    If you have/are walking this summer... Would you do it again, knowing the restrictions/challenges?

    I did Le Puy to Cahors in May 2013, it rained non stop and it was cold. Conques was amazing and the Aubrac region was memorable. I would definitely check the weather as it can get hot in the summer and freezing (especially in the Aubrac area) in winter. Late spring or late summer perhaps. Bon...

    Norte vs Frances

    I've walked the Frances and the Norte, then the Primitivo. The Frances will be more crowded , the Norte less so. As far as difficulty, the early stages of the Norte will, IMO be more challenging, especially the stretch through Guernica. The ambiance will be better in the Frances (more people...

    I think I bought a train ticket, but cannot print it.

    Oh well, to each one their own opinion. I am in the more adventurous camp. By the way, isn't the Camino supposed to be an adventure? If everything must be carefully planned and orchestrated, might as well book your "adventure" through a tour operator. -Yuk.

    Train worries

    I would not buy the tickets ahead of time, just get them at the ticket counter in person to prevent forfeiting them in the ( likely) event there are delays, etc.

    Latest start time from St Jean Pied De Port?

    I walked from SJPDP to Roncevalles back in fall, 2011, my friend and I left at 6:30 in the morning, in pitch darkness, we used headlamps until daylight (about 8:AM at end of September). If you arrive in SJPDP at 1:00PM, I would recommend spending the night there. Use your free time to buy...
