What’s it like? I’m on my way from Vézelay...

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.

Hi @filly
I’m too far away to be any help to you.
very envious though -
From what I’ve read of others lucky enough to be on the way during this time - there appears to be accommodation options one way or the other at the moment.

Problems in France as most municipal gîtes are closed...

Unsurprising as not only is it now the tourist off-season, but tourists have been very thin on the ground this year for the obvious reason, so that many touristy businesses etc. having no local patronage to rely on have kept shut.
 
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.

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.

Staying near St Palais. Have met no other walkers let alone pilgrims for about four days. Weather appalling today with about three hours of heavy rain and string westerly wind. Hiked about 36 kms from Orthez. St Jean tomorrow after a late start (Saturday breakfast at the Logis is 9 am). I have not had a rest day so this makes up for it.

Photo of medieval bridge at Orthez this morning.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
