I walked the Frances last year from start to finish. I collected all the stamps but did not get the Compostela. I knew it would just sit in a drawer somewhere. I do intend to maybe frame my credential at some point though. Doesn’t really help you but it’s an example of someone who did not collect.
I wore Altra LP 6’s last year and did the whole Camino Frances. Super comfy and not one single blister! I’m still hiking every week and won’t wear anything else. Waiting for the LP 7’s to arrive now. Excellent shoes.
I’ve just completed the Camino Frances. SJPP to Santiago. I did not get one blister, not one! I did however take care of my feet.
Trail runners: Altra Lone Peak 6. Wide toe box which meant my toes were not squashed. They are not waterproof but this did mean they dried out quickly and I never...

Hi Guys,
I am leaving London tomorrow with my wife and daughter in our Camper for a 2 week pre Camino tour. They will drop me in San Sebastian then I will head to SJPP to start the Camino.
My question is, Does anyone know the rules for arriving by land. I've looked online and there only seems...
Thanks Susan, I have now pre booked right up to Puente la Reina which is 6 nights. You are right, Zubiri was already really busy. Really hoping it thins out as stupidly I thought the time I selected was going to be quieter. I don't think I can handle having to dash around at the end of a walk...
Just checked mine, I wear a UK 11 and these are a UK and fit like a glove. Like someone else mentioned, these are zero drop but I have found no problems adjusting.
I actually can't remember what size I bought, I'm out right now but will look when I get home. I really don't think I've ever worn anything so instantly comfortable. Re the Northface, they were fine for a while but when I ramped up the training they failed me
I've just bought the Altra Lone Peak 6 and as mentioned above they have a really wide toe box which I need, they are super light and probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I did 20K's this morning, 15k's yesterday and they felt like slippers. I originally bought a pair of North Face...
Thank you @Bradypus & @biarritzdon really helpful. I can actually see this route based on your suggestion.
SS to Bayonne 09.50 / 11.10
Bayonne to SJPP 11.24 / 12.41
One last question, do you think these will need to be pre booked, I am guessing local trains will be just bought on the day, my...
I've had a search and can only find a 3 year old thread so checking to see if there are any updates.
Pre Camino I am doing a road trip with my wife and daughter in our camper. They will leave me in San Sebastian on the 15th April. I planned to spend 2 nights there then head to SJPP on the 17th...
