    Pack Weight

    Thanks for that - plus double points for including the word 'embuggerance'! I am going to try and use this word at least once each day (I'm teaching Incident Command skills to firefighters this afternoon, so it shouldn't be too difficult ) Meanwhile back to packing the backpack . . .

    Pack Weight

    Start date only 1 week away - looking forward to the adventure! Newbie -type question: The 'rule of thumb' backpack no more than 10% of your body weight guidance - does that include water? I'm using a 2-litre hydration pack, which when full weighs in at 2kg, so makes quite a difference. I've...

    Help - Walking Boots

    Around 5 months ago I purchased some Brasher Hillmaster GTX walking boots. I have been carefully wearing these in, ready for my Camino , which starts on May 3rd. The rivet holding one of the lace rings has pulled through the leather (!). I am now panicking has I don't have time to wear- in any...

    Sleeping Quilts v Sleeping Bags

    I am starting my Camino on May 4th and am taking a Snugpak lite sleeping bag which is really light ( but not too expensive) and a silk sleeping bag liner ( which is really light and dries quickly after washing). The idea is hot nights =liner only, warmer nights sleeping bag only, cool nights -...

    Anyone Any Experience with Pacer Poles?

    Hi Gang, I think I've finally made up my mind in the great 'poles or no poles' debate. I'm now considering taking poles and wondered if anyone had any experience with Pacer Poles ? Any experiences, good or bad, please share. Also, I'm thinking of buying a totebag for my backpack/poles so...

    Raincoat-Poncho

    Hi, I am planning on walking the Camino alone ( I realise that I won't really won't be alone as I am starting from SJ on 4th May!) and the getting a poncho on and off without assistance is swaying me towards a waterproof jacket/waterproof trousers instead. Is this good logic? Regards, Frank

    BackPack Flight Covers

    I'm glad you're already a bore . . . . was beginning to think it was just me o_O

    BackPack Flight Covers

    I'm already starting to think about the logistics of getting to my start point on the Camino. I sort of resigned myself to travelling by Eurostar to Paris, then Paris to Bayonne by rail as well. This was mainly because I was worried about the restrictions flying to Biarritz (Ryanair) would...

    Footbeds

    Thanks for that. I've got plenty of time to experiment with different ones, as I plan on doing the Camino next May June

    Footbeds

    Hi, I'm walking the Camino next May/June and have read up on replacing the original footbeds on walking boots with 'Superfeet' footbeds. Is this worth doing? I've got Brasher Supalite II boots which seem comfortable enough. Having said that, I will be doing a lot more distance than I am used to...
