Tandem Graham replied to the thread Need something to do before Camino.Bayonne is a lovely small city. Try lunch near the riverside market hall and do visit the cathedral. Oh, Bayonne's chocolate makers have a deserved strong reputation too! There's an Albergue/Gite d'Etape and a decent range of other afforadble... -
This is an interesting dialog. I thought how best to contribute. I decided to make a list. I part, it duplicates some of the comments above from other veteran pilgrims - thank you. Here are some observations from long-experience - for fair...

Whatever you’re comfortable carrying? But how many know what that is? Participants on here range from lightweight fanatic racing-snakes through to those who are entirely unaccustomed to even one day’s long walk with a sack and the 10% ‘rule’ is...

A €12.000 fine is nothing! Imagine being responsible for the death or injury of a First Responder attempting your rescue. How could you live your life with that guilt? -Paul

Tandem Graham reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Credentials of Confraternity of St James with
Like.
To hopefully clear up some confusion (and not just create more). A lot of people are saying that no pre-registration with the national pilgrim association is necessary, and that one can just bring along a credencial (or get one at the start) and... -
Tandem Graham reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Credentials of Confraternity of St James with Like.
I will admit that when I read CSJ in the thread title, my mind immediately went to the UK. But the confusion seems to have persisted past posts 7 and 9, and the responses may be confusing to OP and future readers, which is why I thought it worth...
