    Conques to Decazeville

    My wife aka Froggie, is on the le Puy way now and a day or two ago left Conque. She is very fit for her 63 years of age. She said it was the hardest part yet and the climb in the rain was so hard she thought she wouldn’t make it. Her day was circa 26km and she was almost in tears. As you are a...

    My Buen Camino app is crashing!!

    My wife is alone on the le Puy Camino and has reported the same thing. She has a iPhone. She isn’t at all techie and has no clue how to solve the issue.

    Where can I buy a new iPhone charger? Palas de Rei

    You don’t need an Apple branded charger as such. If you have an iPhone 15 (plus/pro/pro max) any USB-C charger is ok. If you have an older phone the original Apple charger has a 5v 1a output. There should be chargers available in almost all electronics store and often in service station...

    Re-registering / re-using 'complete' credencial

    We got our shells at the local supermarket fish stand. I just asked them if they had any that they were getting rid off. She looked bemused, but when I said to was for the St James camino then she understood and gave us some. For the original question, I would just get new ones. My wife last...
