    New Member considering El Camino del Norte in Nov.-Dec. 2012

    Hi bearing in mind the time you are going Nov/Dec for me it has to be the CF because more pilgrim places open-less people walking but enough to make it not a solitary walk-more places to wild/camp-lots of history and imo a special place with a real feeling of Pilgrimage,you connect with all the...

    New Member considering El Camino del Norte in Nov.-Dec. 2012

    Hi David I walked this way last year in October (pics and thoughts in my blog below) even then some places had started to close-the weather was very kind to me,as its coastal I would presume it will be a lot colder and more places closed,its a great walk though most people have done other...

    Hi Dave The Camino is perfect for restoring a sense of well being-I have found that not so many walk for religious reasons-though many who walk find it quite a spiritual journey myself included. your more likely to find a taxi share to Bayonne train station-just look out for the backpacking...

    Walking

    Re: Walking during 2nd trimester pregnancy Hi Shareen apart from being the father to 5 no personal advice to give apart from what my gran said to my first wife "your not ill so get on with it" one of the things I've noticed on the Camino is the amount of doctors and nurses that walk it,I met...

    Many thanks for all of the great advice!

    Hi Mirril have a great time I'll be one day behind you walking with my son,my only advice is if you see the old man huffing and puffing anywhere you must try and revive him with a glass of vino tinto :D buen camino Ian

    Starting the end of April

    Hi Heather I agree about stopping at Orisson,the only downside,if the weather is bad you may have to re-route or even walk back into SJPP. like you I stayed in bayonne on my first Camino and loved the solitude,just sitting on my balcony, wine glass in hand feeling nervous but excited that I...

    Student gap year Camino, new to the whole idea!

    Camino ingles versus last stage of camino france

    I think the easier walk is from Sarria,in theory its downhill,but the big plus is the abundance of Alburgue's every 7km or so. I think the CI is a better walk but the accommodation is more spaced out in one case nearly 28km uphill to Bruma,one of the highest points in Galicia,I think Bruma...
