Dear Camino Friends on the Forum
10 days before I get on the plane at Gatwick to fly to Biarritz... am feeling super excited, but also nervous! Questions such as 'will I be be able to finish the Walk?', 'What if I dont make any friends...?' etc etc.... I was initially to fly from Stansted but decided to ditch that ticket and fly a day earlier to explore SJPDP for an extra day, so will get into Biarritz around 1500 hours. I hope the trains are working as hoping to train to St Jean. My pack is packed - spent quite a bit of ££ on my pack and clothing etc.... finally settled on an Osprey Exos 48 rather than my Berghaus as I do get quite sweaty on my several walks over the 2 years I had it. My pack currently weighs 5.5 kg without water. I bought a smarttube for fluids - just loved it! Tried it several times and I think its a great invention.... better than a bladder! I have booked my accomodation up to Formista..... and, after reading the forums, decided not to book anymore as the rush for beds appeared to have eased ... or not?
So.... thanks EVERYONE on this forum for your advice, ideas, videos etc..... have read/watched quite a number of the thousands of threads posted.... so THANK YOU ALL! xx
