    2nd Camino anxiety and fear I'll compare everything to the first time!

    Thanks everyone for your words of advice and encouragement! As it turned out, i overreacted and everything was more than fine haha! Had a tough wet windy day but met lovely people and looking forward to a good night's sleep in Roncevalles! Happy days!

    2nd Camino anxiety and fear I'll compare everything to the first time!

    Hey everyone. Just at the airport in Dublin now en route to SJPdP. Couldn't sleep a wink last night because I was excited but also worried at the same time. I did the CF in 2015 and can safely say it was hands down the best 5 weeks of my life. Started solo but finished with a group of around 8...

    Wearing a Kilt on the Camino

    OMG! YES! Wear a kilt! I'd totally high-5 that! Do wear underwear though, sometimes that gust of wind can come out of nowhere

    Glass in my foot - advice please

    If pulling it out was unsuccessful, then seriously, let it be. The skin will reject it. 10 days is plenty of time, don't worry and don't aggravate the wound. If the wound is now open, steralise it. Keep your weight off it. It means you won't be able to train in the meantime but you'll be...

    Suggestion for 6 day walk

    I can't speak for the Camino Ingles as I've never done it, but my favourite part of the Camino Frances was the first week. From St. Jean, you will arrive in Pampalona within 3 days, so as others have said, you can walk on for a few days and get a bus back to Pampalona. If receiving the...

    Support for perigrinos in the North East of England

    It was somewhere between late June and early August I think. Probably the peak time but never had any problems with accommodation etc. When are you thinking of starting?

    I think I’m ready, but I have a couple of questions...

    Wishing you the best on your Camino; you'll have a blast! 1) St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles from my experience was the hardest stage technically BUT i was so excited and getting energy from everyone I met on the way, that it was actually a breeze. It's the only time you'll have to walk...

    Support for perigrinos in the North East of England

    Unfortunately I'm not in the NE of England; I'm Irish. I did the Camino Frances in 2015 from St Jean to Finisterre and am departing on my second Camino Frances on Thursday to Santiago and then continue on to do the Camino Portuguese (Hopefully/if financially viable!). Although relatively...

    Should Rock Stacking be Banned?

    This thread is really interesting. I don't think I would have thought twice about it. I remember seeing a few on the CF in 2015 and found them amusing. Wasn't compelled to build one or to destroy one, just curious. Maybe they are more prevalent now. It's interesting reading both sides of the...

    Almost on the Way

    Yeah, we definitely won't be alone Val. I'm packed up now, just weighed it though. 10kg ... ouch. Gonna have to shed a kg or 2 because that doesn't include water/food ...

    Haha Valerie. Well if you spot me Tuesday say hi (I'll be the one in bright yellow Asics, which are hard to miss!)

    Almost on the Way

    Hi Valerie, I'm heading off solo on Tuesday also. Flying from Dublin to Biarritz Tuesday Morning. I see there's a train going from there to SJPP via Bayonne, but I'm sure there are buses also. I wouldn't worry about travelling alone; from what I gather you will make many friends along the way...
