I’m currently walking the Le Puy and loving it! But as of today I’m running into a bit of navigation problem. I took my first variant today and ended up doing a lot of road walking because neither of my tried and true apps (Buen Camino and Podiensis) show the variants.

I’m almost packed and ready to start on the Le Puy (Le Puy to Pamplona), but am struggling on whether to pack a light sleeping bag or a liner!
In 2022 on my Sept Fancais Camino, I brought both, and it was overkill.
If you were walking the Le Puy and staying primarily in gites, what would...
I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered on the forum.

In 2022 I completed my first camino (CF), and now I’m hooked! I’m planning on walking from Le Puy en Velay to SJPP later this year (either May or September) and am wondering if anyone has experience navigating the Le Puy without a hard-cover guide. If so, in hind-site, would you do it again...
If you’ve lost a pair of glasses near Fromista, I’ve left them at the entrance desk at the Church of St Martin.
Hope they find their way back to you!
Buen Camino
Looking for some advice about checking my backpack and poles...
After having received some lovely foldable carbon fiber hiking poles as a gift for walking the Camino, I read that it can be hit or miss when it comes to including the poles in your carry on luggage. (mostly miss)
I'll be flying...
