    Has anyone here started early April on the Camino Frances?

    We started around March 20, 2018, think that was a particularly wet year. We walked for 33 days and it rained for 31 of them. It snowed on that big hill in the forest after Montes de Oca and around O Cebreiro and Fonfria - we were post holing up to our knees at one point (we had to get off the...

    Bed bugs & getting rid of gear

    Re treating the itchiness, corticosteroid cream did nothing for me. So I use the hot spoon method. I’m not sure how evidence based it is but it worked for me and I react terribly to BB bites. Google it and give it a go. I added an antihistamine tablet too but check with a medical professional...

    Is this man and shop still present in Castrojeriz?

    I am so happy to hear that he is still going! I will definitely make a point of passing through and shopping at his shop when I do my 3rd CF in June/July 2022 :)

    If you have/are walking this summer... Would you do it again, knowing the restrictions/challenges?

    I'll be watching too! Sadly, I won't be able to go until Australia opens up again. I would really love to walk from Almeria to SDC finishing in Muxia, via Finisterre.

    What was your first day like?

    My sister and I walked our Camino in August 2016. We chose to walk the Valcarlos Route because neither of us were sure that we were up to tackling the Pyrenees (with what I know now, I think we'd be fine). We started the day by catching a morning train from Bayonne into SJPDP and immediately...

    Arrow at Burguete

    My partner and I missed that turn off too until a nice man turned us around 😁

    Wallowing in Self Pity

    I feel you! My sister and I were to start the Camino Madrid and then the Invierno to SDC starting June 1st. When we decided to do this, June 1st felt like an eternity away and now it has been and gone. The whole year has not started well in Australia with the Bushfires and COVID. It feels like...

    Save the Las Herrerias horses.

    Hi, yep this is legit. I was one of those people hauled up the mountain on one of those horses (but hey, I've climbed up to O Cebreiro. It was a nice experience). I have made a contribution. Victor is a nice guy and his horses are well looked after.

    Horse rental AL PASO in Las herrerías

    Hi, I've ridden with Victor and his horses. They are well groomed and definitely well fed as well as loved. The tack and helmets could use an update though - a bit scrappy. Loved the experience.

    Bunk beds

    I’m sure my patients tread and fall all over each other in their cells at times (which may lead to how they got their injuries in the first place 😉) but they rarely tell you exactly what happened. The falling out of bed thing is a cover usually for something more serious occurring. Anyway, what...

    Bunk beds

    Nope

    Bunk beds

    True that. I get quite a few patients with the odd fracture telling me they “fell out of bed”. They also “slip over in the shower” too. My patients are prison inmates though 😉

    Still As Busy?

    Funny signs on the Camino and those that lend themselves to humour!

    I found this one on the wall of a bathroom in Navarette 😁

    The Camino Heals - delayed realisations post two Caminos

    It is definitely the best way to decompress in what I do. I aim to try for another camino every second year as decompression is my only guarantee to longevity in my job. It's a great job and I don't want to let it burn me out :)

    The Camino Heals - delayed realisations post two Caminos

    Thank you! Before i left for my last Camino back in March, most of my patients knew I was doing a long long hike. Whether they were appalled or inspired, they were all definitely interested in it.
