    Stages to skip

    Thank you Murk and Pelerina for your excellent advice. I am on the walk now and just do not have enough days left in my schedule to get to St Jean PdP on time. That is really helpful. I was thinking I would go to Lectoure and Condom. I’ll assess how many days I need to cut out and most likely...

    Stages to skip

    If you had to, which stages between Moissac and SaintJean PdP would you miss out? Thanks.

    Posting package ahead

    Thanks for your advice. Its not stuff I can buy along the route. Daily contact lenses for example. I'm trying to keep pack weight down.

    Reserving accommodation

    I am an English speaker with little French. I am trying to book accommodation on the Le Puy route by using email. I am getting very few responses. I'm wondering if gites are so busy during the season that they dont check their emails perhaps, or at least dont respond to booking requests by...

    Clothing for Via Podiensis

    Thanks very much for that Doug. Yes I would be relying on layering up and down. I want to avoid carrying bulky, weighty gear. Your comments are reassuring. Good to know you only had the one difficult day.

    Clothing for Via Podiensis

    I will be walking on the GR65 starting in early April from Le Puy. I was thinking of wearing/carrying merino T's and long sleeves, a down gilet and a waterproof/windproof shell. Does anyone who has walked this route in spring have any advice for me as to whether this will be enough to keep me...
