I'm packing:
I think I've everything I need, and probably many more I don't. The rule-of-thumb for walking the Camino is that you carry no more than 10% of your body-weight or 10kg, whichever is less, and not to bring too large a bag as inevitably you will only fill it! So, I've tried to pack light.
Here's my inventory:
1x large micro-fibre towel;
1x Deuter Futura 32L backpack;
1x Vango Venom 300 sleeping-bag;
1x PacSafe Exomesh security mesh;
2x Leki Instructor hiking-poles;
1x Freeloader Globetrotter solar panel & battery;
1x Aussie hat;
3x pack of Compeed;
1x tube of Deep Heat;
1x bottle of 30F sunblock;
1x bottle of after-sun;
1x bottle of shower-gel;
1x toothpaste;
1x toothbrush;
1x pocket-tin of Vaseline;
1x tray of paracetamol;
1x razor;
1x tube of shaving-cream;
3x micro-fibre breathable tee-shirts;
2x polyester/cotton mix trousers with removable legs below knee;
2x lined hiking-socks;
2x micro-fibre boxers;
1x long-sleeve fleece;
1x sandals;
1x Merrill hiking-shoes;
1x loungewear (shorts & teeshirts);
1x Petzl head-band torch;
1x Platypus 2L water-pouch.
I'll be carrying all of these in the rucksack, I weighed it all, coming under 9kg.
Nothing to do now but head to work for two more days before flying off to Biarritz on Wednesday. I can't wait!
