Pack optimisation started long before the trip. So many decisions to make!
Finally got it to around 6kg, without water or food. I don't think I can make it any lighter.

A rough walk, almost all off-track, which was like a full body workout! Legs were perfectly fine the next day, so I think I'm ready to do the longer but easier walks of the Camino.

Reisende Prima estas ansiosa por el viaje jaja yo estaria igual. Tendrás que estoquearte en el super😃❤️
Reisende Ja ja, claro que estoy un poco ansiosa! Pero voy a ver hasta cuando me puedo arreglar con lo que hay. No quiero comprar nada que no sea imprescindible 🙂
