    Beat Those Cabin Baggage Nazis!

    I look forward to hearing what your thoughts are after a practical test as I'm basing my opinions solely on the pictures on the website. I can see it being very useful for the evenings or wandering around town after the day's walking is done.

    Great Boots vs. Two Pairs of Walking Shoes

    I'm aware that you've already bought your boots but I would offer this one piece of advice. I went with a lighter pair of boots for my first Camino (for much the same reasons as yourself), however I found that the soles offered less support and cushioning than was necessary on the rougher roads...
