    Back in March I had every intention of carrying my gear with my 10% weight max + water.... (my body weight is quite low). After months and probably 12+ hours added up of trying packs on at various places and even having a sweet conversation with...

    Ah, no really, that doesn't usually happen with the chest strap attached .. it all comes down to individual bodies and the only answer to that is to spend a day in three camping shops trying them all on! (loaded with stuff from the shelves.) Good...

    Thanks a lot for every single answer in this thread, very helpful 👍🙏. I am now awaiting the missing 2 packs, the Rab is definitely going back, it feels not right somehow. Should the Montane or the Gregory not fit, I will then move on and order a...

    Hi David, I find when I have this (with Osprey Hikelite 26) that the pack sways a bit and rubs against my neck. Any suggestions? I'm currently stuffy rolled bandanas or washcloths under them to protect my neck. Thanks, Kris

    Thanks, Anhalter. Any tips on how to pack a frameless/floppy pack? I leave soon and still between two packs. Neither is ideal, but the best I could find after months of searching. Osprey Hikelite 26 with frame, trampoline back, and thin strap for...

    Admittedly, i am about 1kg lighter than you are, but i have been using frameless packs for all my caminos so far. Packed correctly, they work really well and i think you might consider them with your stated weight. I have had trouble finding one...

    Or you could go just under 5km past Sarria and spend the rest of the day at Casa Barbadelo, lazing beside the pool! Partly it depends what you like to do - birdwatching, art galleries, shopping, rock scrambling? As someone else has said, there is...

    Samos is a great detour but is actually a small place with a really large historic monastery. The beauty of the Samos option is the really nice walk both in and out. If you take the Samos route (which is really lovely), and leave the next...

    Having made some miscalculations in our planning and reservations (which unfortunately we have to do ahead of time because of needing luggage transfers) we will have an extra day or some really short days somewhere after O Cebreiro. (Planning to...
