    Walking Camino Ingles Aug/Sep 2007

    Walking Camino Ingles Aug/Sep 2007 - completed!!! Yes; I walked the Camino Ingles 28 Aug - 1 Sep, five days, and I absolutely loved it! It is a walk in solitude - first fellow peregrino I ever met was in Bruma - after three days. I want to shear some of my experiences with the rest of you...

    Walking Camino Ingles Aug/Sep 2007

    Having read some of the post regarding this walk, I have concluded i must have made the right decision: Walking Camino Ingles from Ferrol, starting 28th August. Planning to reach Santiago on 2nd or 3rd September, which should be possible. Even if I make this trip in order to avoid the...

    First Time Trip ?'s

    You should not worry about those questions - I had my walk (the first) late May this year and had very little ideas about what to expect - except all the good advises on this web. Trail was well marked (except a few places, but created no problems), shoes similar to yours and the refugios were...

    Pilgrimage Routes in Europe

    He, he.....Last week was probably the summer this year! But you are right - even this far to the North we get some sun and warm weather every now and then. Having said that, walking the routes in Norway which also crosses mountains (of course you know Norway is nothing but fjords and mountains...

    Pilgrimage Routes in Europe

    You may be surprised to learn that there are pilgrim roads in Norway! So, sorry Wulf and Sil, not all places in Europe are hot and crowded in August..... -Zohar -

    Water amount

    Water Hello; I agree with not carrying too much water - I carried a 500 ml bottle myself. The one place I had problems were crossing the Cize Pass from SJPP to Roncesvalles as there are few water sources on that climb and I ran into an extremely strong head-wind almost wearing me out...

    Bayonne to SJPP

    Sorry.....there is a "slight" difference between pm and am..... Arriving that late in the evening it seems to me you either take a cab to SJPP or stay over night in the Bayonne area, catching a train in the morning. My recommendation is then to head off and stay over night at the refuge of...

    Bayonne to SJPP

    I recently made the trip and came to Biarritz (which is basically also Bayonne) too late to catch the afternoon train. Well, my two options were staying overnight in Biarritz or grab a cab. The cab was 90 euros, but as we turned out to be four heading the same direction, knowing the prices for...

    The Camino rush

    Hi Liv-Marit; I absolutely agree with you: Walk the Camino the way YOU want! I did the same a week ago, making time for reflections, observing the nature, smells, sounds etc. No need rushing along the paths missing the Magic of the Camino. In Pamplona, passing through the University area, a...

    English in Galicia

    Ivar; That statistic is probably right. I had a hard time 3 1/2 years ago when I arrived at A Coroña to join the oil spill response operation after the Prestige accident. I did, however, experience that the people were extremely helpful and WANTED me to understand and to understand me. This...

    Can anyone help

    Hi Beverley; If your primary goal is to obtain the Compostella this time, I think Sillydoll has the best suggestion. If, on the other hand, you do a little long term planning, there are other options. I myself, startet the Camino in St Jean Pied de Port in France making the way to Logrono in 7...

    Greetings and Excitement!

    Hi Chris; First thing first: Language. If your knowledge about French and Spanish is what I think - don't even consider it a problem! I have just walked (part of) the Camino, and my French is rusty, my Spanish next to nothing (I am Norwegian), but I had no problems getting alone. Even...

    Trip timing and will I find beds in July and August?

    El Camino Frances Hello Monica; Read your mail about your plan on doing El Camino in such a short time - yes, it is a short time, even if you are fit. I have just completed the first approx 1/4 of the road, and my advice to you is simple: Do not push the way you plan! There are several...
