    bed race

    You will be fine, I walked mammoth days in peak season last year rarely arriving anywhere before 7pm and only found two albergues full, both happy to accommodate me, one I declined and walked on as I preferred it to go to someone else who may be more tired than I the other I gratefully accepted...

    Leon to Santiago in 8 days...possible?

    That's your opinion but I can happily say you're wrong. :) Buen Camino :)

    Leon to Santiago in 8 days...possible?

    It's possible :) I did Burgos - Leon in 3 days, Leon - Oveido (Camino Salvador) in 3 days and Oveido to Santiago in 6 days (Primitivo). So it took me 9 days from Leon - Santiago going a longer/hillier route. Buen Camino :)

    Sleeping bag and Liner

    Roncesvalles to Irun for the Norte

    I'm not sure about walking, but a cursory look at a map suggests it's around 53miles. Otherwise you could walk to Pamplona and get a direct train/bus to Irun.

    Cheapest travel to St. Jean Pied de Port and a few other questions... (vegetarian meals etc)

    1) As mentioned check SkyScanner and http://google.com/flights for the cheapest airport(s) to fly from. I would also look at flights from Nice/Geneva as getting there via trains from Turino/Milano is trivial. 4) The 28L is a good size however you probably know super light backpacks are expected...

    Accommodation SJPDP

    From my experience, I don't think it's necessary. When you arrive at the pilgrims office they will (assuming there is space) offer to assign you room in a hostel. When I arrived last year via train late afternoon in the peak months of summer there was no problem for myself or anyone else in...

    The Meseta

    I think I may have been fortunate as when I walked I did not take a guide but only the maps. I walked mostly with Italians who I did not understand and therefore was unaware of the legends of the Meseta other than a few random rumblings from other pilgrims such as some twins who bought bikes to...

    Underwear for the Camino??

    I wore uniqlo - airism in my Camino last year and they were perfect; comfortable (airy :) ), light, not expensive and quick drying.
