    Challenge ahead... Need encouragement

    Two things come to mind. If you broke your wrist why a long arm cast and not a short arm cast? That can make a hugh difference and what are your expectations? Last year I walked the French Way with 2 people who had suffered strokes that left them speech and mobility impaired. I walked with a...

    Footwear inquiry for the Pyrenees section

    I was with the first group to cross the Napoleon route the 15th of April of last year. Weather permitting it should be open at the end of April. When you get to Saint Jean I highly recommend that you buy the Michelin Camino de Santiago guide book. It has everything you need and nothing you...

    Starting from St. Jean on September 15

    I walked the French Way 14 April to 20 May and yes you are going to enjoy it. Just remember, it is mentally and physically demanding and they don't groom the trails there. Start training with your loaded pack on if you haven't already. Get up into the mountains around Show Low or Luna or...
