    LIVE from the Camino Fed Up...

    Well, thank you everyone for your inspiring posts! :) Truly wonderful and supportive advice! I HAVE stayed with it - and glad I did... Now in Puenta la Reina at a great albergue ( Jakue ) with a couple of good companions and just had a great day over the Alto de Perdon and a beautiful, sunny...

    LIVE from the Camino Fed Up...

    Just had a day break in Pamplona and about to spend my second night before heading to Puenta la Reina/ Gares. Bored off my trolley, fed up and depressed. 18 months of prep and no idea why I'm here. Zubiri to Pamplona was fine but so far everything else has just been very unpleasant. Might check...

    Starting at SJPDP 4th of May flying into Biarritz on the 3rd of May 2016

    Hi, Alasdair - thanks for your reply! Looking forward to meeting you, too - I'm staying at Beilari Albergue, directly across from the Pilgrim Office. NB. I have to say it'll be a Franciscan and FORMER Benedictine - I'm a Pure Land Buddhist now! :-D

    Starting at SJPDP 4th of May flying into Biarritz on the 3rd of May 2016

    Ps. Alasdair, I see you're a lay Franciscan - I was once a postulant to the Society of Saint Francis ( ended up a Benedictine novice - long story! ).

    Pre Camino anxiety

    As someone wrote elsewhere on this forum, 'Don't start the Camino until you start the Camino'! :) I'm taking as my motto 'Solvitur Ambulando' - It is solved by walking. I leave St Jean on my first Camino on May, 4th: to all those I will meet - can't wait to meet you... see you there!

    Pre Camino anxiety

    I reckon to hit Pamplona on the 7th - heading out the following day so you'll be a couple of days ahead... I'm taking it easy but, yeah, we might well meet! :)

    Pre Camino anxiety

    I'm two weeks away, too - heading off on May 1st but won't leave St Jean til May 4th... Full of 'butterflies', too... :)

    San Sebastian

    Many thanks for the replies! I've now booked into a lovely looking hostel called 'A Room in the City' - just around the corner from the coach stop and £15 a night. Wifi and great reviews. Thanks again! :-)

    I will be commencing the Frances on May, 4th. En-route to SJPP, I shall be stopping overnight in San Sebastian on May, 2nd. Can anyone recommend good value accommodation - preferably near the coach stop? Cheers, Richard

    Trekking pole/s or traditional staff?

    Many thanks everyone - as always, fantastic advice and a few grins! :-D

    Trekking pole/s or traditional staff?

    Hi! I could use advice on walking poles - I know poles are the norm but the romantic in me yearns for a traditional, knarled, wooden staff. I have my eye on one on eBay made by a local craftsman - sturdy and strong... Of course, there is no shock absorption as with trekking poles but I...
