    LIVE from the Camino Trash

    No to Porta Potties! Ugh! But, walking at the end of October/November from St Jean we were surprised at how few bins there were along the way. Or notices about not leaving litter. We didn't stay much in albergues but some 'education' posted in them would be a good idea. And the suggestion...

    Camino Nov - Dec first-timer!

    Currently in Santiago. It's very cold but sunny. Frosty mornings, sunny afternoons. Sometimes a misty start too. We didn't stay much in pilgrim albergues but in Arzúa it was pretty warm in the dormitory that night. Gloves, hat, buff and thermal leggings under trousers were standard for me from...

    Weather on the Meseta

    We are currently walking it now. Started in St Jean last Thursday in Oct and reached Burgos on 6th November. Since Burgos the weather has been much colder but still walkable and no rain. In total we've had just one significant downpour. Before Burgos. The scenery is utterly beautiful and...

    Pamplona to santiago november to dec 2017

    Currently in Pamplona. Weather is mild. Long sleeved T-shirts. Trousers. Possibly shorts. Mornings cooler but perfect walking weather with a heavy rucksack. Loads of pilgrims at Roncesvalles but after Zubiri we've been mystified as to where they've gone! Certainly no problem in finding...

    New unwanted markings of the Camino

    It's a universal problem and I think 'pooing in the woods' is a development that has exploded in the last 2 years especially. I live in France and the Lake District and suddenly, I can't walk in my usual haunts without having to take avoiding action. It is disgusting. And I suspect that...

    Steep (really steep) descents on unsealed surfaces - how to avoid them?

    I also had vertigo a few years ago - I don't know whether it was your sort - and went to my GP who manipulated my neck somehow (and also sorted out my ear, which was blocked!). I had a really unpleasant weekend but since then have only had one very mild episode. I know how you feel though...

    Gaillac diversion

    Oh that's fantastic. I have no imminent plans - I'm thinking more about next spring really. I had planned to walk the le puy route last autumn with my husband but he had a knee injury and we put it on hold. Since then life has got in the way, the purchase came up and it seems right to walk...

    Gaillac diversion

    I understand that there is a pilgrimage route that goes through Gaillac. I'd like to start my walk from our new home in Cordes Sur Ciel nearby. Otherwise Moissac is probably the closest place that I can join it. But it's a long long way from Cordes. Does anyone know of the route that...

    Gite in Le Puy

    Had a look at Les Capuchins but it seems very expensive (90E + per night). Or am I looking in the wrong bit? Entirely possible!

    Starting in Le Puy late August

    We're starting late August too. Have you already booked accommodation in Le Puy and, if so, where?

    Worrying Trend

    Frankly, if you can't garnish your Hendricks properly its a pretty poor show. And as for McDonalds.....scraping the barrel a bit there.......is there no Pret?
