    Completing the French Way in 28 days

    Happyinharrogate you haven't indicated your age or fitness level. I was 59 when I walked the Frances and planned on completing it over 33 days, with planned rest days.

    Rest time during Stage

    Hi Vaughan, different people have different views on this topic. If your feet are OK as not sprained, I don't see any issues with removing your boots to let your feet breathe. If you've twisted your ankle and your foot is swelling, probably not a good idea as you might not get your foot wear...

    Camino April/May 2018

    Hi Daniel, I start my first Camino from SJPDP on Friday 11 May 18. I initially looked at a tour but after speaking to people who had completed one and watching videos, there are heaps on youtube if you search Camino, I decided to go it alone. Buen Camino
