He would hitch each night or second night back to the car. No issues. But then is and spoke French so no communication issues. If the dogs are walking I'm sure fellow travellers would look after them for a...
I have the Farpoint as well. Good travel pack but the hip belt is not as good as the Osprey hiking packs. My wife and I have only walked in 3 week bursts and carried WAY to much (15kgs in my case) with an Osprey Aether. 10 kgs is a good start ...
Susie, I will be looking to walk this route in September 2018 , so will be following with interest. My wife and I walk for a variety of reasons , primarily for the fitness benefits but also love the Frnch countryside. We will be joined by others along the way who are less physically capable.
If...
We did the St Jacques in 2 years , Le Puy to Cahors and then Cahors to Roncesvalles. 20 days for each with 1 day rest. We were happy to stop at the end of both stages .
Having just finished the Porto to Santiago , I think I personally like about 3 weeks walking. 12 days this time was a bit...
