    Minimum time to get that Camino-feeling

    - Jabba papa you mention starting with a quieter walk. I do wonder what all the fuss is about when you think how busy it must be there.

    Is it worth it?

    Thanks again for all the thoughts. Once again I feel drawn to go off and give it a go. There will never be enough time and money for this sort of thing but it is worth making a start - and worth remembering the GR 65.

    Carcassonne to st Jean pied de port?

    Nope. I will have a week in October) to walk about between Carcassonne and the Pyrenees to get the feel of it as far as accommodation might fit GR 78. ( http://www.gr-infos.com/en/gr78a.htm) I would like to put my holiday together in a four week block next summer and plan an "exact" route...

    Carcassonne to st Jean pied de port?

    Cheers. I will fit that in. This is shaping up. Monasteries/retreats would be interesting too! I suspect I will only get as far as I get and go back again :-) Plenty to plan over the winter.

    Carcassonne to st Jean pied de port?

    Hi, Thank you for your direction. I will have a look at that thread. No, I had forgotten about couchsurfing. I had tbought it had gone commercial. Would priests accept " non-catholics" knocking on their doors begging a floor? I suppose there is the saying "Knock and it shall be openned...

    Carcassonne to St Jean Pied Du Port

    Looks like a nice enough walk given that flights to Carcisonne look quite cheap. http://www.csj.org.uk/planning-your-pilgrimage/routes-to-santiago/the-routes-today/the-pyrenean-foothills-route/ Thanks for the profile.

    Is it worth it?

    Hi, Thanks for all the replies - and all genuine and encouraging too! It seems I would miss it if I just walked past in a White Rabbit rush so I will walk for the sake of walking rather than purely building the miles up then just see how far I get and hope to get back to it another time if...

    Is it worth it?

    It is now coming on for ten years since I had been walking mindfully regularly and I heard of the Camino first when I meet someone who had just walked it and then when a travel writing book about it popped up in front of me. It is still on my mind to give it a go myself and now seems a good...
