Hi folks

Thanks

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Richard,

For an in depth discussion of the EXTREME late winter weather on the Camino Frances during this current year see this comprehensive Forum thread, Re: IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off in March 2013/April 2013 begun by fellow Forum member Navarricano >> el-camino-frances/topic16961-200.html#p125882

Whenever you walk whatever the season you must BE PREPARED. Even today snow at elevations higher than 1000 meters was the forecast.

Margaret is right...people walking over two days ago - May 15th! - were walking in blizzard-like conditions. Snow, sleet, high winds. That makes for a long, hard, yet memorable walk!

Bless you both
