    Cluny to Le Puy - Pilgrims needed

    Day 2. Sore. Bootiful weather. NO FOOD SUPPLIES BETWEEN TRAMAYES AND OUROUX. So we purchased food at Carrefour . We also didn't see water fountains and the chemin bypasses Cenves. Luckily we were offered water by an ex pellerin. Tough day. Lots of uphills in exposed areas. Warm day so we drank...

    Is there a company that would drive my van from spot to spot for me?

    We had friends who wanted to have their car near them for part of the Camino St Jacques. He would hitch each night or second night back to the car. No issues. But then is and spoke French so no communication issues. If the dogs are walking I'm sure fellow travellers would look after them for a...

    70L pack overkill?

    I have the Farpoint as well. Good travel pack but the hip belt is not as good as the Osprey hiking packs. My wife and I have only walked in 3 week bursts and carried WAY to much (15kgs in my case) with an Osprey Aether. 10 kgs is a good start ...

    Camino Portugues Porto-Santiago....signage

    Walked it in October 2107. Not too badly signposted. Having Google maps really helped. Enjoy the way , getting lost was generally fun.

    Cluny to Le Puy May-June 2018

    Susie, I will be looking to walk this route in September 2018 , so will be following with interest. My wife and I walk for a variety of reasons , primarily for the fitness benefits but also love the Frnch countryside. We will be joined by others along the way who are less physically capable. If...

    Walking a Camino in bits and pieces

    We did the St Jacques in 2 years , Le Puy to Cahors and then Cahors to Roncesvalles. 20 days for each with 1 day rest. We were happy to stop at the end of both stages . Having just finished the Porto to Santiago , I think I personally like about 3 weeks walking. 12 days this time was a bit...

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    Day 3. Grumpy day generally as the aches kick in. This happens with whatever sport we happen to be engaged in. SO we decided to cut it short and the injured support person is to pick us up at Ponte. Nicely marked on the map. We are realising that Brierly on the coastal track is really a 2 star...

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    Ok. Day 2 completed. Coastal urban walking again till just south of Apulia. At the Ubitor campsite it started getting a little bit greener and less sand and Water views. Quite shady as well . Lunch at the small cafe near the petrol station East of the main route. Possibly the only thing open...

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    Well Day 1 completed. Caught the Metro to the Mercado stop and then started walking. Urban beach environment for much of it. Mostly wooden boardwalks to Vila Do Condo . Not quite woodland walking, more like the Northern Beaches of Sydney .. (with sardines and fishing nets. ) Quite nice watching...

    Bag transport and reservations...what?

    I had a wry smile at reading this thread . My wife and I walked the Camino St Jacques in 2012 from Le Puy to Cahors and then finished in 2014 from Cahors to Roncevalles. The reasoning being that IF we did the Spanish Way we would be happier starting from TOP of the Pyrenees rather than at St...
