Participant Guidelines
What to bring:
Take comfortable, broken-in shoes, and dress in layers (T-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket) depending upon the time of year.

Please pack what you think you will need but try not to over pack!
Using the front compartments of a backpack leaves your hands free for walking and climbing. Make sure you bring a small leak proof water bottle that you can refill when climbing the mountain and later you can have it blessed before you return (when facing St. James, the water fountain to the left is the original one fed by a natural spring).

The relaxed traveller is a happy traveller!
The happiest travellers are the most relaxed travellers, and those that go abroad with an open mind to see and experience new things. Try to accept what the day offers, with an open mind. Try to remember that no one has brought the rain just to spite others; no one has deliberately caused the plane or the bus to be late to frustrate them.
A smile and a sense of humour are contagious - try it!
Any foreign travel is more enjoyable and worthwhile if one is prepared to travel with a pleasant tolerance of customs, philosophy and schedules, acceptance of the ways of people in foreign lands, their standards, cuisine, services and degrees of cordiality. It is all part of the enriching experience one should expect and enjoy.
