    Thanks for the kind message! We have been asked if we are brothers several times (we're not but we sometimes play on the runour). A rumour has also come about that we are ex SAS soldiers which is completely untrue again, but yeah I admit it does sound kind of cool. I too am walking with somebody...

    Hi Cejanus, We've just left sahagun and on route to somewhere (i'm really bad with names). We're all used to our packs now and even managed a 40km walk yesterday so it's no bother. Really enjoying it so far, think we will reach santiago within the next 2 weeks! We've also bought cowboy hats and...

    Hi Margeret, Everyone I speak to is recommending Granon plus we are meeting a friend there so I think we will most likely be spending the night! Plus we have heard Santa Dominigo has a great history so will definately spend some time sight seeing! Jordan

    Hi there, Yes, we are currently drinking a well earned beer in a nice bar in Azofra after we walked 38km today because the last place ( sorry i'm really bad with place names) had no room in any hostels haha. Thanks for the kind words, we are definately enjoying our experience and meeting...

    On the walk now, currently chilling in a hostel in Roncesvalles, having a good time. Feet are throbbing slightly affer the walk from St Jean but have been told it's pretty enjoyable from here! Meeting everyone has been a great experience, if you see us on the walk make sure to say hello!

    We're definately going to use the service, else my bags going to end up weighing 18 kilo! Think we'll walk through france first and then send them off when we reach spain to save postal costs! I've looked into Australia and think I should be fine. It's a long way away though so I'll more than...

    Hi Cathal, The mother picked me up some gel insoles the other day from aldi. Obviously being from aldi i'm not sure on the quality but if they make my trip more comfortable i'm not complaining! My backpack also has adjustable straps to suit any back so should hopefully be as comfortable as...

    Thanks for that, looks like it's going to come in really handy. Picked me up a new backpack yesterday as well so the reality of the walk is starting to kick in and I can't wait! Bought an Osprey Aether 70 and it feels amazing haha

    Haha sounds like a plan! Really looking forward to it now. My backpack broke the weekend though so I've got to look into exchanging it for a better one this weekend if possible, hardly used it :/ any recommendations? I need a decent 80 litre one I think to accomodate all my things after the walk.

    This is definitely something I need to look into. Can you give me some more information about how I would go doing about this?

    Thought I'd upload a pic of us 3 so if you see us on the walk make sure to say hello (just after coming backdown from the top of Snowdon). Josh is on the left, Jake is in the center and I'm on the right. Probably see us wearing those tops too more ofthen than not!

    Thought i'd add this post I got by weekjchammings as i found it really inspiring! "In " your eyes " plus " rule of thumb " who is carrying this pack you or others. We are all individuals you will soon decide for yourself after a few training walk in Snowdonia if you can carry 14 kg or not. My...

    Ok thats some good pointers, I've spoke to my friends and the splitting the pack idea sounds like our best bet. I'll definately look into it. Going to have some trial run packs soon so I can properly analyse the weight of what I'm carrying.

    Hi Kanga, i didn't know it started from toulouse. I think we are going to stay in toulouse for a bit then get a train down to bayonne then st jean. I'll have a look at my pack thursday night after i've packed all my stuff and then i'll check the weight. I'll see how it looks from there...

    Hi Olivares. That sounds like a good idea to be fair, I'll look into it. i'm going to have a proper pack this weekend to go up Mt Snowdon to see what sort of weight I'm looking at and then I'll be able to judge how it feels. I walked about 11mile the other day with about 14kg and that wasn't too...

    Hi All, Me and 2 other friends are walking the Camino at the end of April (we fly to Toulouse on the 24th and then going to make our way to Bayonne) and could do with some advice. We're three young men, aged 23-25 who are walking the Camino first but then travelling the world afterwards...
