    How light was your backpack for Camino Frances (800 km)

    I'd say it is possible but not comfortable. On my Caminos my pack always ends up weighing 4 kg. The perfect pack weight for me. I've walked in May, July and October with the same pack weight.

    Availability of electrolytes in the stores?

    Since Aquarius has been brought up, I just thought I'd mention that on my Camino pilgrimages I've enjoyed Sugarfree Aquarius, found it in most supermercados :-)

    Please share your Forum Signature or favourite Pilgrim quote

    I've been Camino walking in 2009 (SJPP-Burgos), 2011 (Burgos-Santiago) and 2012 (Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia-Finisterre). This forum has been one of my favourite dwelling places online while planning for my pilgrim walks. I am often so inspired by other members signature quotes and other...

    Class of 2011

    So nice to "check in" here again! I had a wonderful time walking SJPP-Burgos in July 2009 and was well prepared very much thanks to this forum and all of the knowledgable Veteran Posters. I learned how to treat my feet and how to schedule my day before I had started. Every morning I treated my...

    Favourite albergues and stops between Burgos-Santiago

    In July 2009 I walked SJPP-Burgos, a wonderful, lifechanging experience. This summer I am going back, hopefully to finish my Camino. I will start where I stopped in 2009, in Burgos, I have 18 days to walk so I'll just get going and see if I have enough time to reach Santiago. Before my walk in...

    Camino Frances, SJPP - Burgos, July 2009, blog

    :lol: Thanks Kelly! Yes, that does help, tried to google him, lots of hits but no email address. I had the Brierly guide (which by the way didn't mention the church albergue!)

    Camino Frances, SJPP - Burgos, July 2009, blog

    Hi Kelly! In Logrono we were in a room right next to the entrance, there were 10-12 beds in the room. I looked around upstairs and didn't see anymore beds so maybe that was it! :shock: I went "Godfather" in Granon, we knew beforehand that it was very basic but the experience of that place...

    Camino Frances, SJPP - Burgos, July 2009, blog

    Hola Everybody! I'm back from a fantastic Camino, everything I had hoped for and more! Thank you all for advice before my camino. Most of all it was great to have read so many blogs about other pilgrims personal experiences along the way. I was going to write my blog in Swedish but as I was...

If you want to follow me on my caminostage (walking SJPP-Burgos this year) you are welcome to add me on Facebook, my full name is Hali Liddell. I do have a blog but it is in Swedish...

    Best stops, favourite albergues between SJPP - Burgos?

    Thank you Liz, for sharing your experiences and favourite stops, and also for letting me know about private albergues being booked up, I didn't know that was possible. Good to know, not that we will want to book ahead but we will be prepared that this might make it harder to find a bed in the...

    Voltaren/Diclofenak warning!!!!

    Voltaren or Diclofenak is a very popular anti-inflammatory product used as a painkiller either as tablets or gel and is often recommended on this site. I would recommend it myself as it has helped me many times with sports injuries. After a terrible experience lately I feel that a warning is...

    Best stops, favourite albergues between SJPP - Burgos?

    Thank you Kelly, it's good to know that Uterga has nice albergues, I've read Swedish blogs telling about the same problem you mention about the downside of Alto del Perdon. By the way, your pictures of the sleeping arrangements and comments on the state of the bathrooms are great, very important...

    Best stops, favourite albergues between SJPP - Burgos?

    Thank you Rolf for your very up-to-date recommendations, and thank you Anne and Nicole for describing your favourites! Ventosa keeps getting mentioned and now has a lot of names and short descriptions scribbled next to it in my guidebook.... I hadn't read anything special about Uterga before...

    Best stops, favourite albergues between SJPP - Burgos?

    Thank you Minkey for sharing your experiences, Cizur Menor will probably be a good stop for us as San Fermin will be going on in Pamplona when we pass through.... Great to hear from someone who has stayed in both of Cizur Menors albergues. I've seen pictures of the one run by the Order of Malta...

    Anniesantiago, thank you for sharing your favourites and for your lovely descriptions of your experiences! I have just started looking at your blog and am thrilled by all of the wonderful pictures, it's like being there already! :D

    Best stops, favourite albergues between SJPP - Burgos?

    Thank you William for this sound advice! The issue of not pushing yourself too hard is very important. I'm sure it can easily happen on a pilgrimage that you just get carried away, there is so much you want to see and do even if you have limited time. I've learned the hard way to take it easy, I...

    Bilbao - SJPP, is it possible to reach SJPP before 7.30 pm?

    Fantastic, you guys have made this so easy for us, now I can just relax and enjoy the Brierly guide knowing that our trip is planned perfectly from door-to-door! :D

    Bilbao - SJPP, is it possible to reach SJPP before 7.30 pm?

    A huge THANK YOU to Sil and Philippe, now I have the entire trip planned! You're right, Philippe, going via Bayonne to avoid the crowds in Pamplona is probably the easiest way. You don't happen to know how long the train to SJPP takes? I've booked beds including dinner at l'Esprit du chemin and...
