I used walking poles in 2009 on Camino but also on a variety of other walks over the years including long distance non stop charity walks and wilderness overnighters.
I find them fantastic in taking some of the pressure off my knees on downhill, help me keep balance when on rough terrain and...
I guess everyone needs to find their own preference. We have walked in many countries and thousands of kilometres including the CF in 2009 with our Deuter 32 as described with the ventilation gap and can't speak highly enough. We will be using them again in 2014 as well. As many have said in...
Hi kaixo
Great to hear you use the Deuter Futura
It seldom gets mentioned on the forum but I also use one and have for many years.
Yes it's built for women but I am 1800mm man and have used it for CF in 2009, many multi day walks in Australia and NZ plus almost every week on business travel...

Both my wife and I use deuter 32 futura's
One of these packs we have used for over 6 years and it is still going strong
They are good quality, well designed and certainly come with our recommendations

Hi all
Whilst we are not starting our Camino until early April 2013 - another 55 weeks ( we have started to count down) at this point our intention is to take an IPad 2 with us.
The weight (almost 900 grams with the cover)is a concern.
It does allow for skype communications, emails, banking...
Hi MalcolmRobert
I completed the frances Camino in 2009 from STJPP with my wife and we are planning to repeat the experience in May 2013
In 2009 I took very expensive boots that I had used on many wilderness type walks where they had never given me trouble. Additionally I took my favourite...
