    "river route" into Burgos safety

    It was not well marked and felt a bit sketchy. I'm 6'4" so a lady alone probably would not feel ok. I used taxi in the past going into Pamplona, Burgos, and out of Leon. I feel that St James is understanding.

    "river route" into Burgos safety

    I walked Camino Frances last May (third time) along the river into Burgos. Mistake. Take a taxi as soon as you pass the overpass. Best 10e you could invest.

    Reflections on the Le Puy

    I walked from LePuy to Roncessvillas Sept-Oct '15. I had the exact same experience as Rellrogg 100%. I stopped answering the question about the difference between the Chamin and the Camino. It just upset people. France is about French holiday hikers that have little feeling about the pilgramidge...

    LePuy Stopover Places

    I am beginning the Chemin LePuy on 09 Sept 15. I have done Camino Frances a number of times. On the CF there are traditional cities that people take layover days. Many pilgrims speed an extra down day in Pamplona, Burgos, and Leon. I am sooo not a planner, but the French seem to insist on...

    Heading Out to Le Puy

    Le Puy in Sept/Oct 2015...any others?

    I'll be starting from Le Puy 09 Sept 15. I finished the Camino Frances 05 July 15. I have just about healed up and put back 10 lbs so I'll see if I can do another 500 miles. Since I try to do only 15-20 k a day you should catch me somewhere along the way. Easy to spot - old guy 6'3".

    BORED IN ITALY

    Thank you Sillydoll - I am Monterosso in Cinque Terra but will go through Spetsia to Lucca where is a nice hostel I am told tomorrow. The sun came out and the trails of Cinque Terra are very nice for hiking.....I need a bit more than just a hike. The markers to Rome sound like a good way to...

    BORED IN ITALY

    Hi there - I have just finished the Camino Frances walking 36 days from Roncesvalles to Santiago. I had such a good experience that I talked to my friend about what a great thing it would be to do it together maybe in the Spring.....she was somewhat less enthusiatic. We agreed that we would try...

    SEPTEMBER PILGRIM

    Just a note to those that are also starting about the time I am (Sept 7th) - I will end up in Santiago in mid Oct. Seems that there is a major national holiday over the weekend of Oct 13-15 and many or most hotels a booked up. I never plan ahead....but I know I will need a place to stay in...

    Camino Alternative Guide

    Thank you Ivar - This really provides a nice backup plan which I have been looking for. I will leave for Roncesvalles next week and plan to use the Brierley guide when possible. If the weather turns worse or something gets hurt I now have a good alternative. Hope to see you some time and buy you...

    September Babies: Sept 12 is the day!

    Kelly - sounds like the weather is going to be a bit wet and cold. I was going to leave my heavy flees and warm hat behind but I am repacking them now. I also am finding that when I reach Santiago in Oct there is some sort of national holiday (Oct 13-15) which will make it hard to find a place...

    Hi From the Simpsons

    Hi Simpsons - Please keep me informed about your trip. I will be starting the more tradional Camino Francis on Sept 7th and walking to Santiago. NEXT Spring I want to do the route you are doing. I have always wanted to go to Portugal and just never made it. I am thinking about doing it in late...

    SEPTEMBER PILGRIM

    Kelly - Thanks for the advice. I am staying at the Hotel Eslava the first night in Spain to get over jet lag. I will take the bus the next day to Roncesvilles, get my credentials and spend the night in the Albergue. Hopefully the rain and mud that Mindy is talking about will abate. If not it...
