    Detour from Frances to VdlP?

    Thank you for the great information. I have some map-gazing to do...which is what I want to be doing much more than the work I'm supposed to be doing!

    Detour from Frances to VdlP?

    I meant to say Astorga, not Astoria... silly autocorrect.

    Detour from Frances to VdlP?

    Hi All, It's lovely to be poking around this forum again! Has anyone walked the Frances, detoured south from Astorga and hooked up with the VdlP route through Ourense to Santiago de Compostela? I walked the Frances from SJPdP in 2007, and am finally thinking its time to scratch the itch and take...

    LIVE from the Camino Hola from Cizur Menor!

    Im in Torres del Rio tonight and good God do I hurt. I think I did about 30K today, big mistake. But I arrived at Los arcor rather early so decided to go on to Somport, my guide said 6K. Well it was extrememly hot and with no shade, and I sure it was much more than 6K. Took nearly 2 hours, then...

    LIVE from the Camino Hola from Cizur Menor!

    Hi everyone! Arrived in Cizur today after spending an easy day in Pamplona. Doing well but taking it very easy as I´ve developed a swollen ankle and severe foot cramp. :roll: There are many pilgrims on the camino rifght now, but so far I have not had any problems finding accomodation...

    yes, I'd just have to figure in the cost of extra transportation! Point taken. :wink:

    Thank you all for your kind words (especially xm). Up until yesterday I had sleeping about 5 hours a night, finishing finals and working too much. After sleeping about 14 hours, the world is a better place! :D I still don't know why I have to do the camino exactly, but I do, and what is...

    Am I really that whacked out? Hmm, I guess my nerves are getting the best of me. :oops: It's funny, I've been walking quite a bit these last few weeks and never gotten a single blister, even in the mountains. But just today, I was feeling sortof "disconnected" and anxious, so I went out for a...

    Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but... I am leaving to walk the Camino Frances from St. Jean in one week. I still wish to walk that route if possible. But in light of recent information about the Frances allready being crowded, I think it might make some sense to consider...

    Checking in from Zubiri

    OK, I just read my post and realized that with one week left I am really starting to freak out. Sorry about that. Deep breaths....

    Checking in from Zubiri

    :shock: I thought there were not supposed to be so many people until Galicia this time of year! Why are there so many people and the refuges filling so early allready? This is really extremely distressing to me to hear. I leave in one week! Do I need to bring a sleeping pad? Tent? I can't afford...

    upon arriving in St. Jean...

    If I'm arriving in St jean around 7:30pm, should I make a reservation? Are the alberges likely to be full in mid-May? Lauren

    upon arriving in St. Jean...

    Really? Only 18 euro for a taxi from Bayonne and it only takes 15min? How much does the train cost? :o Is a taxi safe/OK for a non-french speaker? (Well, I know a little) I might be able to make it in time for dinner after all! Lauren

    Sorry, but...Where do women pee on the camino...?

    OK, this post is more the ladies.... :wink: seriously.... :shock: I've hesitated to write this, but after some trials "in the bush" I think I have to share... There is a product called the "magic cone." It's basically a thin, waxed cardboard ergonomically-shaped tube that comes collapses...

    Arrive SJPDP May 18! Yippee!

    xm, Gore-tex rain gear is hard to beat. It's great stuff. It often has a membrane inside that wicks consensation and keeps you more comfortable, too, since even goretex is not totally breathable. Sometimes it weighs a bit more, but the real high-end stuff can be great. The pants I got are...

    Arrive SJPDP May 18! Yippee!

    Bob, I am starting from St. Jean May 18. I'll actually arrive lateish MAy 16th and take a rest day before starting. I think so, anyway. Maybe we will overlap or be starting the same day? If so, it will be nice to recognise a face on the first day! Lauren P.S. Sierra Designs make very light...
