    I'm out

    If what you like is solitary walking through amazing green countryside with cowbells and the sound of streams constantly in the background and some nice hills and regular rain(!) then why not head up to the Norte or if you like hills in particular the Primitivo. I just finished having started...

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    Yes, not mentioning the rain forecast for a few days time! But I have had so much rain forecast for this trip, and yet when it mattered there was sun. So I am not worried. Being English, I am used to rain.

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    I think I have settled on Finisterre and Muxia, saving the Ingles for another time, maybe with friends who want a shorter Camino. The path to Finisterre passes right by the door of my lodgings so it feels appropriate. Thanks for the help.

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    So far all my other Camino questions have sorted themselves out, so maybe I will just get lost tomorrow and find myself on one road or the other!

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    I'm really conflicted about this - people keep telling me how lovely Finisterre and Muxia are and I am wondering if it really is just my awkward 'don't want to do the same as everyone else' streak kicking in!

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    I am a tiny bit afraid that that might be my problem. And as it happens, I am a vicar.. Though not wearing my dog-collar.

    Legs when wearing a poncho?

    I just walked the Norte from Santander to Oviedo then the Primitivo. It poured with rain for the first two weeks, on and off, and the mud (mixed with Asturian cow dung) was often over ankle deep and I was very glad of my light waterproof trousers and waterproof jacket and my lightweight gaiters...

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    Thank you, I didn't find that on my search.

    Camino Ingles Backwards?

    I've just completed my Camino from Santander via Oviedo and the Primitivo and have quite a lot of time left as my ferry back from Santander isn't until 11th May. I know walking to Finisterre is the obvious thing to with the time, but I'm rather taken with the idea of walking 'home' via the...

    Keeping Backpack etc. safe

    Do people usually mark backpacks etc with their name?

    Should I just "go for it?"

    Baby stepping? You aren't a Flybaby by any chance are you?

    Should I just "go for it?"

    I was sixty last year and I dithered about whether it was sensible to do it on my own and whether I could abandon my husband for that long and my mum in law who is getting frailer - but just decided it was something I didn't want to regret not having done. Like you, my bag is already packed. Go...

    Primitivo in April

    Goodness, is that likely? I am starting from Santander but hoping to end up in the Primitivo at about that time!

    Starting at Santillana del Mar

    I won't be skipping bits on the way, but I am not beginning 'at the beginning' even if there was such a thing, so it is really choosing where to start to give me the best chance of getting to the end in the time I have and enjoying the journey.

    Starting at Santillana del Mar

    I suppose I'm really asking if I will miss anything great by starting from Santantilla del Mar rather than Santander.

    First night

    But would the first albergue stamp when I have just stepped off a train?

    First night

    a very basic question - if not starting at the official beginning, what happens on your first night when you have arrived by public transport? Do you get a stamp for the place of arrival or is your first stamp only after the first day walking? Thanks!

    Starting at Santillana del Mar

    I am planning to walk the Camino del Norte/ Primitivo second half in April to early May, arriving on the ferry to Santander. Looking at the time I have, and the nature of the first section, I am inclined to miss the long walk out of Santander by taking the train either to Mogro or to Santanilla...
