    Rucksack size carry on plane

    Hey Jo, We just put them IN our backpacks. We have never had a problem taking them as carry on. We always have rubber ends on so no sharp points. This time round my pack was 6kg and Freddie’s 8kg, we paid for the Ryanair “package”: priority boarding/2 bags/reserved seats, we usually get a meal...

    Rucksack size carry on plane

    We have Osprey 35L, we can safely take as hand luggage on both Ryanair and EasyJet, and that’s also with our walking poles inside, we are on Camino as we speak 😄👣

    Footwear on the plane

    I only go with walking boots/shoes (depending on time of year/Camino) and flip flops for evening, I always wear the walking gear on the flight a d just undo the laces.

    Deodorant Preferences

    Hello live from the Camino del Norte! I usually use a Nivea roll-on, but this is certainly a no go for a Camino as it comes in a very heavy glass vessel! For this Camino I decided to try a solid stick deodorant from ‘Lush’, I can say that it smells very nice and I do not seem to be perspiring! 😂...

    Pee Cloth - leave no trace

    I was worried about this whilst preparing for my first Camino (July 2018). I think the amount you need to pee also depends on the time of year and how much you are perspiring! In the month I was walking I rarely got caught short. I only drink decaf which also helps, I did not deprive myself...

    How to translate Gronze.com on my phone into English

    Hi KCP, I always use Google Chrome when in Gronze, however, be aware it also translates the village, Alberque and hotels names which can be frustrating and/or annoying! 😂😂😂

    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    Good idea, we photograph everything important and email copies to ourselves, this way we don’t have to carry anything extra, but copies are at hand. 😀👣

    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    I remember exactly how that feels, I think I read up so much, and took all the advice I could. Here goes…… 1. Walking sticks- definitely! You do see pilgrims walking without them, but the majority use them as it takes a lot of strain off your legs. The first time I bought mine in Spain, after...

    Problems with Carry-on Back Packs

    Hello, Having read many of the posts on this forum looking for advice about footwear, travelling with poles, which rucksack is the best, poncho or rain jacket etc etc etc.....everyone has there own preferences and different experiences. I have now been on 4 different Caminos, the first one we...

    Raincoat or poncho?

    My experiences, walking the Francés during June/July I brought a rain jacket and a rain cover for my rucksack. When it rained it’s a bit of a fuss getting your pack off to get your jacket and cover your pack. Then the jacket acted like a sauna as it was hot, the rain dribbled down off the...

    Drinking Vessels

    For my 2018 Camino Portugues, I found this hybrid system which seemed to offer the best of both worlds. And I have to admit, it worked for me. Hello David, What is the hybrid system that you are talking about? When we walked the CF in June/July 2018 the water in the bladder warmed up pretty...

    Drinking Vessels

    Sorry I just noticed your post, to be honest I can’t remember which web site I saw it on in the USA but I just did a quick search and found them in Amazon for $24 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QMF0U8/?tag=casaivar02-20

    Drinking Vessels

    When walking on the CF in July my son and I used hydraulic bladders, which were fine but became annoying when refilling during our daily walks. During the final week we ended up buying bottled water and carrying that in our mesh side pockets which then meant we had to depend each other to get...

    Walking poles - how to take them on a flight??

    Just to let everyone know, I recently completed the Camino Frances for which I did not bring my walking poles with but bought new poles in France. I flew with Ryanair from Vigo and my son flew home from Porto also Ryanair, we both brought our poles on board as hand luggage with absolutely no...
