    October 6 start 2023

    Hi, Welcome, looks like we might tread some of the path at the same time. Just look for the Red Gregory Pack and importantly Buen Camino! PS. Good to see other pilgrims walking the way for Religious reasons.

    Planning a trip to do the Camino Frances in September 2023

    Holla, I’m planning my third Camino in late September as well. Anyway, the first 2 times I did the Camino I flew to Paris and took a train to Bayonne. Then a train to SJ. But honestly, after flying from Melbourne I’d seriously consider if the extra 100 euro for a plane to Bayonne (or less if...

    Is it safe for lone woman?

    I was alone in ‘13 & again this year. Let me put it to you this way, I found most women to find walking companions, or friends, much easier than guys! Must be the propensity to be social. Honestly, most lone walkers look for excuses to find time to walk alone at times :) Wouldn’t worry at all...

    About to buy plane tickets..

    Panic? Sounds like you've begun your Camino already :) Buen Camino!

    About to buy plane tickets..

    As a base line, if you finish/leave in early June, and start say prior to this (say April/May) then tickets are the lowest prices they'll get. (Here in Australia at least) I guess they want to fill planes from all the tourists arriving for Summer break in Europe. Prices generally go up the...

    Camino Begins April 2018

    I’m sorry to hear about your husbands passing... life has a funny way of leaving such large gaps us after we’ve devoted so much to so many. But the Camino has a funny way of filling those gaps, allowing us to find the parts of ourselves that we sometimes forget ever existed. You’ve already...

    Late April 2018 Start - St. Jean to Santiago

    So again I feel the urge. I'm prepped to start my second Camino on April 29th 2018 from St. Jean to Santiago. Thought I might start this thread in case anyone is leaving around the same time. You never know when we might run into each other... as happens.

    Planning commences - how quickly can I pack and set off on my first solo advent

    Day 20. 480km down, 320km to go. A piece of sage advice... Be prepared to loose your gear!!! Humm, in hindsight I shouldn't have gone too premium. Buy quality but don't spend too much. Down to 1 underwear, no beanie, lost my glasses etc... And there are too many pilgrims who are in the same...

    Preparing our Pilgrimage in Oct

    I've just read a wonderful piece from a priest who prepares Vatican Pilgrimages. As I'm leaving in 4 days I'm trying to empty myself... In many ways. Even if your not too religiously inclined I thought it a wonderful look at preparing for a "space for reflection" - and as it differs from our...

    Planning commences - how quickly can I pack and set off on my first solo advent

    Have you any experiences walking before? It always makes me laugh how many different 'versions' of gear I bought until happy - dry, comfy & happy :) All the best - I hope I'm not teaching grandma to suck eggs when I suggest research, time & patience weighing up the options. Buen Camino.

    Camino angels

    It's all too true. It's hard to gauge how we might react in differing circumstances. I've had heat stroke & hypothermia, and both when I was at peak fitness. Also done crazy km when unfit - not that's encouraged. It's important to listen to your body but there are a few things you can do to...
