    Completing the French Way in 28 days

    28 days is no problem if you are reasonably fit. I did it in 2017 age 73. Started in SJPP, no rest days, but dropped to 2x20km days after Burgos due to heel blister. Cause was a kink in insole which I ignored until too late then had to go to chemist for treatment. One day walked 42km and no real...

    Anyone starting from SJPdP on May 24?

    Arlene Hello from Burlington. Walked 27k this morning on dead flat roads so not much value for the climb to Orrison and beyond!! Look forward to seeing you on the trail. Blue MEC rucksack and Can flag luggage tag accompanying old geezer heading to Santiago by Jun 25. Buen Camino George

    Hi Steph I will leave SJPP on morning of May 26 so may be within hearing distance of the fiddle after Pamplona. I will stop every hour and put my ear to the ground to detect foot tapping. Watch out for an ancient old geezer with a Canadian maple leaf tag on the bag. George

Next day, Napoleon...
