  Oh, sorry. I thought Peterexpatkiwi was referring to this one, which to me is one the great Camino iconic scenes. I am also intrigued about where the sprawling big while house is.

  I think he might be referring to the house on the hill amid the vineyards a couple kms before Villafranca del Bierzo.

  I have used a 24L Osprey for two previous caminos and will be using it again starting next week. On the two previous Caminos before the 24L, I had a Gregory 36. I have only walked in May-September. So, no sleeping bag. In each of the two Caminos...

  That would have been a good April 1 post. I intended to post this for April 1, but forgot: "I finally got inijii toe socks. I think I like really like them, but it would be helpful if like other technical socks, they were marked to indicate...

- Bob Howard replied to the thread 1,000 Miles in a Lumbar Pack: Ultralight Camino de Santiago Packing List.
  
  In the past I have been a lone voice in the Camino wilderness questioning the need to carry so much water (except for perhaps two or three partial stages) given that water is available pretty much every 3-8 kms. But this is a topic fraught with...
