    Notes for Los Caminos del Norte Guide!

    Thanks Tio Tel. Unfortunately, that explanation of the town being a junction is missing from my 2010 edition. Happy walking! John.

    Notes for Los Caminos del Norte Guide!

    Hello. I have just bought Eric Walker's guides 1 & 2 for the Camino el Norte and cannot find what the significance of the # symbol is after some of the place names, e.g. after Irun on page 7. Have I missed something too obvious? Thanks.

    St. Jean to Santiago in 27 Days???

    This was my first long distance walk which I completed in 28 days at the age 56. The second half is much easier and on one day I walked 44k (about 26 miles). Carry as little as possible and just go for it!

    Return Route

    Hello, I walked the Camino Frances in 2007 and, having now had a long rest, would now like to do the return walk this September. I intend to stay, if possible, in the same albergues making use of the credencial I received in 2007. Has anyone encountered any problems doing the same? Thanks, John.

    Hello John, thanks for the info (and thanks to others who replied). I am using a small meths burner (smaller in size than a tennis ball) and windshield that weigh hardly anything. I place my metal mug directly on top for a quick brew up!

    camping stove fuel

    Hello, I'm thinking of taking a small camping stove with me on the VDLP next year (I have to start the day with a cup of tea!). Has anyone done this and how easy is it to buy the fuel - meths (denatured alcohol) in Spain - I hope to start in Seville. Thanks and good luck to you all!
