Hello
I will start the El Norte at the end of september, I got a lot of informations in this forum abd I have the Wise P app. and I am wondering if a paper guide is necessary and if yes, would the Wise Pilgrim paper be a good choice.

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.
I do not think you need a paper guide
 
I used the Wise Pilgrim both paper and digital. It is a great tool.

We used the Camino Places app. A great gps app.
 
I would carry both app and paper. Devices can and will fail. One trip, my phone was dead for three days. When the battery was finally down to zero, then a recharge brought it back to life. Another trip I was using the Whitson Northern Caminos guidebook, and lost the book. Luckily, had the Kindle version on my phone.
 
Thanks I will order the paper guide today, it will also be part of the pleasure of the preparation.

I used Dave Whitsen's book along with wise pilgrim, and other digital sources but found the website gronze.com to be my go to.
 
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.

€149,-
thanks I am for sure really interested in the coastal alternatives and my paper copy of the W Pilgrim is on it‘s way now, just hoping that the sky will be fairly clear of the 19.
