    Who else is walking late June through July?

    My friend and I are doing the same! We'll see you in Orisson if not on the way before :) Buen Camino!

    Camino Franglés

    I've been following this thread with interest as I'm also considering this Camino Franglés :) as a possibility. Just curious, would it be possible to get a certificate of distance if one walked from SJPP to Sarria and then from Ferrol to Santiago?

    Are There Really That Many More Pilgrims?

    Top of new shoe rubbing ankle

    Thanks so much for all the advice, you guys are great! I'm going to try a few of the suggestions here as I'm not really in a position to get another pair at the moment. I'm using my old insoles and I know I need new ones so perhaps that will help. I like the idea of raising my foot slightly so...

    Top of new shoe rubbing ankle

    So my new Salomons arrived last week. I tried them on and they felt great. I was delighted, until I took them for a short walk no longer than 5 km. The top of the right shoe was rubbing just under my ankle bone. It didn't feel too bad so the next night I went again for another short walk. This...

    Buen Camino! I'm leaving from Pamplona on July 5th so might see you along the way. :)

    Is this a bad idea? (footwear)

    I never even considered getting them resoled! That could be an option. The shoes themselves are in good condition with just a little wearing on threads so I must take them in somewhere and ask. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Is this a bad idea? (footwear)

    Thanks, yeah I'll definitely take time to break them in. I had it so easy the last time, I think I just did a few short walks with the new shoes and then went on Camino with them. No issues at all except for one blister on day 2 which I fixed. For some reason I don't think it will be as easy...

    Is this a bad idea? (footwear)

    I've examined the shoes closely, now that I know what I should be looking for! Most of the thread is OK but my right is pretty worn on the ball of my foot so think it's better to be safe than sorry and get a new pair. At least I still have some time to look around and in the meantime I'll...

    Is this a bad idea? (footwear)

    Hi, I'm planning to do my second Camino in July. My last was in 2014. I was going to use the same shoes as they haven't been worn much since and they were fantastic last time. However while talking to friend I'm beginning to rethink this. The shoes are Salomon and seem to be good. I took them...

    Starting back at Pamplona.

    Thanks so much for all that information @whariwharangi! Now to just find the best option :)

    Starting back at Pamplona.

    Hi, I'm also hoping to start from Pamplona and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get there. Are there any other options flying from Ireland which get you into Pamplona earlier in the day? I was hoping to spend a little time there looking around on the day I arrive and then start walking...

    Class of 2016

    Hi all, I'm planning to walk the Camino from SJPP to Finisterre in July/August 2016. I previously walked to Santiago in 2014 with a friend and now I'm coming back to do it all over again on a solo trip. I'm trying not to be too complacent with my training as I keeping thinking 'oh it was fine...

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    I remember sitting outside a bar in Portomarin relaxing with a hard earned vino tinto, when a car pulled up outside. The driver ran from the car into the bar with 3 credencials, stamped them, rushed back to the car and sped off. I remember just being really amused by the whole thing. (Might...

    Was it one walk enough for you ? or The Camino turn up to be like a Health Drug

    I walked the CF in 2014 and knew as soon as I'd finished that I'd be back. So now I'm planning for next summer and hopefully make it as far as Finisterre this time. Really can't wait to do it all again!

    It doesn't seem real
