    Camino Ingles vs the Inca Trail

    I have walked both and you will find the Ingles very doable. No elevation anything like Dead Woman's pass. Enjoy, it is a great walk. I hope to do it again with a group next year.

    Starting the Camino from the end of Le Puy/ Arles

    Sarria too busy?

    Mindset plays a big part here. What do you want from it? I led a group on this section in late September/early October and myself and my co-leader where the only ones who had walked it before. Yes it was busier but the crods thinned out as the day went on and at all stages we looked for the joy...

    Rest Day: Pontevedra, CaldasdeReis, or Padron?

    All our lovely but Pontevedra my favourite. Lots to see, plenty of cafes to people watch and chill, beautiful basillica and other buildings and great food.

    Best spots to buy camino gear in London?

    Mountain Warehouse are excellent and also Go Outdoors and often you can pick up great gear in TK Maxx and also in sales. Sports shops too, there are many places.

    Disappointing Experience at Hospedería San Martín Pinario

    I stayed there in May and in October and a friend stayed in a pilgrim room, all was well. I love to stay there and will use it again next year.

    Must see or favorite sites

    I had a group over with me in September walking Sarria to Santiago and we had some extra time so spend a morning in Lugo which I highly recommend. The walls were amazing and you can walk as much or as little of them as you want. Also go and visit the cathedral in Lugo which is stunning.

    Donegal Camino

    The county of my childhood summers. That and the coast of antrim both very beautiful. Great walking and stunning scenery as well as gorgeous beaches if you get the weather.

    Rest Days - Coastal - North of Porto

    Biona and then Ponevedra are both worth stopping in for very different reasons and the Cies Islands are a definite trip to make.

    Paris to Le Puy en Velay

    I did this route in stages for family reasons and loved it. Highly recommended. I have since returned and walked my favourite sections again.

    Enquiry about foot care, bunions, weather…..

    I still put vaseline on my feet and it continues to serve me well.

    How far do most typically walk before resting?

    I tend to stop every 1.5- 2 hours. Sometimes that may be for 15 mins ot sometimes at a cafe for a coffee which will be a longer stop. Sometimes you feel you don't need it but in my experience your body will perform much better for you as a result of stopping.

    Requesting your help on my research project - a digital community of walkers

    When did you join this forum (before, during or after your camino)? I joined after my first one but have done many other routes since and have repeated sections. Why do you think you were drawn to a digital community of pilgrims like this one? It's the feeling of sharing a bond, an interest...

    Scallop Shell

    A beautiful place to start your pilgrimage. Moissac itself is one of my favourite places and the walk along the canal du Midi the next day and up into Auvillar is really lovely. I waled the G65 from Le Puy en Velay, starting in 2008 and it ws my first part of the Camino Frances. I have such...
