    Bordeaux to SJDPP

    Hey all - I am hoping someone can advise us on the best -- fastest and least costly -- way to get from Bordeaux to SJDPP. We are flying into Bordeau, staying there one night, and hope to get to SJDPP as early as possible the next day. The train routes we have found on Eurorail and like sites...

    methylated spirits to toughen the feet

    Thank you! Borneos are high boots, then? Now I'm definitely leaning towards my boots now that I'm learning the lacing tricks (not to mention for ankle support and waterproofing value). I am going to look more into the weather and terrain from St. Jean, and choose my walking gear based on...

    methylated spirits to toughen the feet

    Martin -- Thank you. Your post was very informative. I actually never vary the lacing on my boots, so I especially appreciate that bit, and that also speaks to my inexperience, I guess. I am only doing seven days out of St. Jean, however far that gets me, and then doing seven days each...

    methylated spirits to toughen the feet

    feet and rain More on feet: I've heard good things about these, but have only used gifted ones for running, not for lengthy hikes just yet: http://www.wrightsock.com/ The wool-blends don't appear to be too great from the site information, but the advantage would be not worrying about...

    Hi Yuki - I just made reservations flying from NYC to Bordeaux and returning from Madrid to NYC for the same rates I was pulling up for round trips to/from London, Madrid, Pamplona, Paris, etc. It took a while to cobble together a route and find the right rate, but I think they're out there...

    Seven Days at a Time

    Kelly and other advisors -- You were right. I finally confirmed my reservations and will be flying into Bordeaux and out of Madrid. It looks like we can take a train directly from Bordeaux to St. Jean. Thank you for all of your help. Buen camino! Kodiak

    Madrid to SJPP

    Re: Madrid to St Jean TRAIN: Madrid to St Jean - http://www.renfe.es - Madrid to Hendaya - 10am - 16:56 36 euro then SNCF train to St Jean 3 ½ hours. http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ Does this mean it is possible to exclusively take trains from Madrid to St. Jean? Does this...

    Seven Days at a Time

    Thanks, everyone, for the wonderfully helpful advice. I had been pretty set on flying into Pamplona, but now am giving serious consideration to flying into Paris and taking the route to SJPP that Kelly and Jeff suggest. And I think you're right, Mark, why always wonder when I'm in no rush...

    Seven Days at a Time

    Hello all - I am walking seven days of the camino -- via el camino frances -- in september, and hope to do so every september that follows until completion. Because I must break the trip up so much, I want to start at the very beginning, but need to also consider how long it will take to get...
