    Camelbak

    That's what I did. I had the rucksack from my trip the previous year but one observation was that I probably didn't drink enough because it was awkward to get to the water. Therefore, this year I invested in a water bladder (to be honest, I can't remember if it is camel-branded or just a...

    Camelbak

    I took a 1L model this year. I also carried a couple of 500ml bottles in the side pouches of my rucksack, with which I could top up the camel pack later in day. That seemed to work out okay - I was covering about 20-25km a day and the weather was warm but overcast at times. 3L is quite a lot...

    uses for a walking stick

    A good list! Most people can walk without a stick but carrying one (or two) is far from a sign of weakness. I'd say that (from the couple of caminos I have done), the majority carry something in that line, although there is a rich variety in form and usage. Wulf

    Mobile phone

    You could look into some kind of mobile charging device. I didn't take my phone with me earlier this summer but I did take a Palm Pilot. I'd been pondering whether to buy one for a long time and what finally swung me towards making the purchase (with the trip in mind) was finding a device that...

    Wooden Walking Sticks or Modern Trekking Poles

    Last year my wife and I arrived a couple of days early and stayed with local friends. On a day trip to Castro de Baroña, on the Galician coast, I found an excellent pine branch that became my trusty walking staff for our week on the Camino: I decided it was too large to bring back with...

    Camping

    I travelled with a group last year (and am going again this year) and we camped at seven spots from O'Cebreiro to Santiago. We did have a support vehicle, which took the tents and other bulky equipment, but I don't think there were any problems camping at any of the places we stopped (although I...

    Wifi access?

    As mentioned elsewhere, I'm planning to take my new Palm Pilot on my camino this year. One of it's features is built in wireless networking. I don't want to spend too much time being technical (I enjoyed not being online for a week last year) but my wife is staying at home this year and I...

    To take a book or not

    Last year, I took one of my lighter Bibles, a sketch book and a big fat novel. I read a few chapters of the latter but not enough to want to carry the same weight this year. Since I've recently got a Palm Pilot, I'm going to load it with one or twe ebooks and rely on that. I'll probably take a...

    boots or hiking trainers

    Last year (walking from O'Cebreiro over 7 days), I took medium weight leather walking boots, a cheap pair of trainers and sandals for the shower. The boots were good but where rubbing my ankles by the end of the week so the last couple of days were done with the trainers. This year, I'm going...
