I've booked flights leaving mid April returning early June, hoping to walk the Camino from St Jean Pied de Port, then on to Finisterre. Quite daunting prospect but millions of people have done it and so can I. A lot to get organized - there seems to no end of gear to help you achieve the bearable lightness of backpack, the magic 10% of body weight, that the Camino forum sages propound. I lashed out and bought a new pack, 18 L larger but 140 grams lighter than my old 32 L pack. I just have to resist the temptation to fill it. I am building up my daily walking distance and trying to get some different terrains. Here is Cumberland Falls, a lovely walk off the Great Ocean Road from last week.
