Hi,
I completed Camino Frances in November last year. I have 10 days available in early May this year and want to walk some of the Northern Camino. I had thought about commencing in Santander. Any suggestions. Regards Greg
Hi Sam,
Fantastic information. I completed the Camino Frances in November this year. In May this year I have a 10 day window to walk parts of Camino del Norte. I arrive in Paris. Thought about commencing in Santander. What are your thoughts. Regards Greg
Hi,
I have recently completed the Camino from St Jean to Santiago. Looking at May 2015 to walk from Le Puy to Conques. Could you please send me the link to order the guide book you have mentioned. Thanks Greg
Great, I arrive in SJPP on the 29th, hope to see you on the way. So looking forward to this, mentally it will be difficult for me-normally I have everything pre planned. On this walk, I am not sure how far I can travel each day-then finding accommodation. Anyway I am after a challenge. Greg
Hi Grace,
Many thanks for your response. What size (litres) do you recommend with a back pack. I was hoping to get away with 40 litres. I am going to look at One Planet backpacks this week. Regards Greg
Yes, since that post, I have decided on walking the entire track from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago. Taking some time out, so busy buying back packs ect. Your comments are right, I can always pay for the transport of back pack myself. Regards Greg
Hi,
In your note these is mention of apps for Iphone, are there any you can recommend? Never thought of this before. Big day-purchased hiking poles, Gore-Tex rain coat. Still undecided about back pak. Kanga is from Sydney and she has been so helpful, I have spoken to her on the phone. Regards G
Thanks a million for coming back so quickly. This is also my 1st long walk and I am so out of my comfort zone, not concerned with the distance-just at my age, I have not done anything like this since the Seventies, ugly walking shoes & back pak . I am normally staying at Clubmeds or Sheratons...
Well some of your previous comments were a bit raw-however well meaning. The comments all hit home and I thought long and hard over the weekend, then made a decision at 2am today. Many thanks mate- appreciate the time you have taken to set me straight. Regards Greg
I have decided on the full Camino with carrying my own pack. Leaving around 28th September from St Jean Pied de Port. This will take 5-6 weeks. Weather wise, what will be the coldest I should prepare for- Back Pak 50 litres, is that to large?
