, and has a great supension system that allows air to circulate while keeping the pack...

    stopping at Silos?

    the end of the journey

    Exultet I find song is the one thing that gets me through tough times on the hike. I was stuck in a bad spot in Iceland this summer. Foot of a glacier, solo, midnight, cold, raining and starting to shiver(!). I started singing my lungs out - exhausting my entire repetoire of marching...

    the end of the journey

    Suggestions One way to mark the end of the journey would be to select a few prayers. The "Pilgrimage Psalms" (Psalms 120-136) are a good start, both for the journey and your arrival at Santiago. The Te Deum is a classic prayer of thanksgiving of the Church. For the musically inclined...
