    Who has packed the lightest pack?

    Ha ha

    Help! The walking pole makes me feel like the walking dead!

    I found they really helped on the downhill bits. But I’m older and need all the help I can get. Yes they are a pain and get in the way sometimes, I have to put up with that bit.

    Choosing Sandals

    My sandals are in my profile picture. I’m on my fifth pair in 9 years. I live in them. Only snag, the odd stone gets in them. They are Keen too.

    3 Quick packing questions

    If you bring the camera then bring the charger. You will be very cross with yourself if the battery fails and you have to carry a 'dead' camera.

    We Leave Tomorrow - I think I need a bigger Pack!

    When I had shin splints coming I pressed my foot with shoe on, on to an oval stone and rocked my foot back and forth. It did seem to work. Got good relief. Give it a go.

    I would like to know is a sleeping bag or a sleeping silk sheet necessary on the trip.

    What ever liner you wish to carry just spray it with bed bug proof stuff and then put outside on a washing line to air. You won’t want blankets to carry

    Rookie mistake. Is my gear ruined or what?

    What we used to do with new Levi's...

    My new baby. My other one pressed on my new hip and gave me great pain.

    Down sheet comparison?

    Nappy pins. They double as pegs on the washing line too.

    Craziest thing you've seen someone bring on Camino

    I think I may have seen you walking June time 2010. We were collected by car and taken to a restaurant. You wore a long pretty cotton dress?

    Importance of weight

    Don't buy a large back pack. The bigger the pack, the more you will try to put in it. Less is more. Top up enroute for any forgotten 'necessities '!

    Importance of weight

    Ha, I don't need to add weight before my camino. It's already there. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. Have a great Christmas everyone.

    Walking poles and Marmite

    Marmite is made from beef stock surely. Maybe you mean vegimite from New Zealand.

    1 day before I go - Last minute pack check

    Thanks for that. It was back in 2010 so things must be different. Portuguese route was cold showers in the fire stations so didn't hand about ha ha.

    The dreaded socks

    And check where to seams are on the socks. I like bamboo socks. So soft yet strong.

    How much does your Backpack weigh?

    I hope to walk in October. My pack size is 20 litres. It fits my back and doesn't upset my new hip. I walked the Potuguese in sandals and plan to use these again. Hence one pr socks in case of a hot spot or cold feet.1 change of clothes, a very light/warm down jacket, sleep bag liner treated...

    1 day before I go - Last minute pack check

    I just take a small amount of shower gel and do clothes washing in shower while hair and body washing

    Back pack recommendations

    I used a Queshua forclas 40 air purchased from Decathlon for camino SJPP to Santiago in 2010 and a Low alpine air zone 35 walking up from Lisbon in 2012 summer. The low alpine only had top loading but I carried far less because the weather was so good and reliable.
