    Portuguese Passport?

    Last year I completed the Frances, September- October. I thought I'd do the Portuguese next year, from Lisbon. However, a 'window' of around 2 weeks has opened for me in late September this month, and I thought I might try Porto to Santiago then. My question: where do I pick up my passport and...

    Frances last year... Portugues this...

    Another very helpful reply..many thanks. I suppose by 'length of days', I was trying to ask if you needed to walk 30k between albergues, or if you could find a place to stay after a relatively short day, if that's what you needed... Keith

    Frances last year... Portugues this...

    Hello... Just quick, hopefully simple, questions to begin... Last year I completed my first Camino, from SJPdP. I had lots of misgivings before I commenced, but enjoyed it immensely and found it a wonderful experience... rather more busy than I had anticipated perhaps, but it was thirty-odd...

    Last minute worries

    David - it's exactly as you said. I got to Orrison at about midday today. It was a tough slog at times, under a cloudless sky and high humidity. I was tired at Orrison, but, after refreshment (I had a beer), I felt I had more in me for the leg towards Roncesvalles. It was hard, but easier than I...

    Last minute worries

    Thanks for all your advice. I'm in my hotel room in SJPdP at the moment, writing this. The town is full of pilgrims today, and rooms are scarce. I have decided to go for the slow start: Orrison tomorrow, then return here. In two days time, I'll taxi to Orrison to resume where I left off. I might...

    Last minute worries

    That's a very interesting idea, Annie, and one that hadn't occurred to me. Would it be feasible to walk out to Orrison, gauge how I feel about continuing, then make my decision? Or would you advise I book both nights first

    Last minute worries

    In London now, having just checked into my hotel near St Pancras - incidentally, into the tiniest hotel room on record. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead, and unless the office in SJPdP says different, it's the Route Napoleon for me. Thanks for all your encouragement :cool: Keith

    Last minute worries

    Many thanks, Tincatinker Of course, I know you are right. It's just that I've spent so much time thinking about this, and now reality is biting, all doubts, questions are arising. I've got time now for a leisurely coffee, then it's pack on and take the first step... Keith

    Last minute worries

    Morning everyone I start on my pilgrimage by walking to my local railway station in about 3 hours, train to London, then early Eurostar tomorrow..Paris, Bayonne, SJPdP tomorrow night. I had a crisis of confidence last night about Day 1. Some forum members talk about the toughness of the day. As...

    Hydration..?

    Before I set off in the morning, can I just give a 'thank you' to all the good advice, positive thoughts and good wishes which have come from the contributors to this Forum. I'm looking forward - with only the slightest tredipation - to one of the great adventures of my life. Perhaps we'll meet...

    Hydration..?

    Thanks again. I'm going for the bladder/back-up bottle combination now. Was very concerned to hear that there may be cold showers at times, though :( Keith

    Hydration..?

    Many thanks for these incredibly fast responses! The refilling question is one that hadn't occurred to me - I might go back to Plan B, ie two bottles in side pockets either side of my pack. Keith

    Hydration..?

    Hello all I start my journey from my home in the UK towards SJPDP on Monday morning, and at this late stage I still have an unresolved question about kit that I'd like to ask for your expert advice about. It's about carrying water. I've always got on well with my Platypus/Camelback type...
