    sweat/jogging pants, and electric toothbrushes

    But is the charger 220 or 110 volts? For Spain and Europe in general you need 220 volt devices.

    West Highland Way compared to Camino Frances/Portuguese

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my original question. Having considered these comments, and quite a lot of other research elsewhere, we have taken the plunge and decided to walk the WHW in early July. As it's a few years since we last backpacked in summer, and the terrain being...

    West Highland Way compared to Camino Frances/Portuguese

    Thanks for the advice. I realise now that I forgot to mention that we were planning on using an agency to arrange accommodation and bag transfer along the route. Our days camping days are over. We've been there and done that stuff.🤗

    West Highland Way compared to Camino Frances/Portuguese

    My wife and I are from the UK and have walked the Camino Frances from St Jean twice and the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon once. We carried all our stuff for the whole distance on each occasion. We did not find any part of the trails too arduous at any point. We are currently planning to walk...

    Just for fun...your muddy shoes

    Ah yes. But if the sun had been shining it would have been a glorious walk across the heathland. Even with the rain and mud it was a nice route. The walk alongside the road was still tedious even with the sun shining. If it had rained on that route it would have been doubly tedious, ugh!😥

    Just for fun...your muddy shoes

    You're correct. It was a very sticky clay that weighed an extraordinary amount. We also had to stop frequently to try to clean it off with our walking poles. But it was a very nice route to Vilar de Mazarife. Much nicer than following the N120 to Viladangos as we did last year. That was very...

    Not mine, but my wife's. Mine were just as bad. Photo taken as we crossed the heathland after leaving La Virgen del Camino, near Leon.

    How does the Madrid compare to the Frances?

    Would you like a trip in my time machine? I could make space for you. Whoops. Red faces all around.

    How does the Madrid compare to the Frances?

    Hey! Can I drop in on your blog as well. We're aiming to do the Madrid followed by the Santiago - Finisterre - Muxia triangle in September. It would be great to follow how you get on along the Madrid. We've already done the Frances (twice) and the Portuguese from Lisbon, so we're now trying...

    Travelling from Manchester, England to SJPDP - advice?

    Travelling from Manchester, England to SJPDP - advice?

    We live in Halifax, very close to Manchester, and have started both of our Camino Frances journeys by train. Not particularly cheap, but a very relaxing way to start. We've used intercity to London, overnight there, followed by Eurostar to Paris and TGV to Bayonne for another overnight. The...
