    Should I risk not booking in SJPDP and go for the refuge instead?

    Not going on the CF until September, but flight is booked accommodation as far as Zubiri booked, but I haven't booked in SJPDP and my reason is this: I arrive on a Saturday at about 10:30am, I note from Gronze that the Ospitalia Municipal Refuge doesn't start taking pilgrims until 2pm. Am I...

    Baggage Transfer

    Good Morning Pilgrims wherever you are. My question revolves around baggage transfer along the CF. My plan is to leave in mid September 2024 (busy time I know), I will be travelling with an 83 year old lady, who I have to say is reasonable fit (but needs to go into training mode) On my last CF...

    LIVE from the Camino Vdlp

    For all those following me I have some tips for. I was lucky to meet Nalod from the forum in the Hotel Simon yesterday, he had just finished a short 5 day Camino and was kind enough to share information, as they say always listen to the experienced pilgrim. Firstly he showed me the first part...

    A Must Read

    While browsing through a bookshop yesterday in Singapore I came across a book by Alvin Mark Tan. Alvin walked the CF in 2012 and sketched his day to day experience from SJPdP to SDC. I have to say it’s probable the best book I’ve read about someone’s journey on the Camino, and the sketches are...

    Bum Bag cover

Now I'm getting pretty close to finishing the mods, the last one is to have attachments, so I can clip my bum bag to the backpack waist belt, when I have it around my waist I just...

Now I have been trying source a map for the VDLP so she can do the same, I've had no luck in my search. Does anyone know where I...

    Dog tags

    Having read in a previous thread about Dog Tags I thought to myself, what a good idea. Now I've never been the sort of guy that can wear anything around the neck (apart from the chain from my in house advisor). So on Friday I searched the net for an alternative, and low and behold came up with a...
