Our training was worthwhile as the route this year was harder than expected in places, chiefly due to paved areas on the coast paths. Our packs were slightly heavier than anticipated due to the need for food and extra water, however we had nothing that we didn't use or need - apart from a small pot of suncream.
Our walk is recorded as Camino 2015 and covers the route from Ribadeo westwards to San Andrés de Teixido then the Camino Inglés from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostela.
We will continue to walk to keep in training although next time we expect to take a car and walk around rather than on the Camino. Some posts will have a place here, others on Walking Around depending on whether they class as preparation or walks of interest.
Packing lists and weights will still have their place as we would not intend to over-pack even with transport. They might be of interest to those who need to make their pilgrimage with aid or private accomodation. We feel that staying in hotels, for example, does require more than one change of shirt.
