Love my poles......tried not using them one day and felt the weight of my pack.....with them my body has a more fluid movement and for me they also reduce my body stress at the end of the day......I tend to use rubber stoppers most of the time....hate the click clack sound when people walk up...
I will be leaving SJPP 30 April - Preparation and gear nearly complete so one last (?) question from me - do you recommend thermal top and leggings and waterproof pants?
Hi Val
Excellent, another Aussie on the Camino, a shame we won't connect. I am from Sydney (originate from Tassie - we moved here 11 years ago).
I would also like to take this moment to say a huge thanks for all the wonderful advice so freely given.
I have been able to get hold of the books...
Hi again
My plan is to leave SJPP on Friday 30 April so would it be advisable to delay my departure for a few days because of the huge number of people who leave over the May day weekend?? - thoughts please as I don't want to have problems with finding pilgrim accommodation.
Susie
Thank you all so much for your responses - your guidance and information is fantastic. I shall enjoy searching out the books and adding to my ever increasing knowledge. I think one of the major things that I have gained to date is the feeling of community and for someone travelling on their own...
Have booked my flight (from Australia), bought my pack and now it is time to plan the rest so any help and suggestions from people who have walked the Camino Frances in May would greatly appreciated.
