    Wheelies in the Dark - Part Two -Manciet- Spoilers, but Manciet is another one of those towns where you think you’ve arrived near on ten minutes before you actually arrive, but it gets a part for being absolutely hilarious. One of the first immediately visible structures is a large bulbous...

    Day 41 : Wheelies in the Dark -Puoy- I stayed far past check-out time, not that it was remotely enforced – no newcomers had arrived last night, and it had simply been too damn wet to contemplate outside-of-tent relocation, so I stayed put, listened to the rowdy breakfasts being prepared by the...

    Interlude Long time no see! Happy to report that I am, in fact, alive and kicking, and did not end up dying of dramatism, or pesto poisoning, or even just pure exhaustion. In hindsight, the “November by the latest” catchup is positively hilarious, but I do apologise for disappearing on you all...

    From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project

    Sacrifices must be made, I suppose !!!

    From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project

    Shhhh I've got no idea what you're talking about I'd never fall behind,,,,,,, But yeah, I'm interested too! I've got a guide for the Primitivo,,, but I do love me some water,,, but I do love some mountains! Too many routes and not enough time !! I'm not entirely sure what I'll do yet; but I was...

    From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project

    Not that I'm biased in any way, but I also cut across to Biarritz (technically Bayonne, but they're almost the same place anyway), and what I've seen so far easily rivals the Geneva to Le Puy section in terms of beauty and varying terrain and everything else! To be fair, I have been diverting...

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    Perfect !! Then in your scenario I'd say it's definitely possible :)) The only extra consideration I'd add (in terms of time it takes) is that both the Geneva to Le Puy section and the Le Puy to Saint-Jean section contain a lot more up and downs than the Frances, from what I've read off others...

    From my doorstep in Germany - a (very!) long term project

    Y'know, I'm actually rather regretting not walking from Germany when I had the chance - but I'm glad I get to live vicariously through you!! It's just about as good <33 I'll take note of the general sleeping spot availabilities though,,,, for unrelated reasons,,,, I'm sure I'll be back in...

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    Oooh I didn't even think of that - nice loophole !!! The only downside is you'd be in the UK; I thought the penance wasn't meant to start till you walk ??? ;]

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    Hey! I'm just going to insert myself here because it might be helpful, but I'm an Australian currently on my Geneva to Santiago trip - though I'm probably only going to be of use for the first half - and I wanted to add a second opinion; I think you probably could walk it in 90 (there's reasons...

    Okay so 'real people' might be a bit of a stretch, but they're based on a group of French musketeers (shocker) from the 'Black Musketeer' regiment way back when; only twist is there's actually four of them, so no idea what's happened to the poor sod who got cut, but I guess Dumes didn't have...

    'You Can't Leave the Harbour Till You Fix the Broken Anchor Winch', As the Fijian Philosophers Say - Part Two -Montréal-du-Gers- Underneath Montréal-du-Gers’ welcome sign, someone has scribbled ‘welcome to Canada!‘, which is stupid but prompts a tired snort regardless. The sign also features a...

    Day 40 : 'You Can't Leave the Harbour Till You Fix the Broken Anchor Winch', As the Fijian Philosophers Say -Condom- I was too excited to sleep last night – not entirely sure why. It’s something about actual beds; whenever I had them I wanted to spend as long as possible being on them, to the...

    Day 39 : Call Me Mr. Banagrams -Lectoure- My first fevered wakeup happens at 12.19am, where I find myself bolt upright, bleary and delirious, without a sleeping bag, disgusting and damp. I can’t get to Condom AND get food. To make it I’d leave too early, and get to the town with a shop in...

    LIVE from the Camino On My Way to the End of the World :]

    Thanks for the general patience, I have a feeling I'll be behind for awhile yet! But I've set aside a few rest days for me to catch up a little before I start the next leg - I arrived in Saint-Jean two days ago now!! So a day or so more of writing and posting, then it's off to the mountains :]...

    Firsts, Seconds and Bootcamps : Part Two -Castet-Arrouy- Now, you were going to stop here, but you reconsider once you arrive; it’s chockers, the single little courtyard absolutely brimming with people – Headband Lady, Yellow Backpack Lady, and both Black Backpack guys included. I move on...

    LIVE from the Camino On My Way to the End of the World :]

    Day 38 : Firsts, Seconds, and Bootcamps -Auvillar- I think of all the nights so far, yesterdays was most disorientating. My switch to the other side of the table had been great for my peace of mind, just not so great for my eyes, which were now absolutely blinded by the yellow streetlights. I’d...
