    Loved this section on my VdlP 8 years ago, leaving from Zamora in a month, so your current information is very insightful and helpful. Many thanks!

    Is this crazy?

    Presumably you’ve got your pack organized, just don’t overload it with huge expectations and enjoy what unfolds with your footsteps. ¡Buen Camino!

    My perfect ultralight sleep setup

    An interesting alternative to my current sleeping bag (610g), I’ll be walking again in October and I’m wondering if there is a thermal rating for this product?

    Cobbles, narrow roads, % of Hard Surface Roads
