    Hi guys i walked the Camino in 2014, you should be able to ajust your packs so that the weight is on your hips.

      Hey, thank you Mary! You can get them where you get your passport stamped in the local iglesia. We got ours from a Primark travel gel bag 😂

      Hey Allan, this is not real time unfortunately. My wife and I live in Spain so we're able to do little segments at a time. We finished in Estella, so 5 days of the Camino. Spoiler alert it was amazing and the first day needs respect as it's a tough climb.

      @@benwoottonit’s a tough climb because it usually is the 1st day. Once you get through in a row, there’s not really anything really tough as you’re getting used to walking up and down

      Yes and no, I think this is the toughest day from the whole Camino. With a climb of 1,400 meters I doubt that any other day has this incline. I know there's a day where you walk 30km but have heard it's not as strenuous.

      @@benwoottonthere’s another tough climb between Valcarce and Cebreiro and Fonfria. Over 1600m during the day. Quite a tough one, but as said not as tough as the beginning as you got used to it.
      Of course, that’s another story if you do segments only
