    Thoughts and Questions about Camino Le Puy

    Thank you everyone for your advice and suggestions, I really appreciate them all! I'm thinking that my comrades and I will begin walking from Le Puy the 2nd full week of May (so we can attempt to miss the bulk of the holidays you mentioned in the first week of the month). Glad to hear the route...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Thanks so much for all your replies, they're greatly appreciated. Glad to hear gap years are well received by those who take them, I know at this point I can't wait for mine so I can hardly imagine what it actually is like. Those packs look great, I'm starting to get a general idea for the cost...

    Considering the Paris and Tours Route

    My avatar actually is a picture of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, my home-state. I have some friends from the Pacific North West though. I'll definitely have to keep a look out for that book, I recently just started my first permanent part time job (all my previous jobs were seasonal) so once...

    Thoughts and Questions about Camino Le Puy

    Thank you all so much for the help, really appreciate it! I thought the trail was safe enough, encouraging to know I wasn't to off base. Although I hope I don't run into the ghost of Bete of the Gevaudan, doesn't sound like a pleasant character at all. I've decided that I'm going to be taking a...

    Thoughts and Questions about Camino Le Puy

    So as many of you have probably noticed, over the past couple of days I have been considering walking the Camino 'Tours' route or the Camino 'Le Puy' route in a couple of years. At this time I am heavily leaning towards the Camino ' Le Puy' because of time constraints, lack of a proper trail...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Thanks for the advice cherrys. Yeah I definitely don't plan of buying the equipment for some time now, but I want to get a general idea for how much money I'm going to need to attain for the equipment itself. I am hoping once I finally have a general plan finalized, I will be able to convince my...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Thank you everyone for your advice and suggestions! I have been talking with my comrades over here and we have decided that the first thing we need to decide is what routes we would like to take. Once we decide how we are going to walk to Santiago it seems that deciding when we walk, if we camp...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Thank you so much koilife, mspath, and Silverton, I really appreciate all the help! The thrift store idea sounds like a great one especially since I doubt I will have as much money as I would like too and neither will my 'comrades'. It definitely is interesting trying to plan a Camino trip with...

    Considering the Paris and Tours Route

    Thanks so much for your response pudgypilgrim, I really appreciate it. I have heard of the Schegen rules but it didn't click that I should look into those, so doubly thank you for bringing this up (thank you everyone for your responses, you are all so helpful and gracious to us newbies to "El...

    Considering the Paris and Tours Route

    Thanks so much for the reply Kanga. I was thinking just as much when it comes to the lack of pilgrims coming from Paris. It kind of intrigues me to be one of the few people to complete a pilgrimage from Paris to Santiago in modern times, but can see that the lack of other pilgrims could kind of...

    Considering the Paris and Tours Route

    So really quickly before I ask some questions. I already mention this in another thread but I'll quickly overview just to add some back story. I'm a highschool junior whom is looking to take a gap year in between my highschool graduation and entering college so that I can walk the " El Camino"...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Thanks so much for the help Mark Lee I really appreciate it! Makes sense that the backpack and footwear would be the most expensive items one would need to get, as they seem to be some of the most important in terms of comfort on the long journey. Talking with my friends they were thinking of...

    Equipment for the Trek

    Hey Guys, So before I ask my million and one questions about gear and such for hiking the Camino I want to take a minute to describe myself. Currently, I'm a highschool junior whose spent the past year like many of my 'kind' lol trying to think about what I would like to do once I graduate...
