    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    I completely agree. People have looked at me strangely or with concerned faces when I've told them I'm off on my own. It's like they felt sorry for me. Little do they know how lovely it is and how liberating (no matter how many times I tell them!).

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    Dear fellow pilgrims, The most important thing is I'm happy with what I have written and proud to have done so. Putting a book out there is scary and very exposing and it took me a long time to come to the decision to publish. I would have hoped that there would have been a bit more support...

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    It's not redundant at all. In Spanish it is the Camino Francés.

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    @Dorpie Thanks for sticking up for me. It is indeed a bit of dry British humour which has obviously hit a brick wall. eg 'How to survive the end of the tax year' or 'how to survive a house move'... To be honest I thought my book title was perfectly pleasant, didn't realise it would cause so...

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    Thanks for your feedback. Each to their own Antonius. It is obviously a very personal choice. For me, it was definitely a (physical) challenge to conquer, especially the first two or three times. I found it brutal.... I find the word conquer to be only positive in this sense.

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    @Dorpie Haha! Well I'd be lying if I said there weren't a couple of 'characters' I'd met over the years ...But on the whole, everyone has always been lovely :) and I had no need to worry!

    How to survive the Camino de Santiago

    Dear Pilgrim Friends. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here, so (moderator) feel free to move or redirect if this is the case. I have recently written a preparation guide to the Camino. It is a complete beginners guide which is to be used to complement your Brierley guide (or book...

    Last 100km all in same time period?

    Hi everyone, A question please. Due to holiday restrictions we are currently doing the CF in stages having started in SJPdP. Our next segment could take us up to 3 days before Santiago. We then thought of doing the last three stages to Santiago and then through to Finisterre when we next have...

    quick question re San Sebastian

    Hi all, Just wondered if someone could confirm if the municipal albergue is open in San Sebastian. According to a google search it is shut, but never sure how up to date this info is. Otherwise, will book a private hostel elsewhere. Thanks, Alison.

    Albergue in Irun

    Thanks so much to you all. Im actually on an easyjet flight which gets in at 4pm. It would be worth waiting for that direct bus though it looks great. I tried to find something like that but couldn't. Brilliant. I think I will book a room just to be on the safe side. Many thanks again.

    Albergue in Irun

    thanks both. I have in the past always booked accommodation, but wanted to try and make use of the albergue if possible this time. I will see if anyone can give me some info on how busy it is. Thanks, Alison.

    Albergue in Irun

    Hi all, Starting the Camino del Norte in three weeks. Flying to Biarritz on a Sunday afternoon, then have to make my way down by bus/train, which looks a bit sporadic. Prob won't arrive in Irun until 8pm ish. Anyone know if I'm likely to get a bed in the donativo, or if I'm better off...
