Claire,your post pretty much echoes my thoughts at present.The Camino seems to get further away for me with new variants,increasing cases etc not withstanding the fact I have had both vaccinations.I personally am not prepared to travel unless the situation becomes a lot clearer and the risk of a...
Thank you for your kind words.
My new plan is to walk the Camino del Baztan before picking up the Camino Frances in Pamplona.
I have reconciled my decision with the fact that I have enjoyed the planning over the last two years so I have another two years planning to look forward to!...every...
Thank you Chrissy,
I am sure I am in good company in sharing my disappointment with many others who have regrettably come to the same decision.
Always helps to keep a sense of perspective though and I am sure I will make it and already making plans for 2022.....as next year may be too busy if...
Unfortunately I have decided that rather than prolong the uncertainty,I have cancelled my accommodation options and put any thoughts of completing any sort of Camino this year firmly out of my mind for the foreseeable future.
It is of course purely a personal decision based on the information...
Thank you for the confirmation,I will investigate what other accommodation options are available and may have to make some revisions to my previously planned stages
Thanks Fleur,
I recall reading that this route is limited In terms of available facilities so with the Covid pandemic anticipate this will be even more restricted.

I still have a flight booked to Biarritz and a flight back from Santiago I am sure I could rearrange so I am seriously considering whether I might still...
On recommendations of others,I also decided to purchase the guide.Compact and lightweight certainly but loads of relevant,useful information and looking forward to using on the route later this year.
Thank you for your advice,I have discussed with my brother, who is joining me for the first week and we have agreed that the Camino Baztan definitely appeals.
So revised plan is for us to walk the Baztan from Bayonne to Pamplona starting 7th of September ,he will then return back to the UK and I...
Good thinking,my brother will be returning back to the UK when we reach Pamplona so I can always land him with any gear I want to keep,but the wear and discard approach definitely appeals
I am planning to walk the Camino del Baztan starting in early September next year before joining the Camino Frances to hopefully complete in Mid October.
Any advice regarding any differences in equipment/clothing etc?
Thank you
Fleur,
Thank you for the reassurance,I will try and convince my brother but he is going to a long way out of his normal comfort zone,when it is all part of the appeal for me.
I’m sure I am not alone in thinking why more pilgrims do not take this route to join the Camino Frances.
From what I...
