    Lunch on the road ideas

    Very interested in the thoughts of those who've walked the Le Puy route, on how they managed their on the road food, throughout the day. My understanding is that the GR65 is quite different from the "Camino Frances", where bocadillos and tortillas abound (not to mention café con lechie), and...

    Lyon - Le Puy via Firminy (Rail Option)

    I've notice in a couple of threads that those travelling by train from Lyon to Le Puy, have mentioned they travelled LYON (PART DIEU) - SAINT ETIENNE - LE PUY. However, there is also a train via LYON (PART DIEU) - FIRMINY - LE PUY , which has more suitable departure times (and is a slightly...

    Well done to all our Kiwi rugby supporters. Very tense & exciting final, the French certainly came to play. All Blacks were by far the best team in the tournament and deserved winners. Congratulations. Col ps. Hope you didn't party to hard last night

    Alternative Options

    Didn't want to impose a specific train of thought in the existing If I had to do it over again.. Thread, so thought I'd ask some specifics in a new subject. Anne said... Are there some good alternative options that might be valid for a "firstimer" to consider? And what is the "high road...

    Descent through the woods to Roncesvalles

    Hi, I read in the various guides that the descent through the woods to Roncesvalles is a bit on the steep side. Given reasonable conditions, just how steep is it? Is it only for the mountaneers & military types, or is it OK for average first time walker with trekking poles? Col

    Simple Spanish Translation

    Don't mean to turn this into an "online translation service", but was wondering if someone might help me with a generic translation for "I'd like", which would be OK to use across the various regions of the Camino Frances. For example: I'd like two coffees with milk please. Some online...

    Long Dry Stages?

    Hi! I've read some of the posts on "Bottles v Hydration Packs", much of which appears to comes down to personal preference. I was wondering if some of the "old hands", have found any stages where 2 x 600 ml bottles would not be adequate in May/June? Col

    Hola! Br. David's comment in the "Maps & Guides" thread, about off route or split choice "special places", makes me wonder, which ones others found the most interesting to take. Is there a thread elsewhere that looks at this for the Camino Frances? (Couldn't find with search) What have...

    Locating Albergues

    Hi! I believe that the "way marking" is good on the Camino Frances route, but how difficult is it to locate Albergues along the way. Do "first timers" (with only basic travel Spanish) need to print out google maps etc. to find them in towns & cities. Colin
