hello

I am starting part way through the Le Puy and I'm unsure where to collect my credential /passport. Are there limited places to collect one from?

Get one from a "friends of ..." association. Many countries have one, and even if there isn't one in your country they will be happy to take ypur money and send you one.
 
Hi @Kazcarr88 - unless you've already started or enroute, the easiest way is to buy from Ivar's shop on this forum. He'll send it to you and usually seems to get everywhere pretty quickly. The other benefit is that it is an accepted Credential which is important to ensure it is recognized by the authorities in SCD when you arrive.
Buen Caminio.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Jozero,
Thankyou, I will purchase one from Ivar. I intend on starting in early September on the Le Puy but I still dont know where I will commence as I am joining a fellow pilgrim I met 4 years ago (on Camino Frances). Can you confirm that any hostel will "start" my credential willingly?

The shop in the Cathedral at Le Puy has credentials and it is always nice to start a Camino with a cathedral sello. There is a pilgrim's mass each morning at 7:30 I think with a Pilgrim blessing at the end of the mass in front if a statue of St James. Worth attending even if you are not religious.

Yes, any albergue/hostel/gite will give you your first stamp willingly ;-) Bon Chemin, SY

I am fine tuning my packing and I pre package my vitamins/supplements to take daily, which I have done for about 15 years. Do you all take them with you, or leave them home? 36 days of vitamins...
Dear fellow pilgrims! :) I hope to walk from Le Puy to Santiago later this year. I was thinking about starting at some point in august so that I manage to reach Santiago before it gets too cold...
Hey! Thinking about walking Le Puy this year. I am a solo female traveller. On my previous Camino (Spain) I stayed in municipal albergues, but this time I would like to try something...
