    LIVE from the Camino Bill Beaver: St. Jean to Fisterra, March 2012

    Hi all, I think this got deleted in a recent server crash, so I'm reposting now that all the entries are complete. It's not quite live, but I hope it will give folks some ideas as they prepare for their own Caminos. Hope you enjoy...

    Fishing?

    Hi all, I'm planning to spend a couple of days in Finisterre, and I was wondering if there is a place to borrow or rent a fishing rod. I think it would be lovely to pull up a sandy space and spend a day fishing if it's possible. Has anyone done this before? Thanks much!

    Inevitable for feet to stink, or a sign of bad shoes?

    Hi all, I've bought a pair of Merrells and tested them out in the desert. After just a day of wearing them, my feet smelled like death itself. Is this something I should just counter with foot powder, or is it a sign that I should invest in different waterproof shoes? Thanks much, Kyle

    Best way to get from Pamplona to SJPP in March?

    Hi everyone, I understand that the bus between Pamplona and SJPP is closed for the winter, so what would be the best way to make the trip at this time of year?

    Staying Balanced in Winter

    Hello, I'm looking to start walking on March 1 of 2012, and though there are lots of posts about the wonderful fruits available in the summertime, is there much produce to be found in winter and early spring, whether dried, preserved, etc? If so, where are good places to find it? If not, what...

    SJPP to Finisterre in March 2012

    Hello, By some miracle, I will actually have time and funds to walk El Camino Frances this coming March. I would love to make the full trip from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre, and I'm wondering, for anyone who has made that trip before, how much time should I give myself for the...
