    Absolute Bare Minimum Packing List

    A lifetime’s work...for me, at any rate :)

    The Lush shampoo bar review thread

    This is the only one I've tried and, because it meets all my needs and I love it, I've stuck with it. My only wish is that it would last longer! Thanks for the thread...very useful :-)

    Rain gear- poncho

    Yes, I bought my Altus here last September and Pierre (shop owner) did a great demonstration of how to easily put it on and take it off without assistance or getting wet. I used it with rainpants and shorts/t-shirt underneath and it was a complete Godsend. Best 60€ I spent on the whole...

    My sleep sack "innovation"

    I think I might be a potential customer ;-)

    Outdoor Shops in Santiago

    Thank you! It’s called ‘Deportes Romar’ and I’ve just bought walking poles and thermals from there :-)

    Several General Questions

    I second the last pieces of advice...particularly the 'stay hydrated'. I was told by a fellow pilgrim to 'drink plenty' when I was in Navarette...I didn't and really suffered in Belorado. My mistake... and I won't make it again. Buen Camino Minaleigh :-)

    Kendal Mint Cake

    Having just watched Jamie Oliver's 'Sugar-rush' documentary on Channel 4 (and signed the petition asking the Government to add a tax to sugary drinks) the point is well taken! Trust me, I plan to sample all of these delicious foods while on my Camino. But for expediency's sake, I figured it...

    Kendal Mint Cake

    Because I've just started doing training walks with my full pack (I know...last minute Annie - I leave in less than 3 weeks) and realised I run out of steam after a few hours...want to make sure I get to Roncevalles! ;-)

    Permethrin Spraying Question

    I was thinking this would be my one and only camino...but reading all the posts on this forum I guess I should 'never say never'... Thanks Grayland :-)

    Permethrin Spraying Question

    Good tip - I'll take a look - thanks :-)

    Kendal Mint Cake

    Thanks Jill, I think that's good advice. Don't want to run out of gas on the final approach to Roncevalles! :-)

    Kendal Mint Cake

    Does anyone know if it's possible to buy Kendal Mint Cake in France &/or Spain?

    Permethrin Spraying Question

    Hi DougFitz, Just about to buy some permethrin on-line to spray my backpack & sleeping bag. Do you think a 150ml bottle will be enough? Can't believe I'll use a litre one (which is the alternative). Thanks

    Walking poles or not

    Thanks Annie. I've been debating the 'one pole or two' question & this has decided it for me. A simple staff at St Jean methinks.

    Sock problem

    I bought the middle ones & will use them on my walk in Sept/Oct.

    Sock problem

    I also got WrightSock & am using them for training walks/hikes - so far so good. Has anyone tried Armaskin Anti-blister socks?

    Birkenstocks - now in plastic!

    Perfect! Have been searching for that 'Goldilocks' of sandals to take with me & this looks like it. Many thanks for posting.

    Women's Underwear

    Patagonia Hipsters get my vote. Not done the Camino yet but have invested in 3 pairs & do all my training walks in them. They're super-comfortable and wash/dry really easily/quickly. Prícey but worth it to me.

    Home from my Camino and my feet are changed...(along with the rest of me.)

    Your 'paddles' description made me smile too Kanga!
