Thanks. This information about the roads is exactly what I need to know.
Specialy knowing about shoulders is very important.
My wheelchair looks a bit like a bike (I use a connected steering attachement) and that is one of the reasons why I decided to drive on the right side of the road but I...
Dank je!
This is great information. I will take "langs oude wegen". I consider the Somportpass too. 12% I did before and is doable (I even did 25, that is not nice and I had to do it backwards, but I managed).
Thanks, this YouTube film give a good view. I think that this road is doable (it look beter than some roads I took in the massive central (1400m high). I just have to take care that I wear high visible clothing (I always have that with me).
I hope i find a way to do it on my own, but i need paved (or at least not muddy/sandy roads), inexpect to roll the same road as the cars.
amazing that you walked it with your son. Hopefully you find a way to do it together again.
I have a Ti-lite wheelchair (titanium wheelchair in exactly my...
Thanks,
I do it on my own. Just me, my wheelchair and last but not least, with God. and on the way I prefer to camp in my little tent of at peoples homes. I can walk a few meter (even stairs when I really have to) and that helps a lot.
Amazing you still find ways to go walking with a walker And...
Hi,
I don't do my pilgrimage by bicycle but by wheelchair but I mainly follow the cycling routes that is why I post it here.
2016 I started my pilgrimage in the Netherlands. 2016 haarlem-den Bosch, 2017 Den Bosch-Maastricht, 2018 Maastricht-Reims, 2019 Reims-Vezelay, 2020 Vezelay-Taizé, 2021...
Dank je. De operatie is gebeurd en hoewel ik nog niet de oude ben kan ik weer de gewone dingen en durf ik weer plannen te maken. 2024 (waarschijnlijk april) verwacht ik van Rocamadour naar Lourdes en dan de Spaanse grens te gaan.
Wie weet treffen we elkaar nog eens onderweg.
Buen camino!
It is doable in a wheelchair. I do it every year. It takes a little more preparation and sometimes it is a big search to find out how to make things posible, which wheelchair is the best, where to sleep, etc. But it is worth to try and go for it.
On my website I write about how I do it...
It is also posible to visit Vezelay and Le-Puy-en-Velay on the way, I did it thar on my pilgrimage by wheelchair.
I started in the Netherlands but I changed my route a few times because I wanted to visit different pilgrimage places. After Vezelay I decided to go to Paray-le-Monial, Taizé and...
2016 ben ik met mn rolstoel vertrokken vanaf Nederland en zo ieder jaar een stukje verder gerold via oa den Bosch, Maastricht, Reims, Vezelay, Taizé en Le-Puy-en-Velay (niet de kortste weg dus).
Vorig jaar in Rocamadour aangekomen. Dit jaar helaas ivm een rugoperatie niet kunnen gaan maar 2024...
I do the pilgrimage by wheelchair (but I can walk a few meter)
2016 I started in the Netherlands and every year I do a part of the road.
Last year I finished in Rocamadour (South of France) and there I will start next year again.
I have a small tent with me because that helps with finding a...
I did not do a pilgrimage in Spain yet (I started my ♿️ wheelchair pilgrimage in the netherlands 🇳🇱 and do every year a part of the route. "Now" I am in the south of France, Rocamadour) but in France I normally eat very simple food. Not just because i travel on a very low budget but also...
