    Starting from Bayonne - getting a credential

    I’m excitedly counting down until my feet are on the Camino once again in mid-April and - for something different - I’m minded to walk from Bayonne to SJPP over three days before joining the Frances. I won’t necessarily follow a Camino path, just hoping to follow the river (and Google Maps) and...

    When I went virtually walking…

    Over lunch today in (still) locked down Melbourne Australia, I took myself on a wee virtual Camino walk, courtesy of the Google Maps street view. I followed the waymarks out of Logrono to the park and then picked up the street view just as the park gives way to the path up the hill approaching...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    My plans for a short Christmas camino are firming up pretty nicely, but I'm interested to hear the experiences of anyone who arrived in SDC on Christmas eve, or was there through Christmas eve and Christmas day. Were there any restaurants / bars open at all? Do I need to plan to visit a...

    Christmas Camino?

    Hola friends, I’ve walked the Frances five times, but my birthday is just before Christmas and the urge to give myself a Camino as a gift this year is getting pretty strong. Who out there has walked into SdC around Christmas, and what was it like? Exactly how cold was the last 100km? What if...

    Boots

    Oh, for goodness sake! I wrote a day or so back on another forum about how much I loved the feel (if not the colour) of the electric blue Salomon trail shoes I bought in an outdoor store right on the Camino as I entered Leon in 2015. How they wore straight in, no blisters or anything. And how...

    Camino dreaming

    I'm dreaming of the Camino... It's just after 11pm in Melbourne, Australia, where I live. I've walked the Camino three times now, and at this time every night, the flight I take on the first leg of the 24 hour journey to Paris takes off from our international airport. I live in exactly the...

    Bicycling to the coast

    Has anyone had experience of walking to Santiago and then hiring a bicycle for the Finisterre / Muxia loop at the end? I've walked the Frances three times (but never walked on to the coast, though I took the bus last year) and it just struck me that this might be a nice way to end my next...

    Experiences of November /December on the Frances

    Hi folks, Seeking feedback from those in the know... I have one of those pesky birthdays-with-the-round-ending coming up next year, and - having walked the Frances three times - I really like the idea of turning [cough]ty as I walk into Santiago. But my birthday falls a week before Christmas...

    Quick straw poll - light sleeping quilt or not? Leaving in three days

    This will be my third Camino, so I really should know the answer, but... I walked SJPP to Santiago this time last year with a lightweight down sleeping quilt and a silk liner. I'm starting again this Sunday (20/9/15), also from SJPDP and aiming for Muxia by around 30/10. My pack is...

    To SJPdP on 22 September, arriving Bayonne 3:30pm

    Is anyone interested in sharing a taxi from Bayonne to SJPdP on Monday 22 September? I've just booked my train ticket from Paris and could only get a service that arrives into Bayonne around 15:30 in the afternoon, too late to catch the local train and get to Beilari (formerly Esprit du Chemin)...

    Walking in late September 2014

    Hi folks, I walked the Camino Frances in April / May last year and am gearing up again for a start from SJPdP somewhere around 22 Sept 2014, give or take a day. While knowing that no two years are the same. I'd be really interested on peoples' experiences round this time of year: will I be...

    Anyone else starting mid April?

    Hi folks! I'm starting my walk in SJPdP around 16 April 2013, give or take a day for the connections from Melbourne Australia to Paris, Bayonne etc. I'm booked on a flight out of Madrid on 24 May, and fervently hoping almost six weeks will be enough... Anyone else out there planning to walk...
