    Starting in Sarria 20th Sept, 2022

    Please be on the lookout for two gypsy girls on the trail that are allegedly deaf and mute. They can hear and speak very well.

    Where does the camino start in Paris?

    I would start at the tower of Saint James

    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

    Only you can know the answer. It also depends on why you want to complete the Camino. I have learned that you get more out of it if you slow down.

    Which guide would you carry

    I have used Brierley's books for each Camino that I have walked. John and his wife start walking each year during April and update them when they return home.

    Which sleeping bag?

    I always walk the Camino during April and May and bought a light weight 3 pound bag. As long as you sleep indoors, that is all you need. Weight is everything on the Camino.

    Bigger size Shoe

    Your 16s are the correct size. Pilgrims make the mistake of wearing their normal size boots/shoes on the Camino, which causes a lot of foot problems. Your feet will expand as you walk the Camino day after day. Your regular shoe size may change after walking the Camino. Since I walk the...

    Help me pick my pack! :)

    If you are a first timer, go the YouTube and watch the Wonderlust Lawyer videos.

    Leave your walking poles at home....

    I have not had a problem with walking poles on any of my Caminos, not even with Ryan Air. I just stick them in my pack and check it in.

    Packing Toiletries for Lightweight Travel on the Camino de Santiago

    Pack as little as possible with one exception: One roll of toilet paper in a ZIP lock bag. You are backpacking not gooing to socials.

    Walking the Camino de Santiago and Planning for the Laugavegur Trail: What to Expect Physically

    I am 76 and planning to walk the Camino Frances during April and may. I have walked the full Camino several times. I have always completed it in 30 days. I am planning on shorter distances this time. I have attached my schedule to give you some idea as to what might be comfortable for you.

    New old guy

    As a 76 year old I have walked the Camino Frances several times. I have decided that rather than walking it in my usual 30 days I will relax when I walk it next spring. I am attaching my schedule for next spring. It is a very comfortable walk.

    Let's talk waist packs!

    I use a fanny pack every time I walk a Camino. I prefer an Ospry pack with two water battles (that is normally enough water each day). I carry it as a belly pack. It allows me quick access to the things I need such as money, national and camino passports, etc.

    An "unofficial" Pilgrim Passport?

    Generally they will not issue a compostela unless you have an approved Camino Passport.

    Hiking poles (please bear with me) need honest advice.

    I use hiking poles every time I walk a Camino. I find that those having trouble with them are using them wrong and waste even more energy. Two simple rules. on level ground and up hill hiking, the pole tips should never come forward of your heals. Going down hill use them for balance in...

    Called to the Camino

    For me, I had a calling, but once you have walked the Camino pilgrims also start experiencing what I call the "Camino Curse". You will start planning your next Camino in Spain. Those who have not experienced the Camino do not understand it, but those who have know what I am talking about. By...
