    Camino procrastinator

    Morning As we approach this time of year I invariably start to think of my beloved dad. At the same time I think about doing the camino. Then I realize I don't have enough holidays. Then I put it off. So I'm now seriously considering a life change in the hope I can complete it and perhaps find...

    Primitivo instead of France ??

    Thanks Theatregal, just the kind of facts I was after. Fitness wise I'm in decent shape because I do a fair amount of cycling, I've decided the camino deserves walking not cycling .........so should be up to it. Your trip dates sound like the time when I plan to go so many thanks again for...

    Primitivo instead of France ??

    Thanks for the heads up. I've got time to plan so exploring all options at the moment. I guess the worse that could happen is there are so many of us doing it in August that either it becomes very expensive or a tent will come in handy! I've tried to unsee the post you made that mentioned ra*s -...

    Primitivo instead of France ??

    Thanks for the speedy reply. The avatar is much smilier than the real me though about to change it! Time is my only real constraint in that I just don't have the 30+ days, I think you need, for the Frances route. My holidays are a few days of July and all of August, so not impossible but if...

    Primitivo instead of France ??

    Hi Laurie I've just posted as I'm unsure which route to take. Your photos and descriptions are really helping. Was the primitivo route very isolated in terms of finding somewhere to stay, and did you bump into many walkers? Apologies if I've already missed the answers to this and thanks in advance.

    Ditte I'm having a dilemma about which route to take. Did you do the primitivo route, and, if so, what was your experience like? Thanks.

    July/August 2014

    Hi all If you look at my track record you'll see I'm new and undecided. My heart says walking not cycling, which was my original thought, suits el camino more so I think I've dealt with that battle now. One of my reasons for doing the walk - and probably why I'm so reflective - is to...

    Thanks for all the replies. My heart says walk but I just don't think I will have the holiday time. My head says bike but also that that's not really the spirit. Still undecided.

    Hello

    Cheers Sraeen I've done quite a bit of cycling so used to hills but I'm torn between doing it this way versus walking. How long did it take you to walk the distance?

    Cycling advice

    A few initial questions; 1. Time of year for me is likely to be August 2014 only, any advice on this as a possibility? 2. Are cyclists frowned upon plus are they less likely to find places to stay? (I understand camping not really an option) 3. Any feedback from cyclists who have done it...
