    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Totally agree, as it not only P*** others off and it achieves nothing as you will miss so much in those dark hours, I have noticed more and more it has become a race to the next albergue...stop and smell the flowers.

    I had snow in 2018 in April which was a change as I had only seen the Meseta in 30 plus. Just have layers and a poncho.

    SJPP to Santiago in 30 days?

    Listen to your body, being 28 and reasonable fit is no guarantee that things will not happen, if it is important to walk the Camino take your time and do it in two goes reason I say this (have walked 4 times) is there is so much to see take in and enjoy. Far to many race through not see...

    CF Routes late August with 3 weeks

    Having walked it multiple times, I think option 3, but remember why you want to walk and listen to others but their walk will be different from yours and your memories will also be different. The Meseta is part of the Camino (I always enjoy this section) the only thing I can offer is "have no...

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    Have done it in rain 2013, sun in 2014 and Valcalos in 2018 (snow), I think Valcarlos is a more beautiful walk through the forest, but at the end of the day its your walk do what you feel comfortable with. there are so many great views and going over the top has lovely view of mountains in the...

    Napoleon route now

    in 2018 after reaching Ronc. a lady walked in bragging how she had come over the Napoleon route and being also an Australian I was so not happy and asked why.

    Best Unique and Comfortable Albergues on the Camino Francés with Communal Experiences

    Never stayed at Majarin, but always stop there for a chat and reflect in 2013 when I was so ill Tomas would not let me walk out those mountains, when I walked it in 2014 he was so right. It is where I found myself and always shed a tear there.

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    I have always taken two days over the mountains, yes Orrisson is wonderful many friends made, Valcarlos is also wonderful, but all I can say is I have seen many pilgrims misjudge day 1 and suffer and a few pull out at Pamplona. It is not a race and the guide books are just that a guide so slow...

    Thank God for those rescuers I hope they kicked his butt all the way home, why do people put others at risk for their arrogance, sorry but what would he say if one of those sent out did not come home to their family. ALL pilgrims please think before you act, it is not all about you thats my...

    Avoiding Easter crowds 2022

    I walked over Easter in 2018, I stopped in between recommended stages, and had no problems as there were few walkers and the locals who I enjoyed walking with and talking to were mostly only on the road for a week. Thinking of doing it again in 2022 and I am in my 70's , the small towns and...
