<DIV><BR></DIV>Imelda:<BR><BR>I am not sixty years old or from New York where
people leap tall buildings<BR>at a single bound. However, since my military
school days, which admittedly<BR>was a long time ago, I have been taught that
water in abundance is critical<BR>to a healthy body, particularly when it is
under stress. Last year, I walked<BR>over two hundred miles of the camino,
sometimes alone and sometimes in the<BR>company of others. My experience and
that of everyone else I encountered<BR>strongly suggests that you take and
consume a lot of water. My bottle held<BR>1.5 liters and I filled it at every
opportunity. I also consumed four to six<BR>small glasses of beer each day for
the carbohydrates they provided. At least<BR>that was my story and I'm
sticking with it. Everyone is different, of<BR>course, but I think you would
be smart to err on the side of taking more<BR>rather than less water with
you.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>> 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?
