    LIVE from the Camino VDLP update feb 2024

    Having done the camino Frances twice, am I right in saying that water fountains are just as present in the towns we walk through on the VDLP? I’m starting in Seville on approximately 24th March

    6 Month Training & Weight Loss Plan for an Overweight/Plus Size Pilgrim

    It's because I've been where you are. I've always been a walker, so that helps. you might not be able to manage that % incline at first, but definitely put at least 4% on the very next time you walk. there is simply no substitute for incline. weight usually drips off me if I do extended...

    6 Month Training & Weight Loss Plan for an Overweight/Plus Size Pilgrim

    I'm 6"3", 134kg (295lbs, seeing that you are american). Yes I have a fair bit of muscle mass, but still fat and unfit. I am now planning my 3rd camino. My input as a heavy person is to train on treadmill at 8-12% at about 5-5.5km per hour (3.1-3.5mph) and just build your fitness that way...

    Pamplona to SJPP 29 April 2022

    though someone posted on an older thread the possibility of taking a taxi from pamplona to st jean which would be doable, would be about a 105km round trip for the driver so unsure on cost. They posted this link, which still looks active. https://taxipamplona.com/en/

    Pamplona to SJPP 29 April 2022

    I've been following the alsa site for this route for the past 8 months. zero schedule at anytime for the route, so you would best be planning your alternate transport. I've travelled to SJPP from Pamplona previously with Alsa so was keen to do so again in April when I return. I've...

    Favorite albergue in the Camino Frances

    A vote from me for this place. The alberque grounds and rooms are great, and as for the same ownership hotel next door, very nicely set out and great people who speak English. Both have swimming pools too in regular season which are treats. This is almost exactly halfway between hontanes and...

    Walking 21 days from Pamplona to Santiago. Is it ok?

    regarding the bus, the best spotI can find for the bus is the approach into Leon, keep that in your mind if, for whatever reason, you need to 'make up time'

    Walking 21 days from Pamplona to Santiago. Is it ok?

    just remember to take time out and enjoy the experience 30-39km day after day after day, will take it's toll in some form. I'm doing Logrono to Santiago in 24. I learned from two previous failed attempts that trying to stick to extreme deadlines can be demotivating if you have any kind of...

    Importance of First Night's Stay

    For me, the accommodation is of little importance.. The Tables you sit at for the first 3-4 Pilgrim meals will have far greater influence on who your 'family' will be, Also, the people you cross paths multiple times each day also will. If you are crossing paths multiple times that means...

    Advice on getting to SJPP

    Do you have to fly in to Barcelona? Personally I'm flying in to Bordeaux. From there it's a 10Euro shuttle bus straight to Bordeaux St John train station and then it's an easy train and connection to SJPP. I actually land late at night in Paris CDG and staying in an airport hotel for 70Euro...
