  Thursday 21 November, Campo do Gerês to Lobios. Today wasn't an extra short day, nor an extra long one. At just over 25.5 km, it took just over 7 hours duration (about 6.5 hours walking). Add an extra hour to the finish time because I am back...

  I used it for the Via Podiensis this spring. Liked the size and weight. No dedicated place for a water bladder and no shoulder "lifters" on the pack. I'm looking at another one for next time.

  I Have a Gossamer Kumo 36. Have done a number of Camino's with it including some lengthy ones. Love it and moulds to my body. Hardly know it is there! My back does get sweatier as unlike my previous Osprey this pack sits right on my back. Also...

  Too big and too heavy for my personal taste, but i like Gossamer packs. They are well built and beginner friendly. Also some nice features. Personally i regard the G4 as a weird in-between and not my favorite. If you want to go light, theres the...

  I like your proposal in the second paragraph. I will ask my second contact person, employed in the relevant Navarra government department, about that. Another comment, from my spy on the ground was that they will not use concrete for the Zubiri...
