Hi just started my Camino from Porto today - and ruined my feet on day 1 with my boots that were fantastic last year on the Francis - I am at vila do condo but will never make it to Barcelos tomorrow - any recommendation on albergues in either Rates or Pedra Furada?
I am starting my 2nd camino from Bilbao on 24 September - so excited to just to set out and just........walk......- if anyone is walking around that time I hope to catch you on the trail...
Hi - I have walked the CF last March on my own - snow, rain, sun - i loved every minute. I am in my 60's and the infrastructure of the Frances was ....comforting... - though I must admit the section from Sarria was not a favourite...beautiful but just not really for me.
I am walking alone again...
Hi - I have only 14 days from late September to mid October - I was planning on walking from Porto to Santiago which I think should be fine -but..... I really dont like walking in very hot weather.... - at that time of year would those weeks be cooler on the Le Puy (a section of it) or would...
Hi - I have noticed many albergues that are listed as year round open are sometimes closed - anyone walking at the moment provide assurances re albergues open from Burgos to fromista ? Also are there bars open in villages and supermarkets for supplies ? Advice from people walking at the moment...
hi Keith - where are you now? I am in Pamplona and leaving tomorrow. It has been hard work - I went to roncesvalles using the trails and wished I had not - others on the road were much faster.

I have arranged for “send my bag “ to transfer bag from SJPDP to SDC this week. I have addressed the bag to me c/- of ivar as per the instructions - do I need to tell ivar I am sending it or just assume it’s ok ?
Hi David - Thank you for all that you do! - amazing -I know that I would appreciate seeing friendly eyes on the Way - I commence 2 March and will be solo - with the weather ....... nervous is the word that comes to mind .. whether you get there, or are there doesn't matter - your kindness is...
Hi Juan - no - the only accommodation I have is in Saint Jean - the rest is up to the Camino.....I will follow you here and send a message once on the trail? follow as on this forum - i think i will be in front of you on the walk :)
Hi Juan - I get into SJPP on 1 March - probably leaving (if weather is cooperative) on 2 March but I may go to Valcarlos only on Day 1 if weather is not so great and then go a bit further than Roncesvalles on the next day. Hopefully I will meet you and your daughter on the Way. Suz
Hi Firewood - well you may find me still in SJPDP if the weather is as bad as it seems to be at the moment ;)
- or you will probably catch up with me - either way I am very happy there will be others around the Way - I am sure just that knowledge provides some confidence!
Hi everyone - i commence from SJPDP on 2 March - has anyone walked in conditions that mean the way markers may be covered? - I am walking alone and I must admit a little nervous of the weather!
