    Southern Upland Way

    We walked it a couple of years ago and found it quite difficult. The first third was very poorly marked and there is indeed a lot of bog! We also had terrible weather for that stretch. We stayed in at least 3 places that were on the point of closing/being sold. We got the impression that...

    Help me track down somewhere I stayed!

    I think you may be thinking of the Moulin de Piis in Bassane. A magnificent place to stay a bit off the stage from La Reole to Bazas. Restored mill with beautiful wooden pilgrim beds on the upper floor.

    Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic

    Having walked many routes in Spain, England, Italy and France, we would like to turn to Eastern Europe. However, we are finding it difficult to find information on possible routes. I believe there are routes marked. Can anyone guide me to routes centred around the Prague, Budapest and Vienna...

    Anyone know how much road walking is involved?

    We walked that section of the Via Francigena in the Spring of 2014. There was a LOT of road walking at that time but I know there have been attempts to get the route off the roads. A small part, about 5% was on busy, trunk-style highways, which can be very unnerving. We did usually manage to...

    those red-brown cups EVERYWHERE

    I believe that they are yogurt containers in their first incarnation! So...you might have to go back to Spain, or France, and eat lots of yogurt.

    Mirepoix- SJPP

    This is a beautiful route. If you read French, there is a Lepere guide called "Sur le Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (La Voie des Piemonts, entre Cevennes et Pyenees) published in 2013. There are quite a few reasonably priced places to stay if you decide against camping. would be glad...

    Via de la plata- Hard Map?

    Hi all, We're planning to start the Via de la Plata on April 1. Do you think it's necessary to take big sleeping bags or do most/all places provide blankets? Hate to carry extra weight! Ultreia!

    Via Francigena

    We walked the VF from Martigny to Rome last spring and it was wonderful. The sign posting was pretty good for much of it and we never had any difficulty finding accommodation. Would be happy to send you our plans and answer specific questions.

    Arles to Via Francigena

    We loved the VF because it felt to us what we imagine the Camino Frances might have felt like 25 years ago. Indeed of the pilgrimage routes we have walked, this was one of our favorites. There was plenty of accommodation (lots of good religious institutions) and everybody along the way was...

    Arles to Via Francigena

    Having just finished the Via Francigena from Aosta to Rome, we would like to walk a link from Arles or Le Puy to the Via Francigena. Does anyone have information or suggestions on the benefits or downsides of the Via Aurelia, the Via Domitia or any other way of linking these places so that we...

    Starting in Pamiers , onto Lourdes and St. Jean Pied de Port

    Just came back from a wonderful walk from Narbonne to Bayonne. Took the Sentier Cathare from Narbonne to Foix and then cut over to the Chemin du Piemont. Happy to supply more details but FatmaG's notes are excellent. One of the unexpected highlights of the walk was the last three days from...
