    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Thought I'd bump this as I'm preparing to head back to finish this, after 4 years! (Details earlier in post) All starts Monday week (20th aug, Navia) Curious to know what the crowds are like on the Galacian leg and I have a suspicion that this will be the busiest that I have seen it. Been...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Well folks, I knocked another chunk off! This was June 2017, I walked from Gijon to Navia, where I ended and bused back to Aviles for the solstice weekend. Great weather and some really cool costal spots (Cudillero, San Estiban and it's coastal track and beaches, hills and Forrest toward...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    @notion900 , lol that is so true! I have already caught myself looking at other Camino routes to do (currently favouring the Portuguese from Porto as i could do it in one go), even though im only 60% of the way through the Norte and still have at least another year to go until thats over! I...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Hi All, Just thought i would BUMP this as its 2yrs old but is worthy of an update as i have, slowly, been executing my plan as follows.... Year 1 (Sept 2015) Irun to Santander (2 weeks) This was my first ever Camino and all i can say is that, doing the Camino is one of the best experiences...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Holy BeJesus you weren't wrong! Temp went north of 35C and there was little relief from the sea breeze. I must have sunk 5+ litres of water yesterday, easily. Also took the GR branch along the coast which includes a rock scramble. Hard work but the reward was some amazing views down the harbour...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    I just thought i would bump this post as I have an update..... I have now decided to do this in 2 week chunks, instead of in single weeks. (dunno if i can update the subject) This is mainly so that i can get into the Camino experience by spending more time on it in each period. As a result of...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Plan is progressing..... I have secured my annual leave, just need to sort flights but the window that I'm working with is as follows; Week 1: Irun -> Bilbao (5th - 12th April 2015, 6-7 days walking) Week 2: Bilbao -> Santander (30th Aug - 6th Sept 2015, 5-6 days walking) So perhaps, after 3...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Unfortunately it will only be a week at a time but you do have a good point about how breaking it up means you can see it in different seasons. That didnt occur to me as i was looking at this in a practical context. In saying that, I must admit that im not overly keen on doing it in or near...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Cheers Stefania, Your info largely confirmed what i was thinking... I do imagine 'ending' the Camino 3-4 times might become a bit emotional and i am worried that you would start thinking about the exit after only (re)starting 4-5 days previous. With regard to the tech stuff, i guess its all...

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Although I am a native kiwi, I actually reside in the UK. So it is actually the opposite, in the sense that I'm able to fly to Bilbao/Biarritz for about £50! The convenience of this is a contributing factor for me to break it down into more 'work sympathetic' tranches.

    1st ever Camino, 4x1wk and how much tech?

    Hi all, I'm planning on doing the CdN, starting in April 2015. As I'm in employment i cannot manage to take anywhere enough time to contemplate doing it in a single campaign. My initial target is to start around Easter, i.e. starting the week before or the weekend of. (thoughts, if any?) My...
