    Accomodation St. Jean Pied de Port

    Can you recommend hostels in St. Jean Pied? I was looking at Gite Makila but it is booked for my first night, which is a shame but will check again later. I have never needed to book ahead doing the Portugues and Primitivo but understand the Frances is more popular, and see on the forum people...

    Hiking tights for September Camino Frances

    I have looked at the Uniqlo but they are more of underwear garment than a technical product like running tights so they aren't right for my needs.

    Hiking tights for September Camino Frances

    Haha, I was replying in American lingo pants (trousers), not underwear UK :) Although I do sometimes hike without underwear and wear short running tights instead... ooh lalal!

    That was really helpful, I understand now that even the lightest weather tights will meet what I need :)

    Hiking tights for September Camino Frances

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I won't be wearing pants so this is my reason for just wearing long tights and shorts over the top. I expect like you say I won't need them most of the time but I did experience doing the Primitivo a couple of years ago being very cold starting at 6am and walking in...

    Hiking tights for September Camino Frances

    I am doing the Camino Frances in September and want to get some tights to stay warm hiking in the cold morning mountains. I have no experience wearing long tights and am confused about what types I should get: cool weather vs cold. The temperature will be 8-10 celsius lowest and rising to 20 c...

    Camino Frances vs Camino Primitivo last100km

    Thanks guys, the Primitivo is calling me, although the Del Norte does look beautiful that shall be 2020 walk. Now just to decide which part. mmm... Also I was wondering if there is an opportunity to hire a bike for a day. I thought it would be interesting to cycle for one day and walk the rest.

    Now you've got me thinking should I do the Del Norte or Primitivo, what would you suggest for beauty and socialising?

    Camino Frances vs Camino Primitivo last100km

    I would love to and can take two weeks holiday to do the walk but as I am working I only have limited holiday a year - 5 weeks, I have to stretch it out over the year. If I wasn't working I'd happily spend 4 weeks doing a walk. I'm guessing you are from Europe, retired or not?, and devote a good...

    Comparing apples to bananas could you recommend the Primitivo/Del Norte over the Frances for my next trip and which part?

    Camino Frances vs Camino Primitivo last100km

    Hi, I realise there will always be social people on the walks but I was after a more sociable experience this time, if that's possible. On the Portuguese this year Tui to Santiago we did talk to a few people and everyday there were about 6 - 10 people walking in the same vicinity as us, say...
