    Wondering whether the Via de la Plata is our next camino ....?

    Hi, VdlP is a great route , hard but very enriching. I walked Mozarabe—> VdlP in May/June 2022 , very hot and sone long days , but I found the solitude I was searching for 😀

    Cotton blend socks

    I have no connection to company but can recommend Stance socks, a mixture of cotton and polyester , no seams and I don’t get itchy feel like I do with some of the merino socks. They can be expensive , but the sore feet can spoilt a great adventure

    Gear list for VdlP in March/April

    Looks fine to me, only question is how easy is it to pack in 24 L bag. Wrestling to get it all in a bag , in a dark room every morning will become a bit of a trial .

    How late is too late to start (in the season)?

    In 2022 I started in Almeria 2nd May , it was hot all the way to Galicia , but as long as you start early and can carry enough water all ok . Depends how you are in the heat .

    Wet shoes, cold feet, blisters

    Agree, in October you could get cold feet. Gortex boots do provide a solution but the are heavier.

    Albergue idea - group snorers together, away from non-snorers

    Good idea, let’s have a separate room for pilgrims with BO too

    Rain pants or not ?

    I would take a pair, they are light and dont take up must space. Nothing more miserable than being wet or cold all day

    Quick drying hiking tshirt help

    Agree, at a point they just die and you can’t get the smell out. Merino all the way for me, appreciate they aren’t as robust , are more expensive but worth the money

    Altras Lone Peak 6 + Flat Feet

    Hi, I wore 2 pairs of Lone Peaks on walk from Almeria to Fisterre, no problems. Would recommend stretching once finished everyday but all good.
