    Which kind of sleeping bag ? (Camino Francés - May)

    Something to think about if you were considering a down sleeping bag... I have two lightweight sleeping bags, one is synthetic and the other a warmer (far more expensive)down one. I wouldn't take my down bag on the camino again as when I was bitten alive by bed bugs it was not possible to...

    Snow disruption

    What rotten luck! The best laid plans and all that... Good luck for Wednesday! Meanwhile open a bottle of Rioja and make yourself a cheese and chorizo sandwich, at least you will be living out part of the experience you would have been having! (You could also handwash your smalls in a stone...

    Class of 2009

    I have never carried a hairdryer but if I had ever seen anyone carrying one I would have made friends with them pronto! At the risk of making more generalisations, many women have longer hair than men. Especially when walking in cold weather it can be absolutely freezing to have a shower in an...

    Class of 2009

    It is a sad fact that, probably because the camino is a test of physical (as well as mental) endurance, it does bring out an unattractive dose of competitiveness in some people - dare I say mainly men?! This extends to Competitive Kit Weight Comparisons, Competitive Motives for Pilgrimage...

    Madrid to Roncesvalles

    Hi Sandra The Madrid-Pamplona timetables for May are not published yet but if you look at March on the link below you will see there are several buses to Pamplona that would get you there the same day. (The timetable is unlikely to alter much for May) The Spanish bus system is very reliable...
