    Starting my Camino on May 12th

    Hi Scotsreb, That's the way to start, full of confidence. We may have more years behind us than ahead of us, walked it last year in 27 days at 70 years old, but I am sure there is someone out there even quicker. Buses and taxi etc excluded, answers on a postcard please.

    Hello Mum, I am a great believer in the saying " you get what you pay for ", be that a quality item that costs more or a budget item that costs less. Yes there are bargains out there and on no frills, short hops, Ryanair is a bargain as long as you play the game.

    Class of 2014

    Hello Jacobus, Eunate Church open or not is well worth a visit, you might consider stopping the night at Cizor Menor instead of Pamplona. Reserve a place there and still spend plenty of time in Pamplona. Next day visit Eunate and continue on to Puente la Reina, plenty of time.

    All I need to know with walking the camino

    Hi Trafalgar, As you can see by my pathetic attempt of a beard after 82 days walking from Wales to Santiago I don't shave. Its one of lives little luxuries I love. Besides if I was to return home tanned & clean shaven my mates would think I'd been on the Spanish beach, not the Camino. Very good...

    3 guys walking the camino the end of April.

    Many thanks for that although I sometimes I think I hear " silly old sod " from other forum users. After I had returned home last year I received several E-mails from friends, and the common thread from the Camino youth was the word inspiration. They did not believe there was an active life...

    Camino Frances, End of May vs September?

    Hello, Are you biking or hiking ? If you are biking you can carry a light weight sleeping bag, however if hiking a silk liner was sufficient for me April / May & June 2013 plus the odd Albergue blanket. But I appreciate there are some cold souls out there. Have fun.

    Sorry it was a totally stupid question following your visit to the Guinness brewery and several pints of the black stuff anything is possible. But how you remembered even walking is beyond me. Very well done on the rugby pitch this year.

    A long way off

    Hello Kuznitz, I do not believe there is such a segment that is a favourite to all pilgrims, so my advice would be to start at St Jean Pied de Port as soon as possible. Return each year and recommence where you finished the previous year. It then and only then when you reach Santiago that you...
