- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances ( March 2015 )
Camino Portugues ( September 2015 )
With three weeks to go my packing and unpacking is becoming an aerobic workout ! I know it's likely to be
cold so I've concentrated on layering. I'm resigned to probably having 3 or more days back to back when I'll
be walking in rain so I've tried to think how I can avoid having to put wet gear on in the morning. I'm also
guessing that I can't guarantee to get things dried quickly at this time of year. Any thoughts on inclusions / omissions would be welcome. Gracias.

be lighter ( Body and pack ) but not at the expense of blisters, safety etc. Comments welcome.
