How much of the trail is on roads? Is it worth carrying a backpack that has wheels for rolling on tarmac? It sure beats carrying everything on your back for 500 miles!!

sillydoll said:If you are referring to the Camino Frances, then the Brierley guide is the one to look at.
The guide splits the miles for each day into “paths –quiet roads – main roads” and the 798kms from St Jean works out like this:
505 km on paths/tracks
202.6km on quiet roads (mostly through small villages)
90.6km on main roads
Personally, I think that to have to pull my pack on wheels would turn out to be somewhat uncomfortable.
