    Time for a Sock thread!

    Bridgedale socks have worked well for me. Smartwool too. The main thing is to have flat-seamed toes on them. I used to do the 2 socks thing, and did so on my 1st camino. On my second and 3rd caminos, i didnt bother. I have had a single blister on each camino. Not too bad. Funny Highlandshiker...

    Please cast a critical eye over my kit list (for a female travelling in August)

    Thanks for those suggestions. I have added some safety pins to my kit. Ear plugs have also been added! I will look out for alternative lighter coloured trousers, but dont have much time before I leave, so I may end up having to try and make do, going shopping in spain if necessary.

    Please cast a critical eye over my kit list (for a female travelling in August)

    Thanks for all the really helpful replies. These forums are the best! I think I will bring a long sleeve blouse, since several people suggest it, and may swap one of my trousers for shorts.

I can't stand polyester dri-fit t-shirts, cos I find they stink really badly with moderate activity (ie sweating!), and if I am hand washing, the smell may...

    I also have really narrow feet (especially heels), so need the kind of sandals which adjust everywhere on your foot. Merrell Chameleon II convertibles were my favourites ever ( I loved those sandals!), but I have also had some success with Teva Terra Fi's and Karrimor Kiwis.

    Thanks Arn, Good point about tp. Supermarkets here sometimes sell a "travel roll" without the tube. I have taken these to India in the past, and they made me very popular with my travelling companions! My pack has a rain cover.

    Please cast a critical eye over my kit list (for a female travelling in August)

    Thanks Tia. I will pick up my credencial in Spain. I was wondering about a long sleeve top, so may swap one of my short sleeves for a long sleeve one.

    Please cast a critical eye over my kit list (for a female travelling in August)

    I set off in a week, and this is what I am planning to take at the moment. If you see any glaringly obvious omissions, or places to shave off weight, I'd like to receive your constructive criticism.
