Starting Camino Oct 2nd, going shopping for gear in 2 days!

Jonathon · Sep 16, 2013

I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances, leaving October 2nd and need to finish by Nov 12th.

At the moment I have nothing but a packing list...

Among some other smaller things I'm planning on buying

Good waterproof running shoes (not hiking boots)
Rain jacket
1 quick dry long sleeve shirt
1 quick dry short sleeve shirt
1 pair of rainproof/quick dry long pants
1 pair of shorts
Beanie
Gloves
2 pairs of quick dry underwear
2 (?) pairs of socks??
1 sleeping bag liner thing

Will I need a fleece in october? More shirts? Any suggestions?

If it is chilly, will you be warm wearing the underwear, short sleeve shirt, long sleeve shirt, and rain jacket? If the answer is "no," then take the fleece!

Haha, I guess the answer is I don't know! How chilly does it get? Maybe I will take a light fleece "just in case". I'm sure I wont regret it

Don´t forget a packet of tissues.

Buen Camino!

Jonathon: My packing list is similar to yours, but I did get a very small sleeping bag and a microfiber (quick dry) towel. I start my Camino Sept. 24 from Roncesvalles. Buen Camino!

A message has just been posted on the Facebook account of the albergue in Roncesvalles. It seems the combination of pilgrim numbers beyond their capacity and poor weather has made this a difficult...

I’m on the Camino Frances since April 4. I just finished the Meseta and it feels unpleasantly busy and has since the beginning. No time time to smell the roses or draw much. There is a sense from...

Hello, I'll be starting the Camino soon and there's one bit of it that worries me. The descent from Collado de Lepoeder to Roncesvalles seems quite steep (according to the Wise Pilgrim app) which...

Hi everyone. My name is Nika. I plan to take my backpack, and go on Camino in the end of the next week. I still don’t know how will I get from Kyiv to France. And what city should I come to… I...
