    Newbie introducing myself

    Hi Ddee, welcome and happy camino planning to you. I'm starting my second camino shortly - flying into Biarritz from Stansted on the 10th of April and making my way to St Jean pied de port the following day and then onwards and upwards. Might just see you along the way - Buen Camino :)

    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    I've seen 2 of the programs so far and I'm loving it - I'm not that bothered about what they skip or how much they carry.... Its given me loads of opportunities to chat with family, friends and gym buddies about how brilliant walking the camino for yourself is and I call that a big fat WIN and...

    Hi Terry, i'm also starting on the 11th April - can't wait - coming from Biarritz on the train to St Jean Pied de Port - pick up my pilgrim passport and hopefully on to Refuge Orisson - still awaiting a reply from Refuge Orisson where i'm hoping to stop of - i know it's not that far but thought...

    Showering and changing/washing clothes...how often?

    Please don't think it a silly question - it's tricky to know what to expect and how fantastic the alburgues are set up - I walked my first camino a couple of years ago with my 16 year old son and aimed to be super prepared. We took a hiking laundry bag which was totally unnecessary and ended up...

    Walking Camino Portuguese march/april 2018

    Thanks for all your advice - very helpful - I'll make myself a little "Abergue to stay in" list. Not worried about the distances as when we did the camino fraces we had limited time so it was pretty much 20 miles for 25 days and some days more. I'm planning on the coastal route as the idea of...

    Walking Camino Portuguese march/april 2018

    Hi fellow Pilgrims, wondering if anybody has walked the Camino Portuguese in March/April from Lisbon and what was your experience regarding weather and what to bring . Also was there any others walking. I've walked the camino frances in June/July and it was super warm and busy - just wondering...

Also - do you have walking poles - not necessary a yorkshire thing hehe but might...

    CF in 26 days?

    My son and I walked the camino in 25 (maybe 24 1/2 - it becomes less important ) days - we had 25 days - generally people thought we couldnt do it hehe- it was pretty much 20 miles every day - a couple of days a little less and some days because of alburguos more - our main problem was the...

    Camino Portugues In April

    Hi Jimmy, I like the idea of a number of folks being on the road - not booked any flight yet - also awaiting my book at the end of January ; last time my son and i were limited on time so we walked 20 + miles ish for 25 days solid on the Camino Frances - it was brilliant but also very full on...

    Camino Portugues In April

    Hi Laurie, I'm not totally set which way I will travel - I thought the costal part starts from Porto - is this wrong ? My book is on order and should come my way at the end of January :)

    Camino Portugues In April

    hi to pilgrims who walked the Camino Portuguese before :) I would love to walk the camino Portuguese in spring this year - first by myself and eventually some family members will join me. Looking at school holidays, April would be the ideal time but researching it - it seems that April might...

    Backpacks as carry-on

    Hi, I remember agonising over this - our packs were almost the right size but we didn't want to be caught out the last minute so my son and I had little rucksacks with minimum overnight stay stuff (in case there was a problem with our checked in rucksacks) -and we packed both our rucksacks into...

    LIVE from the Camino Caldas the Reis destroyed my camino (almost)

    Oh i think those last 100 km seemed to have been a challenge to many of us ! my 16 year old son and i walked them just before the 25 July this year and the increased amount of people, fresh with little day packs, rushing along and the increased risk of not getting somewhere to sleep took a...

This will be my first ever camino and will be walking it with my 16 year old son - it's his dream and I'm totally buying into it :) so very very excited now - will...

    Swimming the Camino

    Thanks for your list so far - we'll be walking 20 miles plus every day and to fit that in we'll be taking a siesta when it gets to warm to walk - bit of resting, sight seeing and thought it would be fun to splash about for a bit - not really lap swimmers ourselves - then walk on for a couple of...

    Day 1 St Jean to Roncesvalles

    :) might see you there on the 27th as we now have our beds confirmed - though I must say the temptation to walk the whole way and into the night was definitely there and I think we could have made it :) but with all that was said - I think it might have been a bit to much and not sure that we...
