    Hiking for two weeks - best place to start

    What about starting in St Jeanne - Walking as far as it takes you - and bus to Santiago.

    Via de la Plata around Christmas

    Well so much for my optimism - I fell down the stairs and did some serious damage - I'll still be on crutches at Christmas. I am going to Seville anyway....but I'll be doing a bit of busing around instead of hiking......

    Via de la Plata around Christmas

    Ah thanks - I should add that I am Irish - so I've done a fair bit of walking here in unkind weather..... No such thing as bad weather - Only bad clothes - or so they say....

    Via de la Plata around Christmas

    I see my query got a lot of views - so I'll be sure and come back here and write about my experience(s) after my trip. In the meantime - if anyone else out there has been on that leg at this specific time - I'd love to hear how you got on.

    Via de la Plata around Christmas

    Thank you again. I like hiking alone so that won't bother me. Like to meet a few people at night though - but that won't be the end of the world -as I will only be walking for a short time. And thanks for the advice on the streams. A bit of a problem for me as I have a dodgy leg - so my...

    Freqency of Hostels and Public Transport

    I planned to walk for about 5/6 days in early September. However I hurt my leg and may only be able to walk for a short time each day. I have the Guide by Alison Raju. It shows distances between villages/points of interest. It only shows where Refugios are though. So my first question is - is...

    Can you recommend a good, light, inexpensive sleeping bag?

    I want to order my bag on line. there is some brialliant information here - but apart from the Snugpack ( it seems grand - but is that bit heavier than the others ) i cant seem to find one I can order from the UK. I am in Ireland and I am travelling on 1st September so I want to make sure I get...
