Hi all

I wanted to say hi, I didnt realise how long it would take me just to do that! So hello :) I am hoping, no, going to do The Camino in September 2012 and already the advice I have read on here is extremely helpful. Its wonderful to read about all the different things that you have experienced and read about people that like me are new to the journey.

Hope to contribute and be involved lots more but for now I have completed my first step - saying hello :D

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hi Miranda,
Welcome to the forum. September should be a nice time to walk the Frances Route.
Enjoy your planning, ask anything you're not sure about.
Buen Camino.
