<DIV><BR></DIV>What advice do people give for how much water to drink. When I
arrived in<BR>Roncesvalles, I was advised to drink A LOT before setting out
each day and<BR>they just top off as I went along. On the other hand, some
people say NOT<BR>to drink too much or only when thirsty. Water is heavy. One
liter weighs<BR>about 2 pounds. The only place I really almost ran out was
that first day;<BR>I missed one of the two fountains along the route. Other
thoughts about<BR>water? Imelda</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
