Hi Jonny! Welcome to the forum!
Once you have specific questions I'm pretty sure you'll get (good) answers from the experienced pilgrims on the forum. Meanwhile, enjoy your research!
Morning,Hi Jonny. I see you're from Bury. Lovely part of the country. Had many happy holidays
birding in Suffolk. I got lots of useful information from the people on here. Great resource
Buen Camino
. A big worry I have is access to water between stages, in my crude planning to date there can be notable sections without obvious settlements or even watercourses. Did you have any issues with hydration?
With many thanks for the tip-off. I'll be sure to go back to post 22 and then create a new thread if still worried...That's a great question for a thread on its own to get more answers than the ones you'll likely get on this thread whose subject was a different one. Not having walked the Vía de la Plata myself, I can't help with such specific question. Meanwhile you open a new thread for that question and get specific answers, you could take a look at post number 22 on the thread titled vdlp too hot in july to get an idea of how much water could be needed to carry on a hot day on one of the stages. I'm aware a hot day isn't the same than a not so hot day and I'm aware each person is different but it might give you some sort of an idea. You can use the search feature on the upper right corner to (try to) find the thread I quoted.
Oh wow! That's perfect! Thank you & that's this evenings reading sorted then...You may have already found the several very detailed descriptions of the VdlP starting in February. For example, @SYates documented her 2016 trip here, and @nalod created this thread.
