I walked with @JohnnieWalker's guide. Donated, downloaded and printed it out before leaving. There are probably other things that might be added, but I would just suggest you take it easy and enjoy it as much as you can.Hope I'm not hi-jacking this thread but am off on the Ingles this week and although fit and healthy, feel as if I've never been less prepared. I'll definitely be bringing a walking pole but just wondering if any Camino Ingles veterans had any last minute advice for a very last minute person?
Hello!
I'm trying to decide on appropriate gear for my Camino next month. Is the terrain fairly flat and paved, or is it more rugged, requiring walking poles and shoes with traction?
Susan,I am no expert walker,but you can walk the Ingles in runners plus a poncho(and I did not take poles). No sweat. Couple of decent hills, which I enjoyed, but no big deal. Nice scenery,easy peasy,no problems. I loved it. Was like a Sunday stroll if you take YOUR own time . One foot in front of the other and you are there!

Thanks for any information you can share.

P.S. Meson-Museo was great.Walked last September.Plenty of rain.I do not like poles and did not feel at all disadvantaged wiyhout them. However,my wife and daughter both said they were glad they brought theirs.
So make of that what you will.
Thinking about it,that is not a very helpful answer is it? Sorry!

Have to agree with you about Meson-museo. Stopped there this morning and had an incredible bocadillo with tortilla. Freshly made and good coffee too. Paintings amazing and the lady who runs the place is fantastic. Beautiful building and super clean toilet. A real find, especially after leaving Betanzos at 7am. Tough days walking, I have to add.
Just on the way home now and also just checking in. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, Maggie! Fabulous but tough in places. Loved it.@epona2011, you must be a day ahead of me. I stopped in Meson-Museo for breakfast yesterday. Fab place. Have stopped in Sigüero today to enable a short stroll into Santiago in the morning. Buen Camino, Maggie
