    First Camino - Nervous and with questions about the start

    Sunrise and early can be mutually exclusive at certain times of the year. Also while sunrise is an objective measure, early is very subjective. Unless you enjoy it or it is going to be quite hot there is no real reason to in the dark.

    Topo Wearers!

    I wore the UV3 last September on the Camino. I loved them. Nice combination of Hoka cushioning and Alta toe box width. I found the UV 3 to be a bit soft and I would up with some callous on my heels, I would switch to the mtn. racer next time. As for grip...I felt like a goat coming down from...

By the time I got to Leon (mid Sept.) I...

    Joint Credencial?

    It is really simple, you just don't like the answer. Rule or custom, your point is that you are "lawyering" up, Use 2 credencials, after getting the Compostela just add the other name to one of them for framing. There is no "rule" about that.

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    We did not stay there. We stayed in a hotel in Roncesvalles. In talking to people we met at Orrisson, who did stay there the feelings were mixed. They liked it, but didn't get much sleep between the noise and people getting up to use the bathroom and lights coming on because they are on...

    August/September Start Advice
