    Can I Walk the Last 100km of Camino Frances with a Wheeled Walker?

    Many thanks for the post. I had no idea that they made walkers that were so suitable for outdoor and competitive activities. I've just been looking over the various walkers that might suit and it gives me a real boost to think I could actually return to the Camino walking!

    Can I Walk the Last 100km of Camino Frances with a Wheeled Walker?

    Hi, It looks like I'm going to get a knee revision and the MD tells me I should be able to get around with poles and you know what that means. I'll get back to Spain to finish my Camino the same way I started it, with poles! Thanks

    Can I Walk the Last 100km of Camino Frances with a Wheeled Walker?

    Thanks Tom, Unfortunately, I've had another fall ending up in the hospital fracture clinic. The orthopedic surgeon wants a knee revision and so this fall I'll be rehabbing not returning to the El Camino. He suggests I'll be able to walk after the operation with poles. So good and bad news...

    Can I Walk the Last 100km of Camino Frances with a Wheeled Walker?

    Is it possible to traverse the last 100 kilometers of the Camino Frances with a wheeled walker? Since the last I walked the Camino my mobility has been greatly reduced, I now use a wheeled walker to get around. I walked as far west as Astorga but never finished and now would love to...

    Non-RC pilgrims and mass

    I have been on the Camino and the Chemin de St. Jacques four times . Originally as a seeker and then as a pilgrim. I'm a Presbyterian and have always made an effort to seek out the Catholic services. It was those services that helped me to connect with the spiritually of the Camino. Have faith...

    Questions about Le Puy

    I would take a rest day at Le Puy, the rest will help you get over the jet lag and make the first few days of walking a lot easier. You can also meet the bishop of Le Puy if you go the cathedral first thing in the morning.

    Anyone experience using the Travel Cpap devices; Z1 or Transcend

    I use an elite 11 system . Last year I went without the humidifier in an effort to save a few ounces of weight. I felt miserable for the entire trip, my throat dry every morning. Next time I'll leave my extra pair underwear at home but take the humidifier. Good luck

    What is the current situation of Eunate

    I also spent a night there back in 2007, I remember going into the church after we had eaten dinner, maybe four or five of us. By the time we went into the church is was night time, Jean, the fellow who made us supper lit candles for a little light. He then gave us each something to read or...

    Travel Suggestions

    Hi, What I found interesting is that bus/train companies do not like to cross international borders. To get to SJPP you must come thru France, if not it gets complicated. To start at Roncesvalles you must come from Pamplona, that didn't suit me as I wanted to see the way first by...

    Train ticket from CDG Paris to Bayonne

    Hi, I also had a difficult time trying to buy advance train tickets on the internet. I landed in Paris and wanted a train to le puy. It was frustrating but I did find an answer somewhere on this forum. I used my credit card and picked up my ticket at a machine in the train station with the...

    users of cpap machines

    I don't bother with distilled water for my equipment, in the early days of adding water reservoirs to these machines distilled water was never mentioned. These days from time to time I do rinse out the reservoir with lime away to clear the mineral deposits which are, after all, the same...

    users of cpap machines

    I have been using cpap machines for twenty nine years, without my machine I don't even take a nap. I can tell you that you needn't worry about finding a plug or a considerate pilgrim to offer you a lower bunk. On my first pilgrimage I took a thirty foot extension cord, but never needed it...

    Madrid to Pamplona via bus

    I have flown into and out of Madrid and used both the bus and train to connect. My experience with the airport was very positive, it's small compared to the likes of Paris or Chicago and the bus service was both inexpensive and easy to find.

    Top Tips for the Le Puy Route?

    Don't forget in France you are walking on the Chemin de St. Jacques or the GR 65 and there they have red and white strips for trail markings. For local loops around villages etc.. they use yellow strips. So when in doubt whether to follow the red and white strips or the yellow ones pick...
