    So an update on my leg: On Monday I had my achilles scanned, and while the doc said the tendon is fine, there's still some inflammation and fluid in there that needs time and rest to go away. Current plan is to stay here in Burgos until Friday, and then take a bike across to Leon (which the...

    Thanks Rob, I still need a scan to be 100% sure but the doc says all I should need is ice and rest. It's on to Burgos for me now (as they can't give me a scan in Santo Domingo). I'm bummed, but trying to keep my spirits up! My little Camino family I've had for the last week have been amazing...

    Ok. So rest day on Logrono was great (despite being alittle under the weather). Only a small ache in my leg during the 30km to Najera. Pain was manageable then but not today (no sharp pains still, so I'm hoping nothing is torn). Walked the 5-odd km to Azofra with my ankle wrapped. It was slow...

    The weather has been pretty great. Day one way rather foggy and cool, but I guess that's to be expected gong over the mountains. Day two was the only rain so far, but it wasn't overly heavy, and the sun was out by the end of the walk. Since then it's been a good mix of overcast and sunny. Ok...

    Success! Turns out I wasn't alone in sending bags to the closed hostel. It appears to be really busy this year, there are still people coming in of the walk at 4:30-5 pm, but most of the accommodation in Zubiri is full.

    Day two of walking done (to Zubiri), I found the sweety spot with my pack straps and got into a good walking rhythm. Upon arrival I've hit a slight snag. I hadn't booked any accommodation in Zubiri, and so had sent my small backpack on to the first hostel on the 'Buen Camino' app list...

    Thanks for all the advice and kind words everyone. Day one is done and dusted, and I'm now waiting on my timeslot for dinner @roncesvalles. A little sore in the shoulders and legs, but nothing alittle stretching can't fix. Unfortunately it was foggy all day, and so didn't quite get the views...

    Hi, So I'm sitting here in SJPDP, contemplating my beer, and figured I would try and share my story as I attempt the Camino Frances. My name is Ryan and I'm 32 y/o. I'm likely underprepared, and I've definitely over packed :). (Thankfully, there are baggage transfer services) I've spent the...

    First Camino! I went back and forth on which route to take, and I'm now set on doing the Frances. Starting in SJPDP on the 2nd of May. Buen Camino
