    Walkerooni reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    In March 2016, two pilgrims walked the Napoleon route although it was already prohibited at the time but this legal prohibition was less well known than now. One of them fell and got injured and immobilised and it was night time. It had snowed...

    Walkerooni reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    I don’t particularly like my own family, so I’m most certainly not soliciting a ‘Camino family’ when I’m walking. I do like meeting others, and nowhere else have I spent time with so many nationalities and age-ranges where I have something in...

    Walkerooni reacted to Robo's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    I'm sure many set out hoping to develop a Camino family. Some set out dreading the prospect! I tend to prefer solitude. Though I have always enjoyed the company of others, and ended up walking with others for a couple of weeks. Perhaps I fall...

    I would second Bayonne if you have 1.5 days and don't want to stray too far from train to SJPdP, and don't want to head there direct. Plenty to do and see and walk around which will help take your mind off things.

    Bayonne is a lovely small city. Try lunch near the riverside market hall and do visit the cathedral. Oh, Bayonne's chocolate makers have a deserved strong reputation too! There's an Albergue/Gite d'Etape and a decent range of other afforadble...

    Also an introvert, have walked SJPdP to Santiago starting late May, and Burgos to Muxia starting late August. Except for a few days on each, I walked alone as per my preference. Do not worry, over 800km you will have no problem finding...

    The Camino tends to give you what you need, not necessarily what you think you want. You just need to choose your path taking into consideration the wise words above - and walk, without any pre-conceptions or notions of what might or might not...

    Walkerooni reacted to DoughnutANZ's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    It sounds like you will be starting your Camino with a lot of expectations. In my experience, this leads to a disappointing and boring Camino. My advice would be to worry less about your Cumbayá avoidance strategies and go with an open mind and...

    Walkerooni reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Poles or No Poles? with Like Like.
    I didn't have any injuries when I started my 2016 Camino. By the time I finally gave in and got them, after some real knee problems, I was very happy to have them. I've brought them on all subsequent Caminos and continued to be happy to have...
