Camino Frances May 2014
The infrastructure on the Frances is very good and the way is very well marked. I haven't done the del Norte, but I've heard its quite rugged in comparison and the Albergues are spaced further apart. I was however in Santander at the end of the last Frances stage. Nice little city on the...- HermanTheGerman

Camino Frances May 2014
I started the Frances in May 2013 to find it overrun, contrary to popular opinion. Be prepared for lots of people. Looking back at my photos, I can see groups of pilgrims along the trail every 50m stretching to the horizon. If you're looking for contemplative solitude I'd either start earlier or...- HermanTheGerman

Now refresh my memory please... I think Elodie from Paris was telling me about this miam liam book one night after several bottles of red. Was that the le Puy guide?- HermanTheGerman

Sounds like another long Camino for you next year. Glad to hear you can muster 35 days off at one time. Were also planning our next Camino, even now, which I think will be le Puy, ending up back in Roncesvalles hopefully by the Napoleon route which we missed last time. Sent from my HTC Desire S...- HermanTheGerman

Hey David, Yes we did have a great Camino albeit with its fair share of ups and downs. By the time we got to Burgos we were all pretty sick. Seems like a bug our Camino family picked up somewhere. The best day was the first on the way up to Roncesvalles, which we blitzed in just over 6 and a...- HermanTheGerman

Well its a shame that I never met up with anyone I was planning on meeting, although I did meet Bob from the forum by chance. Everday life again is a drag, slaving away in the office Day after day. But alas, the Camino calls once more! The Burgos to Leon leg over the Meseta is planned for...- HermanTheGerman

We're in a very posh Albergue in villafranca at the mo, which is a welcome change after the slum in redecilla last night, otherwise known as the night of horrors. Was 3 degrees this morning, gloves have been the best thing I brought. Lots of hot water to warm the bones here. Not even a hint of...- HermanTheGerman

In navarette at the mo, checked into la Casa el Garageo, otherwise known as alberge del pelegrinos. Seems like a temporary setup, and not in the brierly bible. Got a private room which seems to have recently been inhabited by grandma as her clothes are still in the wardrobe and I'm sharing the...- HermanTheGerman

Re: Re: Miles in May... Many of them. You don't know how true that really was. Coming out of los arcos this morning was dismal, rain, wind and very cold... Jacket on, jacket off, jacket on, jacket off, jacket on, jacket off... Just before we hit Sansol the sun came out and formed a perfect...- HermanTheGerman

Sitting in the alberge da fuenta in los arcos, freezing my nuts off. The last few days have felt like the ice age, and what's with this global warming thing? That has to be a joke, surely it can't be true. Nexto stoppo, vianna and what a surprise, the weather forecast says it'll be cold and...- HermanTheGerman

Ready to rock! The time has come as I find myself sitting in Frankfurt airport waiting for the flight to Paris and then on to Biarritz... Can't believe the day has finally arrived, the endless months of working without holidays to be able to take enough time off to do the Camino. The last days...- HermanTheGerman

Re: Re: Miles in May... Many of them. Hey there Sandy, I reckon there's a good chance of that. I'm going to have to pick up the pace a bit to catch up to you all, but the training has been paying off so so long as you lot aren't hell bent on laying down 30 clicks a day I'll probably see you...- HermanTheGerman

Well here we are, with 8 days to go before the Camino begins... I'm quite happy with the pack weight which I've been regularly training with. 7.5 kg including water is no mean feat. I've reassessed my pack list about 100 times and am satisfied that its right... Or is there something further I...- HermanTheGerman
