    What time to depart SJPDP in order to reach Roncesvalles by 4pm

    Hi, A good rule of thumb I always use on hills, is to count the time it would take to walk the distance on flat and then add 30mins for every 300m climbed. Plus say 1 hour at Orisson. At my usual pace of 5km/h (3mph), 27km would take say 5.5 hours. A 1200m climb that would be an extra 2hours...

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    Hi Zordmot, Thanks for your advice. All depends on where you are staying. If you are camping then definitely a three season bag, but if you are staying in b&bs or hostels then they usually provide sheeting and quilts, and if not a light sleeping bag would do. Most places are heated. We rarely...

    Hello all, new user. Will start Camino Frances in May'23.

    Hi Bruno, I am also a first timer and starting in May from SJPDP. I too am quite nervous but have also been comforted by the people, advice and good willing comments on this forum. Can’t wait to get started and perhaps I might see you on The Way. Buen Camino Graham

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I was just wondering that last night. How do you get into a liner on a bunk bed without shaking the frame and bunk partner at that. What if I have to use the loo in the middle of the night?? More shaking and fumbling about!! A light sleeping bag seems to make more sense now. Thanks 👍🏼

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I had originally been advised that a liner would do the job but from reading your comments and advice I think I’ll bring along an ultra lightweight sleeping bag too. I’m not pre-booking any accommodation apart from the first night in SJPDP and I do enjoy...

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    Hi All, I’m Graham and I’m doing the Camino Frances from SJPDP starting second week of May 2023. (First timer) Just asking is a sleeping bag necessary, or would a liner be enough? I’m from N.Ireland so I’m used to a bit of cold weather. Any comments/advice would be most appreciated. G
