If it’s going under a Ryanair seat then you’re going to be limited to 20 litres or less. At that size, and only carrying a day’s essentials, the format and construction is pretty immaterial.Hello everyone, my wife and I are going to walk from Sarria, and we will be having our bags taken to the next hostal everyday. What I need is just a day bag to carry the essentials, rain gear (will be in March), sticks, head torch, mobile phone plus battery, water, store my jacket of fleece if its too hot or cold. Oh and snacks, deffo snacks!!
Maybe other stuff i have forgotten about?
I just cannot visualize what size of bag i need, it also has to fit under RyanAir seats for the trip.
Any ideas tips would be greatly appreciated.
I think that’s a moot point depending on how physically large you are. A 20l pack on a large ish male would have to be as thin as a drainpipe to have the length to fit a hip-belt which functioned as weight-bearing. On a small-ish female frame I’d agree.I recommend that you have a proper pack (although small) with both hip belt and sternum strap, to suppoet even 2-3 kg.
Thank you great advice, so what size day bag did you use for this type of trip, if I may ask how many litres?When I've transported my main pack I always carried in my daypack a weeks worth of my regular meds plus my little first aid kit. I also carried my flip flops because sometimes you can arrive before your pack and in an albergue you have to take off the footwear you've walked in. I also had room to stow my thin fleece if I'd started the day in an extra layer.
Whatever your kit or clothes it's always handy to try it out at home to check it works for you.
I chose a Deuter Speed Lite 23 SL .Thank you great advice, so what size day bag did you use for this type of trip, if I may ask how many litres?
Zonnbrand crème!!Als het onder een Ryanair-stoel gaat, ben je beperkt tot 20 liter of minder. Bij dat formaat, en met slechts de essentiële benodigdheden voor een dag, zijn het formaat en de constructie vrij onbelangrijk.
Het heeft weinig zin om voor de hogere prijsklasse te gaan; Ik zou een bezoek aan Decathalon of iets dergelijks aanraden.

A day bag is really a second bag. Instead, use a backpack with the assumption you are not using baggage transport. On the days you use baggage transport place everything being transported in a ikea blue bag. Your backpack with just day pack items will weigh next to nothing.Hello everyone, my wife and I are going to walk from Sarria, and we will be having our bags taken to the next hostal everyday.

Hi Wildhogget, I did this stretch with my hubby a few years back; you'll love it! We carried our packs, as I've done a few routes (1 week only each trip!) & my pack gets lighter each time. Once it's well padded on the back area & has a waist & chest strap (so your hands are 'free' for poles, drinks, phone/camera/map etc. Don't 4get transfer to Sarria from SdC? You can maybe share a taxi with others? Contact your albergue in Sarria to check others arriving (flight) same day. There is train/bus also I think? It's 2 hours away. We had pick-up arranged; pricey, but worth it to arrive early evening, check-in, eat & sleep before 1st day walking.

Don't 4get Compeed plasters & Panadol for your first aid kit; always handy to have a few, tho you can purchase en route also. Gloves are handy for 'March of many weathers'! Transport to Sarria sorted? Don't pack too many snacks; lots of cafes/shops on this route .. but bring your favs of courseHello everyone, my wife and I are going to walk from Sarria, and we will be having our bags taken to the next hostal everyday.

Wow that is a ton of advice, thank you so much, well I actually live in Spain, and will be going from BCN to SDC, by plane as mentioned, then I have organized transport to take us to Sarria.Hi Wildhogget, I did this stretch with my hubby a few years back; you'll love it!

Neck bandana has multi-uses & dries fast. Rain cover for your backpack! Often included in bottom-zipped section of back pack. Rain gear & comfortable footwear/socks imperative in March ... miserable if you get soaked early in day! Pack 'sense of humour' & 'go with the flow attitude' also ... & every day be an adventure! Did this route with hubby also, but we carried our packs. Enjoy your 'journey' & Buen Camino!

Smallest backpack with good padding or a crossbag, 10-20l.I just cannot visualize what size of bag i need, it also has to fit under RyanAir seats for the trip.

Thanks for the heads up, basically it is a cabin size wheelie, so hopefully no problemo there.Further thought: if you’re sending a bag ahead you might consider making it a rucksack. Depending on your chosen style of accommodation ‘suitcases’ might not be accepted.
My personal experience of many (certainly not all able-bodied ‘bag shippers’ is that they’re in more upmarket lodgings where this is not an issue.
Hola! If by sticks you mean hiking poles, then be mindful that airport security and/or the airline might not let you bring them on-board. If you were planning to put them in your suitcase for the cargo hold, then you're OK. I think that considering your list the 18-20 Liter recommendations will work for you. I'd suggest finding one that may have a water reservoir and straps to carry things on the outside as well (like the sticks).

Thank you very much for the heads up, as a frequent traveller, I guessed than and although we only have hand lugage, I will have to send them in a cardboard tube in the hold. Some people get lucky and get through but not worth the risk. Even the other day on board a plane a women was sitting there knitting with the longest needles I have ever seen, how is that possible??Hola!
