    Best time/temperature to walk the Camino Frances

    When I talk to folks who have walked numerous routes & locations over multiple years, no year is the same for rain/snow. Yet I do take notice that some settle into a fall walk Oct- Nov or an Early April Thru May. Then you meet the folks who really like the heat. July - August. Personally I...

    'Nobody owes you anything' Really?

    Like many of you, I had times that I found emotionally hard/harsh from others. It is all part of the Camino, a person has to basically suck it up & walk on. As the vast encounters are so much more positive. In the big picture we get way more out of the Camino than the few exceptions. The...

    Shoe problem

    I am glad to see you are wearing your gear before you leave. I had the same issue finding what would work. I ended up with keens (non waterproof)& “sole” footbeds. Just like a running shoe no break in period. The only issue I have with keens is if your going to walk from France to the ocean...

    Planning for Camino Frances April 2023 - How cold is it?

    You never know why you will get on any given year. I was glad for my sleeping bag the first half of April, by the third week blankets or just a down blanket was plenty.

    April-May 2023 Route Undecided

    From the short start of the thread I assume this will be your first Camino? If that is the case, many of us realize very quickly that we either love having the personal relationships we build as we walk or find that we prefer a quiet less traveled route. That said, it really surprised me that I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans vaccinated allowed to France in May

    That would be the governments responsibility for the area. I have to get out of my armchair now.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans vaccinated allowed to France in May

    I guess that tells me you arn’t a trucker 😎 Back to the topic of French allowing non European folks into France. Anyone? Has Spain put security on the crossing points such as the trail from Pied de port to Roncevalleas Or the crossing points from Portugal into Spain?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans vaccinated allowed to France in May

    ML Alberta girl I am very relieved to know you have received one dose. As you know this has been a very difficult year. There has been enough loss in our world. Yet the world has a very long way to go. I am glad you are planning another. So I ask all to join in simply sending a prayer to ask to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Americans vaccinated allowed to France in May

    Personally I pray the US will share the vaccine with our world brothers & sisters. This can only go away if the shots get into arms. We have the product but we can’t hoard it while we wait for those who can’t find the time to go get it. Makes me crazy my neighbors just across the border are...
