Hi think tank and experienced trekkers
I am looking into walking the blue trail in Hungary, some 1138 km or so. Looking for information on this trail is not like the abundant information for all things Camino, so I was wondering even though off topic if anyone has any experience walking this...
I have started to plan walking from Burgos to Sarria (yes on advice I have extended my Camino to include Burgos to Leon), and am a big fan of the Camino Ninja app. I am wondering if someone is managing and maintaining the app since the death of the wonderful man, Andy Jensen who invented it.
