    Travelling from Manchester, England to SJPDP - advice?

    Hi Another approach could be train. We used it to get from Middlesbrough to Santander to walk on the Camino del Norte last September. We arrived the night before in Londo, stayed for the (short) night in the cheapest and closest Hotel we could find. Then we took the 06:18 Eurostar to Paris...

    Are my feet meant for walking?

    No worries I walked the Camino Frances, The Ingles and had the "aching feet" without blisters for the first few days. It stopped after a week. I am sure that these are just the short muscles in the foot which are simply not trained enough and get fit over time. Buen Camino!

    How do you know when to call it/give up?

    Hi I have followed this thread and are relieved that it´s nothing worse - still a painful condition. Regards travel insurance: I assume you are not from an EU-country? If you hold a Credit Card and you have paid anything during this pilgrimage or e.g. the flight, you might have one with your...

    How Much Water are People Carrying and Drinking?

    Hi I have a 1.5liter bottle on my backpack. I tend to drink a sip every 20 minutes (when warm) and refill whenever possible - if half empty. In bars, public building (washroom)... on fountains -unless it says "no drinking water" or similar. If the locals can drink it, so can I. This has worked...
