Greetings! I have just signed on and am leaving May 2 to hike Roncesvalles
to Santiago with my husband. We are 2 Americans ages 47 and 58 who just
thru-hiked the 2167 mile Appachian Trail . Only 10% who start finish because
I believe they all carry too much weight --Lisa- GO LIGHT!!! 25 pounds is
much too much-I only carried 15, mu husband 20 on the AT with tent, food,
etc.... I have just weighed my camino pack-7 pounds without any books, food
or water. Definitely staying under 10 pounds. One key item is a pack-if you
can afford a new one Dana design speed weights 1lb 12 ounces plus 4 oz for a
waterproof O.R.hydroseal bag. There are others. Take a hard look at every
item!! Email me directly if you want specific advise. Patagonia makes
excellent lightweight clothing. Save your joints & be happy!
Question: Anyone know the details on the bus from Pamplona to
Roncesvalles????? Thanks! Karen Swanson
