[QUOTE="peregrino_tom, post: 1014592, member: 4307"] [U]A few random Vadiniense/Lebaniego questions[/U]: [LIST=1] [*]These are technically different routes, right? But they run end-to-end, so you don't need a "joining" route or jump? Am I understanding that correctly? [B]Correct[/B] [*]Best, most up-to-date, English-language guide(s). [B]Just use Gronze. If you need to see it in English then view it via the Chrome browser[/B] [*]Links to any good, post-2020, blogs on this route? [B]There are a couple in the Vadiniense pages. I think Anamya did one. And look at Laurie [USER=537]@peregrina2000[/USER] 's links at the bottom of her posts - that's going back about 10 years and she probably moans a lot about how much tarmac there is, but otherwise superb of course.. (she might provide a direct link as I can't see an index on her site)[/B] [*]Post-2020 realities on this route - [B]good question! That first night on the Leb is worth researching carefully. Gronze is showing no albergues open for the first 40km and few other options. Interesting to see that the preferred route is no longer along the river, but further west to incorporate Cabanzon. The river path is also a tourist trail so should still be a viable option (unless there is flooding). [/B] [*]I prefer 18-25max km stages. Is this reasonable on this route with regard to services/accommodations? I'm fine with a mix of albergues & other options. [B]You won't get that all the time. Worth going through your stages on Gronze.[/B] [*]How is mid to late May for safely taking this route - going over the Picos, snow, ice? Y[B]ou can never quite tell what the weather is going to do at any time of year in the mountains. But there's negligible possibility of there being sufficiently heavy snow to prevent you walking here at that time. The route from Potes to Fuente De has decent road alternatives along the whole way. The path up to 1794m Horcada marking point in the mountains is a track for 4x4 vehicles. And once you get over the top (pic attached from 11 June) you have only about a km to walk along a wide decent path before you reach the mountain road going down the other side. [/B] [*]Any other recommendations, detours, don't misses? [B]On the Lebaniego, most people seem to take a shortcut from Lebena running near the road on to Potes. I've not come across anyone else in the forum who took the official route up to Cabanes and stayed there. It caused some excitement in the village having someone come up and stay in their new albergue and it took quite a long time to source the key. And the guy running the young people's albergue personally went off to find an evening meal for me (as there's no shop in the village). For my stamp I had to wait until the Mayor came by at 8pm on his tractor on his way back from the fields.. otherwise I wrote most of my recommendations in posts back in 2017.[/B] [/LIST] [B]PS walking from Bilbao would be epic. GO for it![/B] [/QUOTE]
