hi--i'm new, and i have some questions--how bizarre, preposterous, unreasonable is it to consider walking the camino in medieval clothing? i am obsessed with the idea and am trying to figure out how feasible it is.

i am also debating exactly what to do about a backpack. i likely will make most of the my actual walking clothes out of linen and silk. but would plan on a wool cloak of some sort. i also use modern deodorant.
Yes and you should really be asking your treating doctor the second question. We cannot know the status of your condition and whether and where suitable treatment might be available should that become necessary.orlaithballach said:unrelated question: i have a chronic disease (CML) which worries me far more i guess, than the clothes, when i think through it. since i was diagnosed sept 2011, i've lost lots of muscle mass, etc.
do people who are sick walk this? is it stupid for me to try?
