    Geneva to Le Puy GPS

    Looking for advice about Camino Le Puy

    A lot, mostly French people when I walked March April this year. Many were retirees. You’ll have no problems at all with gites, and every night is a communal meal. I can’t recommend it enough, it was a beautiful Way :)

    Help me slow down my Camino Primitivo

    Hi 👋 I’ve just finished the Primitivo and there are two Albergues towards the end where the hospitality and warmth are out of this world, as well as delicious communal meals. The first is in Bodenaya - Refugio de Peregrinos (I recommend booking in advance), and the other is A Pocina de Muniz...

    Food on Le Puy

    I’ve just walked this route. Just keep in mind that it’s not at all like the CF, which if my memory serves me correctly, had food stops seemingly everywhere. It will definitely require a little more planning on your part, but nothing to be worried about! Mondays though nearly everything was...

    LIVE from the Camino Bed racing on the Norte - thoughts after 1,5 weeks here

    HOKA warning

    Help - Going with companion, but want to be alone

    Tell him. This is YOUR Camino. He’ll find his way. He’s a grown man for goodness’ sake. You probably should have had the conversation sooner, but it is what it is.

    Down jacket or No?

    Hello Lisa, fellow Australian here. I’m currently walking the Le Puy route and brought a down jacket with me, as well as a fleece, rain jacket and long sleeve merino. 2 days ago I mailed the down jacket home. Today it was 3-5C and my merinos plus rain jacket sufficed whilst walking. Hope this helps.
