    Running shoes, not trail runners

    My New Balance running shoes lasted from SJPP to Santiago and I didn't have a single blister.

    Fear of heights and the Way from Le Puy

    Thank you everyone for your feedback especially from those who expressed a similar dislike of heights. I feel reassured now that I will not encounter anything which I cannot manage.

    Fear of heights and the Way from Le Puy

    Thank you for your reply @lovingkindness I went back to reread the parts I was wondering about. It was actually the travelling companion (name changed) of the author who was challenged in two places. One day one from Le Puy to Montbonnet: "it was a long, hard climb out of Le Puy, then rugged...

    Fear of heights and the Way from Le Puy

    I've been reading a book which suggests there are a few spots in the first week from Le Puy which terrified the person writing because they have a fear of heights, i.e. walking between the wall of a cliff on one side and a scary, dangerous drop on the other. I'm a little bit afraid of heights...

    Hello, planning for Le Puy to Santiago Aug-Oct 2022

    Also add my name to the list of those starting in Le Puy in late August. I have intermediate level French but I’m sure I would appreciate the odd English conversation over dinner with a forum member en route. Perhaps it will be so!

    Le Puy to SJPDP, late August to early October

    Hi Camino Forum friends! I‘m planning to walk from Le Puy-en-Velay from about August 27th. I walked the Francés in May/June 2012. Then, life happened and I’ve been gone from this site for a long time. There have been a lot of changes in my life since my first camino, especially since the plague...

    App Miam miam dodo not available ( for the moment anyhow)

    In a burst of optimism I booked my flight to Lyon for Aug 26 with the intent to walk from Le Puy to Pamplona and ordered the pair of Miam Miam Dodo books from the publisher. Thanks to those who have responded to this thread already, especially with suggestions for other resources. I’m feeling...

    Why does everyone have an opinion!

    This is one of the best descriptions of the Camino I have ever read. Fits my own experience perfectly. Thank you. I quoted you today on the APOC Facebook page. I hope that was ok. Your wisdom needed to be shared...

    It was a delightful stop on the way.

    not many people know that.......

    Just checked my MEC* brand pack and it has one too! It's an Easter surprise! (MEC= Mountain Equipment Co-op, a Canadian store similar to REI)

    The daily routine

    Just for clarification: It's not that I didn't see any machines, it's that I saw very few. Perhaps I was not looking as hard for them. It's good to know. Thanks for the information.

    The daily routine

    I saw very few washing machines overall, and definitely none where they'd let you wash something again (unless maybe nobody else wanted to use the machine). I'd love to know where they all are. :) I had my clothes machine washed twice on camino: in Azófra (free!!) and Frómista, then not again...

    Hotel in Leon

    I second the recommendation to stay at Posada Regia. Stayed two nights in June and it was comfortable and the location is perfect.

    LIVE from the Camino So much advice has been worthwhile

    Hi, I am currently in Los Arcos. Just wanted to send a quick post to say how much the many pieces of advice I have gleaned from this forum are helping me along the way. There have been so many useful tips that I can´t thak everyone but for sure I want to say thanks in particular for these things...

    Mary Kimpton Memorial Cairn

    I am in Los Arcos today. Yesterday as promised, I looked for this memorial cairn and I was happy to find it just off the path, just before the new underpass after Villatuerta. I was worried that it might have been a little too hard to find but that was not the case. I brought from home a little...
