- CF April/May (2016), starting in St. Palais, France
I've done 5 days walking so far, starting in St. Palais. Was able to cross the Napoleon Route, although still some snow on the pass. A beautiful day, except for the wind. Those who came up later got caught in a nasty storm, though. I was very glad I had stopped at Orisson to get an early start on the day.
And I feel great! Tired, of course, but the advice received here has made all the difference. My pack is 6 kilograms, with a front pack of another 1.3 kilogram, plus water. Together I feel balanced and light.
Thoughts so far on my gear. I'm glad I brought my light sleeping quilt. Haven't needed it in some places, but have an others. Glad I brought the leggings, which I wore last night to sleep in here in Zubiri. Left home the synthetic down jacket and rain pants, and haven't needed them. The one thing I left that I wish I had is the flat piece of rubber to use as a sink stopper. A sock in a bag is not a good alternative.
Ultreya!
