    I’ve been over the Route Napoleon twice, once on a folding bike (very difficult) and more recently on a mountain bike (almost easy). There is no designation that I am aware of that the RN is not for cyclists, nor have I ever come across advice...

    Good to know, unfortunately some cyclists ignore this advice. I saw cyclists on the Napoleon route in 2019, including one who was receiving medical attention after a spectacular reverse somersault while trying to cycle up the steep part that...

    The Napoleon route is the walking route. Cyclers take the N-135 through Valcarlos. Most cyclers continue after Roncesvalles. They ask for a stamp, have a drink at the bar and go on.

    I feel your pain!! I have been dealing with PF for a while and like everyone else do say the MDs/Physios know best - however there is a lot of conflicting information on how to treat even within the medical community - so definitely can be hard...

    Hi. My sympathies. I am 76 and just getting over 4 months of PF. Stretching, especially underfoot, and the airplus orthopaedic insoles have worked magic for me. Just done 15km hike and pain free

    Oh boy. I GOT plantar fasciitis on the Camino last year, and I wouldn't want to do anything that aggravated that! I finished June 24th. Every day my feet would hurt when I woke up in the morning, but would get better after walking around for a...
