    Camping the Jakobsweg Route

    I'm hoping to hike this Geneva route in October to early November. I can't find a english guide? Perhaps there is not one. How difficult will it be to find lodging if I don't speak French?

    New hiking boots vs old comfortable running sneakers?

    1. Less is more. The salesman misleads u. Ankle support isn't neccessary for most major hardcore trails much less the Camino. Trail runners or running shoes, will be ideal. 2. Waterproof isn't needed. Regular running shoes let your feet breathe and dry out quicker. Waterproof shoes cause your...

    El Camino Frances vs El Camino del Norte?

    I was perplexed about which route to take . I decided on going the Camino Frances in September and considering the Camino Norte in reverse from Compestella in October. Flip flop Camino perhaps

    Roll mat or no roll mat?

    I'm not carrying my zlite pad on the Camino , but since I'm following the Camino with going directly to Ireland to do the Irish Coast to coast hike, I will mail myself my pad to greet me in Compestella

    What Count the Most : Your Passion for the Camino or the Carry Bag weight ?

    If you don't have the right pack weight u will have waning passion. I like it light. I'm gonna carry about 5lbs on Camino .

    Learning Spanish

    Thank u for this. I have zero foreign language skills which I think might be typically american. I'd like to have a few key phrases down before I get to SJPDP

    The story of your Stone at the Cruz de Ferro

    Sorry for the loss and thank u for sharing. I lost my brother 3 years ago and I quit my job and thru hiked the Appalachian Trail in the US and spread his ashes atop MT Katahdin at the finish. I saved a bit of his ashes for the Camino . Do you all think it's appropriate to use a bit of ashes...

    Why the Camino scares me...

    I liked your video (although I was surprised it was miley Cyrus. ) your story is nice to read . I'm not surprised to hear about your injury, as over striding and going too fast can cause leg injuries most commonly shin splints which are the most painful to deal with. Pack weight is a common...

    How did u enjoy the book u did get? I am considering leaving Geneva in early October and trying to get to St Jean pied de port by early mid November . Unsure about accommodations and weather in that early section.

    Camino del Norte in reverse

    Thanks for the inspiration all! I think I may loop my Camino in September . Now reading this i might just walk Camino frances to Santiago de Compestella and then go reverse back to France on Camino del Norte in October. I'll start my feasibility study!
