    Camino Del Norte - April 2024

    No specific reason. Probably tired and wanting to make sure we made it to SDC.

    Camino Del Norte - April 2024

    Travelling from Bercianos to Santiago (via bus or train)

    I will be serving as a Hospitalero in Bercianos from June 1 to June 15 and then would like to spend a few days in Santiago before flying back home. What is the best bus or train route to go from Bercianos to Santiago? Any idea how long it takes? Times? Thanks, dan

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    As others have said it depends I. Walking speed and the amount of time you want to walk each day. I’d suggest you read other pilgrims blogs to see how others have done the walk. I did it in about 33 days, but I walked long days. Here’s my blog if you are interested...

    Is it okay to want to walk the Frances alone?

    I walked alone the entire Frances from SJPP to Finnesterre. It was great. No compromises. You do what you want to do. Somedays, I would walk further when I felt like I could.

    Packing List - What's missing?

    I used my small clothesline rope nearly every day. I would string it on the bunk bed above me every night to allow clothes to dry if not dry by the time the sun was going down. It also served as a nice barrier when beds were pushed next to each other and you had someone else just a pillow away.

    Del Norte guides

    I am planning to walk the Norte this fall. I have three guides: Cicerone, Village to Village, and Wise Pilgrim. For a small guide, the Village to Village guide is great; only 96 pages. The Wise Pilgrim guide is also relatively small at 179 pages. Cicerone is the largest 318 pages. I'm...

    Good cheap gloves for wet conditions?

    Last fall it was really rainy and cold. I ended up buying the largest size of dishwashing kitchen gloves, completely waterproof. They were great and cheap. If you have a thin glove liner, you can wear them underneath.

    Planning For September-October 2015

    Thomas, I just returned from my second Camino (October 2104) and did it also in September / October 2012. It is a great time to walk. Though you might enjoy reading my blogs to get a sense of travelling during this time frame. Dan www.danscaminotravels.wordpress.com

    Traveling on a plane with a backpack.

    In 2012 when I walked the Camino I carried on my Gregory 40L bag onto the plane in Chicago and again JFK with no problems. I had checked my poles, a Swiss Army knife and folding scissors. All worked fine and retrieved my checked bag in Paris. Upon the return, I checked my backpack in...

    30 L (28L Actually) Pack big enough -- Or 40 L better ---

    In 2012 I walked with the Greggory Z40. It was fine, but bigger than needed. I am walking this fall with an OMM 32 L and it is so much lighter.

    OMM Classic 32L Backpack

    Not sure yet what I will be carrying. Just less. Over the coming months I will begin putting together the packing list.

    OMM Classic 32L Backpack

    I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances again in October 2014. I walked in 2012 and can't wait to do it again. What would I do differently? The first thing is carry less. I am looking at new backpacks. I walked with a Gregory Z40 in 2012 and am looking at the OMM Classic 32L backpack. I want...
