Micheal O'Mahony | Jul 12 2012, 11:59pm | Hi all. I'm going doing the camino de santiago in Spain in August for 5 weeks, next month - 2 weeks away. I am on a limited budget and here a few of the things I need to get for the walk; Walking shoes/boots Sandles - straps Socks - bridgedale preferably Light poncho wide rimmed hat 50L max rucksack with waist strap Silk sleeping bag lining I'm looking to buy the items preferable second hand or else new. I am living in the Cork city area. Do you know of any second hand stores or shops in the Cork area? Do you know of any websites whereby you could buy the stuff for a good price, maybe even second hand? I am looking for quality shoes + rucksack and I am not too concerned about the rest. I would be open to buying from anybody who may have some of the stuff in the Cork area. Thanks guys. |

Moire O'Sullivan | Jul 14 2012, 3:44am | Nice to hear you're doing the camino - I did it just there back in April/May. Thought you might be interested in the following links: Camino FAQs from Sherry Ott who was on the trail this year: http://www.ottsworld.com/blogs/camino-de-santiago-faq%E2%80%99s/ What i brought with me on the camino: http://moireosullivan.com/2012/06/04/what-i-brought-on-the-camino-de-santiago/ This forum was also great for Q&As: http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/ Would be happy to lend you stuff that you are looking for, but all of it is currently in Cambodia... sorry! Have a great trip! |
