    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    I live in a part of Australia called the Adelaide Hills, so I'll definitely be fit enough for the hilly sections, as I walk them most days. I like the idea of a grueling first few days, I feel like I should be made to earn it. I honestly can't wait. In 2019/20, I almost drove myself crazy with...

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    Even though it will only be the end of Day 1, I am planning on having a rest day so I can spend 2 nights enjoying the very things you mentioned. That walk from Irun to San Sebastian is the thing I just can't shake, I simply have to do it.

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    Thanks Jimmy. I won't be on a shoestring, but at the same time I can't be spending $100+ per night. But I am going ahead with it - I need to plan this far in advance to raise the funds, and to prep my wife & child for spending a month without me. Exciting times - best of luck with your plans, I...

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    I had my trip to the Norte cancelled in 2020, and am just beginning to plan again, hoping for May/June 2023. Flying from Australia is a very long way to travel, just to find I have nowhere to sleep each night. After reading some of these posts recently, I have been questioning whether I should...

    LIVE from the Camino Stopping my Camino and going home

    I was due to arrive in roughly 4 weeks, not happening no obviously. Finding a month to travel was hard, honestly don't know if/when i'll be able to find it again. Will look to next year, here's hoping. I'm devastated, but my family's health & safety are the only important things now.

    April Camino

    Great! My first also. I'll be arriving at the albergue in Irun on the 24th, technically I start walking on the 25th. I've been planning this for a long time, and it's getting close!

    April Camino

    Hi Annie, I am starting the Norte from Irun on April 24th. Hoping I get lucky with the weather, but i'm not afraid of some rain. I am currently doing some long weekend walks in preparation, as this is all I really have time to do, but I guess i'll be as ready as I can be. When are you planning...

    Ideal Time of Year for Camino de Norte

    I don't mind the thought of a day or 2 of rain (especially in this brutal Australian summer we're in right now), but I'm not keen on weeks worth

    Credential in Irun

    Hi All, I recently bought a Wise Pilgrim del Norte guidebook from this site, mainly to get the credential with it. I have the app on my phone, and plan to use that along the way, and will leave the book at home. However, I only received the book, not the credential, so I will need to pick one up...

    Beach Swimming on the Norte - Months?

    I'm also hoping to have a swim here and there along the Norte in April/May. San Sebastian in particular, so I guess i'll wait & see how cold the water is when I get there. If you have been a lifeguard on Sydney beaches, then i think you'll be fine. Some treacherous conditions along Sydney's...
