Definitely water bottles- easier to see what I have drunk and what is left. Easier to wash and clean. And easy to replace if they get damaged or are leaking.
I have used both bladders and bottles with drinking tube.
Ensuring adequate hydration is essential, and both methods allow for sufficient water to be carried.
By using a drinking tube, both methods allow for easy water access.
But which one...
We always treat every Camino and for that matter everything we do as if it it could be our last. We need to do what we can do, while we can still do it!
I've watched my parents physically decline rapidly in recent years and it has spurred me to...
Like many of my Camino buddies, the years are passing away and while I am not done, I do wonder how many more Caminos are in this 69 year old body. Having walked over 13,000 kilometers on The Camino since that late August day in 2015 when I...

Bit of wishful thinking here.
We were looking at our options over lunch today.
I'd love to retire, but can't unfortunately.
But I can work remotely.
And ease back my working hours a bit.
I'm hoping to walk a fair few more Caminos before age and...
This is absolutely the case, the same goes with forwarding baggage etc. I'm not dismissing them out of hand, they have their place, but you have a couple of months to do your own research and make up your own mind.
I’m with Flog and Robo. I don’t do any planning if walking the Camino Francés. Catch a bus or train to where i intend to start walking, and walk. No need to book anything, let alone a company organise it.
