    Socks

    Yes. Well trimmed toenails are a must. Its those long downhills that will do it.

    Socks

    No matter how many times a question has been asked. There is always someone that needs to know that answer. Unfortunately I think socks are nearly as individual as shoes. It all depends on what your feet like. I did the Frances, wearing expensive dual layer socks. That were great. But I still...

    Is the Camino Primitivo more physically challenging than other routes?

    Absolutely fantastic photo`s. You seem to have gotten great weather. What time of year did you go?

    Silly Stuff that you have Worn on Camino - Pics

    Back in 2015. I had to wear my jacket backwards. As the wind was biting cold going over the Pyrenees. But my back was sweating. So I wore it back to front.

    We come from a land down under

    I say. What a strange coincidence. I moved to Qld from Sydney 35 years ago. We may have past each other in our journey`s.

    We come from a land down under

    Hi and welcome. Also from Australia. Gympie Just north of Brisbane. WOW! what a great adventure is ahead of you. I did my first Camino ( The CF) in 2015 at 52. And turned 60 last year and did the Portuguese ( from Porto) and the Ingles starting May 2nd this year. I must say you have given...

    Pilgrims from Australia and the wonderful New Zealand

    I did my 2nd and 3rd Camino in early May this year. Flights were quite good as I booked rather early. But just checking before I left, were surprisingly doubled. I am trying to consider walks closer to home. But one can do home as often as one can get away. I am looking into NZ for 2025. But...

    Pilgrims from Australia and the wonderful New Zealand

    I did that this year starting May 2nd. You`ll love it. Just watch when you get to Vila do Conde. Do hang a right over the bridge so as to get to the aquaduct. Otherwise its very easy (as I did) to follow the arrows which lead you back on the coastal route.

    For those who have walked the Camino 2 or more times

    Oh my. That does look like terrible math on my part. LOL. I plead fat finger syndrome. And not proof reading my post.

    For those who have walked the Camino 2 or more times

    WOW Seems like it would have been amazing to go in such times when its popularity wasnt as big. Although 12 years between caminos would definitely be different. Cheers

    For those who have walked the Camino 2 or more times

    Not sure when you walked your first CF. But I feel it would be the same as you described for me. 2015 was my first. And I have walk 2 more (Portuguese and Ingles) since then. Ive wanted to do the CF again for a little while now. But I too would feel that there may be differences in what I first...

    One stamp or two. Even if its not the minimum distance?

    I do see your point about them being busy. The day we arrived. The line ups were hundreds long. Cheers

    One stamp or two. Even if its not the minimum distance?

    OK. Now I know this topic may have come up many times. And I tried the search engine. But didnt come up with a definitive answer. So Im going to ask it anyway. Now I did the Camino Frances back it 2015. Doing the whole journey from SJPdP to SdC. Upon reaching O`Cebreio, conversation came up...

    Toothpaste and deodorant - where to buy cheaper?

    How many days are needed for the Camino Frances ?

    I took 35 days with 3 1/2 rest days on top of that. As C clearly said. Breileys book is just a guide. I stayed in many in-between section stops. And as has already been said. Start in Pamploma or Burgos. It will still be a great walk. And closer to your time frame.

    Small digital camera

    I still say the one thing that weighs it up for me is the fact that, unless you have an older compact that takes disposable batteries. You stuck with another device to leave charging somewhere.
