An oversight here by me for sure. It's only just dawned on me that I'm flying from Ireland into France, duh. Any knowledge or info about French Covid stipulations?
Dear fellow life pilgrims and readers,
I intend to fly with Ryanair from Dublin to Biarritz on August 7th in roughly 3 weeks time.
When I arrive in Biarritz I will get a bus to the train station and then get a train to St. Jean.
I hope to begin walking the next day the 8th of August.
I...
Wonderful experience. Great weather, smashing locals, tremendous food, very interesting fellow pilgrims. An arduous beginning but worth every step of it. A joyous time. Do it.
I'm very excited. Such a long walk ahead but I'm completely fearless. Thanks for the interesting reading here. I fly into Malaga April 9th. All going well I'll be back in early June. I'm not great at keeping diaries but hopefully I'll get a chance along the way to log in here and let you know...
Wishing you a peaceful and safe Camino Alan with plenty of nice surprises along the way. I will be doing the very same route in Spring. Looking forward to reading more from you. Bien Camino.

Thanks for the distinction falcon. I'm just off the phone to a good friend of mine who is presently kicking back enjoying a drink with his fellow travellers in Itero de la Vega. He says the weather hasn't been great these recent days. I checked and told him it's going to pick up from tomorrow...
Thanks V I thought 25-30 was cheap that is why I was shocked. It's miscellaneous items that end up costing you the most on camino. Coffees, water croissants, Coca Colas, sun block, compede and vaseline and the likes of these things that blow the pot big time along the way. If you say their are...
Thanks oz great post there.
I will not be using a mountain stove so I can rule that out. I intend on doing it next May. Here's a couple of question for you. I do not speak a word of French will this be a problem from walking day one leaving Le Puy? (the kind of answer I'm really hoping for here...
