suggestions….
Thx….!!
Came in on the very early morning of St James day. Tired and happy. Here is my top tips;

Early mornings and half the days stage by 11-1200 for lower second part paces

Protect your head from heatstroke with something you can drown in a fuente

Book ahead if possible or at least call to check availability for non reserve places.

Sufficient water and/or electrolytes as second bladder weighs nothing.

Carry anti inflammatory dexketoprofeno gel/tablets for yourself and caminandes

Go light as low weight will make you have more range if needed/emergency

Eating good and resting even better will make restitution a dream.

Engage and care for those on path that just need a tiny bit more positive energy.

Washable dark coulered face mask ready on your wrist at all times you’re not alone

In Tricastela, Albergues full. This will be the case from now on, I expect. Best to book ahead, carry a tent or arrive early. The race is on ....
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.
