- Frances 04-16
Norte/Primitivo 09-16
VdlP/ Sanabres 02/3-17
Levante 09/17,
Ruta de la Lana 09/18
Shortly about to commence VdlP from Seville with the intention/ambition of an R V with my partner when she flies into Santiago late March. It has been a while since I was last in Seville and this time I will take the opportunity to visit Italica....a long held ambition.
The following is my pack list refined from previous Caminos but taking into account the fact it's February. Total weight comes in at about 6.5 kg but this excludes water (will be carrying 1lt) and food. Realistically the max weight should be about 8 kg.
Ruck Sack again using my lightweight Vango Khumbu 50 ltr
Bivvy Bag. waterproof, breathable, tried and tested offering complete flexibility for overnight stops.
Snug Pak Sleeping Bag rated at a comfort level of 2 degrees - not overly sure I believe this rating but I have a plan. I will upgrade the rating by wearing my down jacket should need arise. This is a replacement for my down bag which I wrecked trying to clean it !
Cut down mat.
Clothing (including what I will be wearing).
Waterproof jacket.
Waterproof trousers.
2 x Craghopper trekking trousers.
2 x wicking T Shirts.
2 x wicking long sleeve tops.
1 x mid layer fleece.
Down Jacket (400g)
Boxers
Socks
Boots. Sticking to my UK army surplus Altberg Defenders. They managed the Norte/Primivito last year with hardly any wear and no blisters or feet issues for me (my Karrimor fabric boots were wrecked on the Frances and the soles worn through). The Altbergs are lightweight and waterproof to a reasonable degree although I have to carry wax to reproof them now and again.
Lightweight flip flops.
Gloves and Cap
Kit. Guidebook by Gerald Kelly updated 2016 following his Camino in Feb of that year. Note book, pen and reading glasses . Compass. Whistle and Emergency Blanket. Head Torch and spare AAA Batteries. Small first aid kit. Basic sewing kit plus safety pins. Spare lace and para cord. Mobile phone and charger. Micro towel and toiletries (taking soap this time as opposed to shower gel). Skin cream. Opinal pocket knife. MP3 Player - powered by AAA battery. No weight but weighty decision to pack it or not. I have resolved not to listen to it whilst walking but it will be something to listen to whilst sleeping out watching the shooting stars and satellites go by.
Passport and Credencial. 2 x .5 lt plastic water bottles.
For what its worth.
Buen Camino.
