AWhen I first trained, I pushed myself a little, and found an area on my foot that was getting tender - a classic 'hotspot'. I took a piece of lambs wool large enough to cover it plus 50% on either side - best guess something around 75/100...

AI carry only a little- enough for one hot-spot. I have found prevention better than cure for blisters - well fitting shoes, only one pair of good socks (double socks caused my feet to overheat), airing my feet out, and checking for any issues...

AAusPeregrina replied to the thread How much lambswool to bring?.Thank you for sharing this. It's great advice. I'll make sure I start getting in long consecutive hikes towards the end. I've plotted a 25 km route around my city that I'll do soon to gauge my timing. I want an idea of how I pull up after that. I...

AAusPeregrina replied to the thread Camino del Norte: Irun - SDC, April-May 2025.Thank you. Likewise, will August be really hot? For me, over over 5-7 kg would start causing me issues day after day. I have a nice 36 litre day pack that I took out today, which was about that weight, but I really need a smaller, more compact...

Haha.
The difference in weight among my Osprey Stratos 44L and my wife's Sirrus 26L is 470g (1670 vs. 1200 g). I guess the 33L is halfway (+250 or so). To be honest I don't even feel the difference when I use her backpack (as I do time by time). And I... -
AAusPeregrina replied to the thread How much lambswool to bring?.I'm curious, how many km are you doing a day while training in the lead up to your trips? Do you double sock?

I walked the del Norte at that time last year. I had my luggage transported twice, once by TransVizcaya and once by Trans-Mikel. Both times it was arranged by the hotels I was staying at. They have websites but the online booking was not...

AAusPeregrina replied to the thread Camino del Norte: Irun - SDC, April-May 2025.Thanks. I guess a lot will also depend on the weather. It sounds like it can vary a bit depending on the year.

To clarify my comment on heating, the albergues economize on energy use, whereas in pensiones and hotels it is usually under your control. Albergue dorm rooms were warm enough for sleeping (with all the warm bodies in them) but common rooms...

AI wanted to spend more than just a few hours overnight in San Sebastián, so arriving there from Pasajes de San Juan around 11am was perfect. I had booked in at a pensión where I was able to leave my backpack at reception until my room was ready...
