Hola!

I joined the Friends today because I am walking the Santiago trail with my wife in September/October. I am a reasonably experienced backpacker but this will be our first exposure to trekking. We are in the process of defining the gear to be carried, and the like. We expect to follow the Napoleonic Route starting at St. Jean Pied de Port in mid-September. Advice on gear, weather and the like would be much appreciated.

This is an exercise in cultural and physical adventure. We have been to Spain a couple of times, have dear friends there and have greatly enjoyed the people and the country. We hope to become acclimatized to the culture and maybe even pick up enough of the language to stop our continual reliance on English. If we can also get some impression of the history in a real, rather than book, sense and renew an old friendship with the wines of Rioja it will be a great time.

 Tony
