    Early planning and some questions

    We were in your shoes a year ago and walking without a back pack first was good advice that we took. We got up to 15 miles (after 10 miles it gets harder) then reduced miles and added a almost full backpack and gradually increased miles from there. Many people will reply what you need or don't...

    How much and how long did you train?

    I agree with Ascensions. In our training, we are noticing that once we get past the 10 mile mark, things become different. You should walk beyond 10 miles to see if you have any issues.

    There are 2 IBIS hotels in Bayonne. The IBIS Gare is close to the train station. The one we are staying at is farther out along the river and a longer walk to the train station (maybe half mile). Google maps has a few other hotels near the train station. I probably didn't care for the...

    Ship to SJPP

    I was trying to reserve Hotel Le Monte Carlo which is across from the train station. After a couple weeks of no replies, I booked IBIS Bayonne Centre. It's not as close to the train station as Le Monte Carlo (They ended up replying after I booked IBIS; they were on a 2 week winter hiatus).

    2016 September/October Peregrinos

    Hi Fred Could you add me and my wife Beth to your list please. After years of waiting, the time has finally come. We will be leaving SJPP on Sept 9, 2016. Thanks to all the great advice we've gotten from the many veteran Camino members on this forum.

    Wide Width Shoes

    New Balance has the best true "wide" shoes. Ordered many online and kept returning them (free shipping on returns) until I got the right size. My wife ended up keeping one of the men's size that I was going to return for herself.
