    A Way now too travelled?

    Did a 320km stretch of the Camino a few years ago, beginning of June, unforgettable! fantastic! Was so looking forward to going back when I can. Speaking with a good friend who I met on the Camino then, who is back doing another stretch right now, she started in St Jean end May. Too crowded, too...

    Shoes for Camino

    Attempting my first part-Camino on June 1st, Leon to Santiago and yesterday I was thinking about the footwear choice - my walking boots or Goretex Salomon walking shoes, worn in but still in good shape.

    Should I start from Leon or closer to Santiago? Can do 130 m

    Hi Sue, Similar to the query I had in my mind - I'll also have 14 walking days available, so how far can one reasonably go? I'd imagine it would be different for everyone and I suppose if the worst came to the worst there would be buses, trains & taxi's as a 'bail-out' stragegy? My own approach...

    Leon to Santiago in 10 days - realistic?

    Very helpful thread, thank you! was exactly the query that I had in my mind & the discussion really helped. I'll be flying from Dublin, but hopefully I'll be able to allow about 12 days, ie two weeks off work & allow 2 days for flights & getting to start & returning. Thanks again. :)
