Crickey and that was last year. I am seriously considering a lightweight tent this year, things sound as though they may get a little crazy on the accommodation front!

Hi All,
I have all of september this year to walk (and a little in August if needed), originally I wanted the Frances route but it sounds as though it will be crazy busy. Many people have mentioned the north but it seems to get such mixed reviews. I do enjoy the sea but also like forests etc etc...

Hi,
Looking forward to El Camino this year and was just wondering if anyone has a view on which would be the nicest month to do the majority of the walk in( at present i think it will be the Frances route but this may change to include some of the North? I think i have ruled out August due to...

Hi All,
I was just wondering whether or not I should consider taking a bivi (ultra lite tent) and mat in september if all the accommodation will be taken. There was some mention of school halls etc being used to cope with increased demand this year. Any opinions? Maybe just the mat?
Thx Jason
Hi All,
I have a few months to prepare for the camino and recently I can across the concept of Nordic walking. It essentially like cross country skiing without skis or snow! Apparently you need special poles and a bit of training. I have a bad knee and ankle and the guy who is promoting it in...

Once again many thanks to everyone for taking the time to pen me a few words of encouragement. To be honest I have had a bit of a tough time the last few years and when you feel like your back is against the wall and no one around cares you exist, to receive a few heart felt posts from strangers...
