I intend to do the Camino de Santiago, from the French town of Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela, without carrying a backpack, a total of about 800 km from Malaga will go out in early July. A plane Bilbao leave me where I'll take a bus to Bayonne and from there take a train to Sain Jean Pied de Port.
I searched and searched on the Internet, I read guides, I've seen movies and documentaries, and I have not found a single case of a pilgrim who has ever done the way as I do it myself, or with a hand in front and another behind. Is it possible to carry out this undertaking or is it a dare impossible? Is it essential to take even a small backpack? I think you can do, maybe I have to swallow my words and correct, but I'll try and do everything possible to complete this challenge. Do not think
carry a backpack does not mean you "like crazy." On the contrary, everything, however small, must be tested and should be something that I really do lack for El Camino. I'm testing material, both on the street and in my field trips. Later I'll post the detailed list, for now here's a list of "pre-alpha":
- Shoes: As summer route will take a trail shoe. The boots I leave to go to the mountain in winter.
- Flops: For the shower and rest your feet in the afternoon / evening. My travel slippers are lightweight and low volume, have a 1.4 cm sole so it can be considered fine but I can not put in a pocket so I have to make a finer sandals myself.
- Two shirts, two pants, two pairs of socks: One thing every start and another take her tucked in his pockets. All synthetic fiber that dries quickly. Of course, every day I have to do laundry:)
- trousers with pockets and a vest with several pockets: It's very comfortable to wear all the things scattered throughout the body, barely noticeable weight.
- Mobile and charger, pen-drive tiny microSD USB adapter.
- Army Knife: The buy off the plane.
- soap: To wash my hair, body and clothing.
- travel toothbrush, toothpaste, disposable razor.
- A swimsuit and a T-Shirt: Although it sounds strange, this is for sleeping.
- Minipinzas and a string: for drying clothes.
- A hat.
- A canteen.
- Sunglasses.
- Documentation, cards and cash.
remain some fringes that I have to solve, what I do without a sleeping bag? "I took the photo camera or the phone? What about food? Specifying go slowly this time I have left before leaving, and give a good account in this blog.
What do you say? Am I a geek-hikers cowbell? Do you think that is possible to do the Camino de Santiago without a dongle?
