The final few kms
I love that we all have different experiences and they are always our own and real. Many thanks to everyone for your thoughts and feedback, our Camino was certainly such a special part of our life journey thus far. Yeah, we’ll be back (and hopefully we’ll experience the piper next time!). Vai...- Fortyforward

The final few kms
We walked in at the end of May, 2023. I checked with my better half, definitely an absence of signs and very few shells on the walk into the city, but a few divots in the paths where shells must have been at some stage. Perhaps we missed a turnoff, I found today that the Brierly guide referred...- Fortyforward

The final few kms
Hi, I was just revisiting my diary from our first Camino and it reminded me that although our overall experience was phenomenal and remains life changing, our walk between the big SdC sign and the Cathedral were a little flat, just outlying city streets with few (if any) markers and no feeling...- Fortyforward

Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it?
I totally agree with this. An adjustment of my pack by someone who knew what they were doing took all the weight off my shoulders and the small of my back. My pack was well over 10% of my body weight, I did feel effort uphill (and the stairs into Portomarin!) due to the weight, but not a...- Fortyforward

Backpacks Check-in or carry-on
Hey there, are you traveling after? If not, stop reading now lol. We came from New Zealand and our first experience on the trip was our Camino, but we had travel booked after. Anticipating possible lost luggage, our smaller pack was carry on and contained the things we could not replace (eg...- Fortyforward

Sending luggage to Casa Ivar from St Jean
Sorry if the answer is here and I’ve missed it. We started our first Camino at La Laguna and we had sent luggage early on from Barcelona to Casa Ivar in Santiago with Correos. It was perfect. We think we will start our next way at St Jean and will likely get there from within France. We...- Fortyforward

Camino Frances. Gym shoes or hiking shoes?
You are starting just over a week from now? Have you have trained in, or broken in, a couple of different types of shoes? Wear the one that feels comfiest with your feet and your socks. For us - we each started training with one type of shoe and ended up starting our Camino in a different...- Fortyforward

Socks, no really
We tried lots of combos during our lead up. Wrightsocks were top of the heap for both of us, although the boss also liked merino liners with heavier single layer socks. He found toe socks good, I found they gave me pins and needles. Trial and error and testing while training…… Speaking feet -...- Fortyforward

John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.
We were recently relaxing in Biduedo and a beautiful lady (Australian as we learned) came in and was talking to our host in very good Spanish and in some distress. She had lost her guide book. It was not her first Camino and it wasn’t far until her planned finish in Sarria this time, but she...- Fortyforward

Salceda and O Pedrouzo
We enjoyed Pedrouzo. Our accommodation was lovely, we had a nice meal and the trail was a very nice start to the day. Just need to be careful whether to choose the woodland walk (recommended) or follow the road.- Fortyforward

Overwhelmed, grateful, still slightly dazed….
Our Camino went by too quickly and I can‘t believe the me that was asking for help and advice such a short time ago is home on the other side of the experience . Thank you so much to everyone who have helped and supported us and others on this forum, you are all amazing. We started our...- Fortyforward
