I have read to keep your pack weight to 10% of your body weight...I am curious how petite people keep their pack that light! Is it possible to carry all you need under 5-5.5 kg including the pack?
My husband and I are turning 50 this year...so together we are 100! For our Century Celebration, we are walking from Madrid to Santiago in May/June. This will be our first Camino. I am very excited and a bit nervous about not having it all planned out (reservations for sleeping specifically). I have a lot to learn between now and May!
Our daughter will start a study abroad that begins mid May in Madrid, so we will travel from USA together and depart from there.
I am looking forward to the walking and being in Spain. I must admit that I am very excited that I won't have to carry a tent and camp stove on our hike, but apprehensive about not knowing exactly where I will be sleeping each night! I am hoping that I am not too late in planning for our stops, as it appears that portions from Madrid have minimal accommodations available.
I love reading people's blogs (especially those going from Madrid, as there are not many guide books).
Thank you all taking the time to post about your walk!
