    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    Tho’ it may soften the blow when you fall…until it doesn’t

    LIVE from the Camino Coastal route with 2 kids

    What a wonderful adventure for your family, an unforgettable journey and something you all will treasure forever. I’ve sent the link to my daughter to plant the seed. I hope it bears fruit! ¡Buen camino! 🤙🏽

    Meltdown in San Sebastián!

    Bad stuff often happens in threes… tooth, finger, smoking adaptor. Here’s 🙏🏽 you are good to go from here on out. Que le vaya muy bien en tu Camino 🤙🏽

    Leave only footprints

    Pack it in, pack it out. Simple really.

    Using AI to help you plan

    I just prefer using books and maps that I can flip thru and hold, and sure, the internet to an extant. Oh yeah, also people like those on this forum add greatly to my knowledge about my Camino, thank you very much, intricate. Generational gap? Meh…Unfamiliarity? My head isn’t buried in the sand…...

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if in my case it was a combination platter of my feet, the way I walk, the shoes, the lacing of the shoes, the tides, if the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter is aligned with Mars🤷🏽‍♂️. Vamos a ver…😃

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Ah ha! I take it you refer to the inside lining. If so, I had the same problem with a previous pair of Oboes and my last pair of Hoka road walkers. I did the same with the ol’ duct tape standby repair. And after watching a couple of YouTube vids and picking my friendly neighborhood REI shoe...

    Boots or Hokas for the Central Route

    Hmm. After going to my local REI and trying on Speedgoat 5s, Challengers ATR 7s and the Stinson ATR 6s, I got the Stinsons as the toe box felt a little roomier. So, Robo, do you recall where on the shoe they first began to fall apart? Thanks…🤙🏽

    Rethink HOW and WHEN you walk the Francés - strategies for walking during busy times

    November does indeed look like a great time to walk for all of the reasons you mention. Thank you for the vidéo. Buen Camino

    What’s the likelihood of flights from USA to Paris being cancelled in August due to French strikes?

    I agree with you 100%. I’ve flown Paris direct from Mexico City as well as LA, Dallas and the DC area, and I think your plan is spot on. If you have the time and “las ganas” to do the Paris route, why not? I would. I will. Then another time I may throw myself a curveball and try flying into...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    So, señoritas, señoras y señores “moderadores”, dontcha think it’s time to put this baby to rest? I’m a bit tuckered out from all the back and forth…😵‍💫

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Well said, Woody66. A very diplomatically delivered response that highlights what this forum is/should be all about - sharing a sense of community between folks who have walked, are currently walking or are, like me, planning a Camino. You (as in “ustedes”) who have so much experience in walking...

    Protecting skin from sun - June vs. October

    Whatever you do, wherever you go, don’t forget to apply whatever you use to your ears… frontside…backside…inside…outside, every side…😎

    In Paris, can’t find reasonable way to SJPDP - April 27030, 2023

    Or start a bit before at the Tour Saint-Jacques. It is all that remains to us of the Eglise Saint-Jacques-de-la-Boucherie which was destroyed in 1797. Pilgrims gathered here to begin their camino on the Via Toronensis or Tours route. Tho’ you can’t climb the tower (great views, btw) until tours...

    Shoe width and swelling?

    I am also going thru the shoe buying process and it has been time consuming, but as so many of the experienced forum participants emphasize, wearing the correct shoes for your feet is número uno. As for the Skechers, yep, they’re comfy, have a wide selection and look ok… but, nah, not Camino...

    What’s the likelihood of flights from USA to Paris being cancelled in August due to French strikes?

    Paris would be my default city simply cuz it’s Paris. Then, eventually, I’d make my way south. But that’s just me. Cada quien, ¿no?😀

    What’s the likelihood of flights from USA to Paris being cancelled in August due to French strikes?

    August may be a good time to go, actually. Strikers may want to target the last 3 weeks of September and the first 3 of October when the Rugby World Cup will be played in something like 9 French cities😬
