Hey all,

Anybody else planning to start walking at the beginning of April then .....
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

When the sweet showers of April have pierced to the root the dryness of March
and bathed every vein in moisture by which strength are the flowers brought forth;
when Zephyr also with his sweet breath has given spirit to the tender new shoots in the grove and field,
and the young sun has run half his course through Aries the Ram,
and little birds make melody and sleep all night with an open eye, so nature pricks them in their hearts;
then people long to go on pilgrimages to renowned shrines in various distant lands, and palmers to seek foreign shores.
G. Chaucer
Buen Camino
 
GIVE me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory, hope's true gage;
And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.

Blood must be my body's balmer;
No other balm will there be given:
Whilst my soul, like quiet palmer,
Travelleth towards the land of heaven;
Over the silver mountains,
Where spring the nectar fountains;
There will I kiss
The bowl of bliss;
And drink mine everlasting fill
Upon every milken hill.
My soul will be a-dry before;
But, after, it will thirst no more.

He seems to have known the value of a light pack. Buen Camino to all Spring pilgrims.

After Sarria, watch for 6 people from the US walking together. Two men (one of which is me) and four women. Look for my wide brim felt hat with a scallop shell sewn to the side.
