    Bedding

    What are peoples thoughts on bedding? Do I bring my light sleeping bag or leave it behind and use the bedding provided? My concern is bedbugs. I start el Norte tomorrow but can leave my bag with a friend.

    Train through Bilbao

    Any suggestions on where to get on and off the train to avoid walking through Bilbao? I not crazy about city walking. I’m in Bilbao now getting over jet lag and enjoying the town and will soon start out from Irun.

    Pasajes San Juan accommodation

    Thank you very much for this information. I start Camino on the 1st and really this first stop is the only thing I’m a little bit stressed about. I would prefer to have my first day shorter and start off easy. I feel better now knowing it’s probable that I’ll get a bed. Another question though-...

    Packing for del Norte in June

    Thank you everyone for your replies! It really helps! It feels a bit daunting at times to do this alone at 65 yrs old but I can feel the camaraderie coming through this forum and I am sure I will find the same along the path! :)

    Packing for del Norte in June

    Thank you that’s helpful. I’m surprised though that you wear trail runners instead of hiking boot. Is that the norm? I may need to, quickly, rethink my footwear.

    Packing for del Norte in June

I’m bringing a sweatshirt and rain gear of course but do I need long sleeve shirt? Also even though I was married to a...

    1st pilgrimage, 65, female, solo, asking for advice

    Hello Marska. I am also a 65 year old woman from the US about to embark on my first Camino in May. Solo. A little scary, yes but I know I can do it. I am doing El Norte. A bit more demanding but one of the prettiest places in the world in my opinion and well worth the extra incline. There could...

    Ok. Thanks. I was concerned about rain seeping into my boots. I’ll check those out.

    Really? Even up along the coast? That would be so sweet if I could avoid rain but…

    Gaiters?

    Hi! I am walking the Northern route in May and I’m wondering if I should bring gaiters to keep inside of boot dry. Also where can I find small? For women? So far the ankle part just doesn’t close tight enough. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and have a month of blue skies!! Hahaha!!
