    How busy is the CF, (May 2023)?

    They were still using this yesterday when i went thru larrasoana. Probably 40-50 Pilgrims on cardboard in a concrete outdoor gym, all old people, as they are the last to arrive. Its seeming like you need to arrive before 12 to get a bed. A lot of the people I've walked with are getting up 5am...

    Thanks for this, already looking at 30l backpacks and light weight boots. I looked at some trail runners but they are just not for me. Im definitely bringing sandals for most evenings, i remember the camino shuffle all too well, but need loafers for some non camino dining plans. For boots im...

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I've taken it to heart and will be getting proper gear, have a pack fitting scheduled for tomorrow at my local store. Not sure I'll go ultralight, but definitely not the 20kg i took last time. Happy new year!

    Thanks will check it out. I guess I'm technically still an American, at least according to the IRS, though its been decades since I've been back for more than a couple days. Also thanks because it gave me the idea to look for a nederland version, and sure enough there is one. Bedankt.

    Santiago to Barcelona

    I did this years ago after spending 2+ months walking from BCN to SdC and even at 13 hours the experience was both jarring and a highlight of my trip, if you arent in a rush and enjoy being on trains, highly recommend the train.

    Noticed in a bunch of threads you've mentioned that you wear lightweight leather boots and trousers. Do you mind sharing the brand names??

    It wasnt my first time either, though now im quite the fan of fine dining, figured I'd take an off day in each of the major cities and they almost all have a Michelin restaurant, it would seem a crime to not try them. thanks for that idea. I will give the restaurants a shout after the new year...

    Nah those boots finally gave up years ago even the steel toe box started separating from the boot. At home I wear dress boots, both for a long day on my feet and for fine dining, and they definitely wouldn't fit and are quite heavy. I dont think i have the confidence to wear crocs to a 2 star...

    Hello All, Ive decided to do the camino next year as its the 20 year anniversary of my first trip and Im a bit lost on what gear to use. I've not done much hiking in the last 15 years, more a cyclist these days, however I've walked the CF and Pacific Coastal Trail (Seattle to SF) when I was 20...
