[QUOTE="Frank Mestre, post: 627592, member: 67903"] Hi I am in Finistierre at the end of my 35 day 910km. 1st. Camino. My advice whilst still fresh is this. What you wil need. 35k back pack. Smallest sleeping bag you can afford. 2 t shirts, 1 pair of walking shorts, 1 poncho, I pair of long comfy trousers. I pair walking sandles 1 pair light walking boots. 1 fleece, 1 waterproof jacket, belt and pouch to carry wallet, passport, credenciales. 2 pairs of good walking socks, 2 pairs of pants/ knickers, 1 lightweight quick drying Towel. Blister plasters, toothpaste, brush, a soap in a holder, perhaps shampoo or small shower gell use these for washing cloths whilst showering. Mobil charger, ear plugs. You can buy 600ml. Iboprofen in Spain and very cheap. You will need on average 30euro per day. Sleep/ evening pilgrims menu/ breakfast/ beer. Try to find a supermarket buy rolls and fillings and make your lunch. A bottle of wine goes a long way for around 1-2 Euro. Book SJPdP Albergue. Start early 6-6.30am. you should arrive a Rondesvalles around 3pm. Book monestry, just in case you gat delayed. If your going for a long stretch then book an Albergue for security just in case you arrive later. This also gives you the luxury of taking it easy. I’ve seen many people having to walk another 5-10km because of albergues being fully booked. Remember if you decide you don’t want the booking you can cancel at any point. Try to make companions early with people who you feel comfortable with, get up at the same times and walk at your pace more or less. Even if you don’t always walk Accompanied it’s always good to get together at the end of the day and have a laugh. I loved chatting to many people and it was great to occasionally come across those same people at different times during the Camino. I never felt alone and yet I often walked alone. We started a watts app group and we kept in touch. I’ve just said goodbye to a walking partner and it was very sad. Buen camino. [/QUOTE]
