    What clothes do you wear after shower

    A pair of leggings and a T-shirt, multi functional. Can be used to layer up in cooler weather or even sleep in if cold. Buen camino

    Recommended shoe size

    Most shops will let you take a pair home and wear them for a couple of days around the house. As long as you don’t go outside they will accept them if you need to return them (check this with the shop beforehand). Wearing them for a full day or so going up and down the stairs frequently will...

    Wet feet

    Take the liners out, dry with balled up newspaper. Have a second pair of insoles which you can use whilst the first dry. Non gore tex shoes might mean you get your feet wet but this is offset by the speed in which they dry out.

    Luxury items

    A big bottle of body lotion, worth every bit of the extra weight 😂

    UK Ladies Share Your Shoes Info!

    Hi Lucy, I am from the UK and I walked last July/August. I too have slightly wide feet and usually take a 4 in trainers. I did a lot of research before buying my footwear and it paid off as I experienced no problems at all with my feet. I ended up with Salomon Xa Pro 3d but in a size 5 which...

    Ladies Osprey Packs

    I used the Tempest 30. I chose this as I am petite and the adjustable back length enabled me to fit this perfectly for my frame. Also I needed to take my pack on the plane as cabin luggage and this met the size requirements perfectly. I loved this pack, I liked the pockets in the top which I...

    Reading while on the Camino

    I left my kindle at home but read my books on the Kindle app on my phone instead. I really enjoyed wandering down to a bar after I had finished walking for the day and sitting there with a nice glass of wine whilst I read.

    Carry-on Size Backpack

    My Osprey 32l easily met the carry on requirements. I used drysacs to compress everything as much as possible.

    Good backpack for small woman

    I am only petite and the Osprey Tempest 30 fitted perfectly, and the back is adjustable. I would advise her to go to a good outdoor shop to be properly fitted with weight in it.

    All About Osprey

    I had to get the 30 as I could only take on cabin baggage. Still a great pack 👍

    All About Osprey

    I have just done my first Camino, and the first time I have ever carried a pack. I can honestly say that I loved my Osprey Tempest which I bought after having done lots of research. The only thing I would have added is a separate zipped compartment at the base - please shake Mike's hand for me -...

    Best packing practice - what to keep in easy* reach?

    I have just returned from my first Camino, I too have an Osprey tempest pack and it was brilliant. The best thing I did, apart from separating items into different coloured drysacks according to their use (i.e. Clothing, medical, toiletries etc) was to keep a spare pair of socks and foot cream...

    Rucksack size

    Many thanks, I think the xs/s will probably fit me but I need to go and get measured properly !

    Rucksack size

    Hi all, can anyone please help me with rucksack size? I will be walking 2 weeks of the Camino Frances in July/August. I am looking at either the Osprey Tempest 30 or the 40 L. Whatever I take needs to fit the carry on cabin regulations so I am concerned the 40L may not meet those specifications...
