    Northbound or Southbound

    So i wlaked it Northband , quite an adventure i would say . Couple of observations - yes most of the people are doing FT Southband but actually i didnt missed the social aspect . The most frustrating part in some sections was the tailwind as @jungleboy said (i had the sun on my back but the wind...

    34 or 38 L pack

    I used to own Exos 38 and Stratos 36 , with the Exos there is always room to put something extra (for some this is no a benefit ..) one thing you should know with the previous model size L/G was equal to 41L think it will fit you (Osprey have cool app to determine what is the proper size/model...

    Backpack: UL vs. Structured vs. In-between

    I completed Camino del Norte and Fisherman’s trail with Gregory Focal 38 , for me it is one of the best backpacks for Camino . It just has everything I need . To name a few - suspension system is great , all pockets are spacious, it is one of the lightest for it class .

    And now to the backpack..

    In my experience you just have to add their Priority option , with one backpack and priority option i never had any issues with Ryanair or Wizzair .

    RIP Theros adventures

    I just read an article about the death of couple . I recognised the couple from their you tube channel Theros adventures . They have really nice Camino videos . One of the few del Norte videos that I have watched from start to finish actually. Rest in peace ...

    Is this the right Camino for me? - Planning September 2024

    I’ve done Primitivo when I was in my worst shape 3 years ago ( home office + lockdown = 18 kg overweight ) and I had 2 inguinal hernia operations previous year . It is more challenging Camino but it is shorter and you can combine it with 3-4 days of walks to finistere and Muxia - not bad for...

    Preparing my camino del norte

    This year I walked the end of April to 25th may . Temperature was between 15 to 24 degrees. Not much rain except last 5 days in Galicia . Most days were really pleasant to walk not too cold not too hot with some drizzling. Some mornings were cold and windy so I wore my puffy jacket but in an...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    So little update, Gregory’s suspension system is superb . Even with 5 to 6 kg of load I am doing 25 kms per day and I have no issues. I brought rain gear and puffy jacket and everything fits well in the backpack . Plenty of pockets . I was prepared to offload some of the gear if I feel that the...

    Second thoughts on completing del Norte

    Thanks everyone for the replies, tomorrow morning I will fly to Bilbao and continue from there on . Funny thing is that I was supposed to fly on 27th but I missed my 3 a.m flight(just woke up few hours later ) :) it is a good thing actually because I have minor shin splints inflammation for a...

    Second thoughts on completing del Norte

    Hi pilgrims , last year i had some spare days and i walked from Irun to Santander , so my plan for this year was to start in Bilbao and walk to Santiago in 24 days . It turned out that i can squeeze 4 more days and take 30 days of paid leave so it makes it 28 days of walking if i want to walk...
