After 2+ years of planning, on retirement, countless hours of dreaming, preparing physically and mentally as best I could I leave in a week.

The adventure spans 3 countries, 5 separate Camino routes, 2,400 kilometres, 100 days, an estimated 600 villages, towns and cities to walk through.

If interested here is my blog (can subscribe to receive blog entries as they are posted). I especially welcome any comments on my latest blog posting on Packing. A real challenge in itself!

Wish me luck...hope to meet some of you at some point.

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 Guy, sounds great....lucky you :D Sounds like you are in for a marvellous experience!
Best of luck from Ireland.

May the good saints protect you,
And bless you today.
And may troubles ignore you,
Each step of the way

Buen Camino's,

Aidan :)
 
What an amazing journey this will be. I'm following!
We might just bump into each other on the Francès.

Buen camino!
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi, Guy,
This is one of those impossible dream caminos for those of us who are still working. Congrats on your retirement -- I can't think of a better way to celebrate!

I look forward to reading your blog and send all the best wishes for a wonderful camino. Laurie
 
Thanks for your words of advice and blog comments on ways to reduce weight and what to look out for. Much appreciated!

The most frequent comment received to reduce weight is to PDF as much information as possible, including guide books, and send it to my email address and save it on my iPad. I will look into this this week!
