    training

    Hi, I'm currently on the Camino Frances. I walked a couple of 5 km walks through the week, with a 20km walk on the weekends for about 3 months as my training. I am now almost 2 weeks into the walk (280 kms) and have only had 1 rest day! Going well. So it all depends on the person and the weight...

    I'll walk with you...

    My wife and I are currently on the Camino France's, staying in Atapuerca tonight, and Burgos tomorrow night. Our goal is The End of the World by late June. Feel free to approach us. Just look for the 2 Aussie flags and Camino arrows on our packs.

    Weather - Late May/June

    Sonia, I'm 8 days into the Camino from SJPdP and have already posted my thermals back to Australia. First 3 days were over 30 degrees celcius, and so far have had only 1 day below 20 degrees. Still bring rain gear And a jumper, but prepare for warmer days. Yesterday was 31 in Logrono. Cheers Chris

    Is the French Way paved?

    Hi Sofie, I'm on the Camino France's right now (8 days in) and the weather has been incredible. First 3 days were above 30 degrees celcius. Only 1 day below 20 degrees so far. With that in mind, I started this walk wearing Salomon boots. They did not breathe at all, and I found myself with...

    Hi all - New Pilgrim

    Hey TomUK, After doing plenty of research on here and google, I have found what appears to me to be the things that will get me from SJPDP to SDC. I've bought 2 Northface quick dry pants and 1 windproof jacket (Pants zip off at knees to become shorts), Salomon 'Speedcross 3 Ortholite' shoes, 3...

    Hi all - New Pilgrim

    Hey Tom, Lucky you're in the UK - you have access to cheap shoes. I'm in Australia and bought my Camino shoes (Salomon's) from Activinstinct.com for half the price they are here. It's my third pair of Salomon's - highly recommended. Socks wise, everyone recommends Bridgedales, and I have to say...

    Underwear for the Camino??

    The reason I asked about underwear, Dutch, is because I don't want to have to carry around wet underwear the next day because it didn't dry. I wanted information as to which brands are preferred, that dry overnight, so I don't have to pack extra clothes to cater for those which haven't dried in...

    Underwear for the Camino??

    All great advice. Appreciate the comments. Some very important factors to consider. So far I think the Exofficio sound like the better option. Backcountry.com seem to have some good specials on too at the moment. I've just been on their website, chatting to an agent, who has reduced the shipping...

    Underwear for the Camino??

    I've done a bit more research on the Exofficio brand. They are 94% Nylon and 6% Lycra???? Not wool??? Are you sure the Nylon doesn't make you sweat heaps???

    Underwear for the Camino??

    Hi everyone. Just doing a bit of research on the best underwear to take for the Frances Camino. Has anyone tried the wool ones? How were they? Comfortable? Quick drying??? Any suggestions on brands are appreciated, and where you got them from. Cheers.

    recent robbery on last phase of the camino?

    Hi J.Bann. Hope you are okay. Would like to hear more about the circumstances surrounding this terrible ordeal for you. Please be kind and share your story so that we future walkers can be more aware of the dangers involved.

    Hey Steve, We have decided to start around May 10, in order to give us a better chance at doing the Napoleon way. May see you if you are walking slowly :-)
