Plan to walk The French route starting September 9, 2017
Just being silly as I'm on the Camino in Viana....the best mental health benefit about walking is when you stop! Like hitting your head against a brick wall. It feels sooooooo good to stop

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Hey Jozero - I was almost in your neck of the woods on the island !! Hiked the JdeF Trail in gorgeous terrain and weather and have to return for more..... the WCT, Nookta or NCT ! Have you hiked any of these ? I'm off to Madrid in Oct to finish the VdlP from Salamanca. You can PM me if that's better :)
