Hi all, having found this forum very helpful in helping us prepare for our Camino in April 2007, I decided I had better join. My husband & I are doing the Camino Frances in April/May and I have to say one of the best parts so far has been all the preparations and anticipation. Reading all the posts has been great and I have learnt so much. Still lots of questions in my mind tho, boots or shoes?, walking pole or no?, just what to take and what to leave behind? As I say half the fun is the preparations!
