    LIVE from the Camino Starting the Via Francigena in Geneva (by bicycle)

    So, I got my flight ticket to Geneva and arrive there in less than a week, to cycle to Rome. In Geneva, I booked a stay at the Petershöfli – Home St. Pierre - which I highly recommend as I stayed there before! It is just opposite St Pierre Cathedral. Cour St. Pierre 4 CH-1204 Genève / Suisse...

    Please talk me off the ledge

    Hey, stranger! What a wonderful transformation! Good to hear that you started to enjoy yourself. Obviously there lies more strength and resilience in you than you thought! Here is perhaps useful advice about understanding anything written in a foreign language: Google Translate has a function...

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    Hi Vetzrah I hope you feel better! It was a good first step for you to rant, do it as much as you need! Nobody is judging you and there is no need to be excessively hard on yourself. Yes, some tenacity is needed in life, but the Camino doesn't expect you to hurt yourself! Understand yourself...

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

    Hi Katey Jay Good Luck with your project! 1. In 2011 when I planned my first Camino, and didn't exactly know where to go. 2. Access to a wealth of experience and being able to have specific questions answered. 3. Since 2011 but I haven't posted much. The forum has helped me to make decisions...

    First Camino looking for some help on a starting point

    Hi Darragh! Welcome to the forum and the Camino! I still remember when I first discovered this very special way of spending a holiday or taking some time out and since have walked many different sections of the Way of St James through Germany, Poland, France and Spain. I totally agree with you...

    Cycling the camino from Mid August - But where? Via de la Plata, Ruta de Lana, Camino Olvidado? (Edit: The winner is Via Francigena)

    Thank you, @Corned Beef @It56ny @Skinnybiker for your thoughtful replies. You found just the right words to help me make a better decision. The VDLP can wait for another time... And the winner is: Via Francigena I will either start in Geneva or Lausanne, depending a bit on available...

    E bike Battery charging on the Plata

    E-biking the Via de la Plata sounds divine! Since I found this thread earlier today, I am totally infatuated with the idea, and I am ready to change my August travel plans. It's amazing how this forum manages to do that sometimes. Crossing Spain from south to north in two weeks, and seeing some...

    Cycling the camino from Mid August - But where? Via de la Plata, Ruta de Lana, Camino Olvidado? (Edit: The winner is Via Francigena)

    Dear fellow peregrinas and pereginos! I just decided today, it is time to go for another camino in Spain. Maybe I am just crazy and probably I need to hear common sense, but I am almost ready to book an e-bike in Sevilla (or Cadiz) around the 15th of August to cycle to SDC. I got almost four...

    Arriving 10pm in Santander. Where to stay? >> Labaniego, Vadiniense, San Salvador

    Thank you so much Laurie! So much good information! I like the look of 'Gronze' and I will now go and devour your blog, looks very interesting! I see it took you a bit over 30 days to get to Santiago - possibly I should be able to do that too! 12-15? nah, you must have misread!;)

    Good gite in Le Puy

    https://accueilsaintfrancoislepuy.jimdo.com/le-gîte/le-gîte-d-étape/ Hi Ozzie, I stayed there twice, once when I started out the Le-Puy-way in a cold February, and once when I arrived in Le Puy from Geneva in October. It is a lovely gite in the centre of the old town very close to the...

    Arriving 10pm in Santander. Where to stay? >> Labaniego, Vadiniense, San Salvador

    Hello all, this year, since I have brushed up on my Spanish, I decided to do my very first camino in Spain. I have planned to travel with Ryanair on a mid August Sunday from London to Santander, but the plane arrives late at 21:45. I wonder where to spend the first night. Is too late to turn up...

    Via Gebennensis Geneva to Le Puy in October

    Hi Ernesto, many thanks for your detailed reply! I friend of mine walked from Geneva last year, but much earlier in the year, and she didn't report any problems. I know that this camino is not very much visited, but that I find is rather an advantage. I shall phone up some of the gites...

    Via Gebennensis Geneva to Le Puy in October

    Hello all, I feel like walking and got a few weeks of holiday. October does not seem to be the best time to start, but I wonder if anyone her has information regarding open auberges/hostels on the Geneva way, from now until the end of October. Thanks and greetings, Steffan

    Geneva towards Le-Puy

    Hello, I just rather spontaneously booked a train ticket from Wuppertal (Germany), where I will be visiting family, to Geneva, hoping to walk towards Le-Puy. I will arrive in Geneva on Wednesday morning the 29th of August, which probably means that i will stay in Geneva until Thursday morning...
