Time of past OR future Camino
I haven't done the Camino yet, the plan is to do it 2020 or 2021. So here for information/research.
Hello, previous lurker of the forum that just registered. I found out about the Camino from an ex-girlfriend of mine and it's one my bucket list of things to go (hopefully in 2020). I need to get in better shape again and get back to the weird hobby I have that got me in good shape (Rucking) before. I posted a more in-depth intro in the Class of 2020 thread (https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/class-of-2020.58941/#post-685830), so won't rattle on here. I'm here to research, gather information, plan and ask questions of those who have done the Camino. This will be my first one and first multi-day hike.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
Welcome Mapanggulo. All the best in your Camino preparation, the anticipation is half the fun and I'm sure there'll be plenty of people here to help with your questions.

Buen Camino,

Rob.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Rucking? Sounds painful and possibly slightly illegal ? :oops:

LoL... it's actually not bad if you build up to it, the events are challenging though but fun really. Beats the hell out of running for me.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
