Packing list

Everyone likes a list and prospective Camino de Santiago pilgrims are no different. After bedbugs and snoring, the packing list is probably the most talked about topic. Weight being an important factor, each item is weighed to the nearest gram to ensure that the magic 10% of body weight barrier is not broken. In preparing for one's Camino this race to lightness could almost overshadow the whys and wherefores of dragging one's lardy arse across Northern Spain. Not wanting to rock the boat - I live on a boat so know of the terrible consequences of rocking them - I have more or less decided on the items I shall be taking...probably...so naturally I wish to share with the hordes of people following this blog in baited breath. Here goes:


Osprey Kestral rucksack
Saloman GTX4 walking boats...did I say boats?...well they are size 12, but I meant boots.

3 pairs of walking socks
