    Advice needed on travel from Tomar to Porto

    We are flying into Lisbon, then taking a train to Tomar for a couple nights, which looks pretty easy. What is less clear is the best way from Tomar to Porto. Have you done this? What do you recommend? Thanks!

    Comparing Difficulty: Le Puy-Conques vs Lucca-Rome on the Via Francigena

    Hi Alwyn. Thanks for the details. I think the descent into Acebo was the hardest day for me. The dark crept in earlier than I expected - Yikes! So glad it's such a wonderful place. We found several sections of the VF quite challenging - I'm thinking of the walk to Gambassi Termi; to...

    Comparing Difficulty: Le Puy-Conques vs Lucca-Rome on the Via Francigena

    We plan to start from Le Puy around September 7. How would you compare this route to the VF or some of the hardest days on the Frances? Thank you.

    Trail runners (waterproof and regular) for the Le Puy in April/May?

    Thank you for sharing. I’m going to try the Goretex version of my Brookes trail runners. If such a thing works in Scotland, that’s a good recommendation.

    Trail runners (waterproof and regular) for the Le Puy in April/May?

    Thank you so much. We will be using luggage transport, carrying a day pack. Will try out a few lightweight hiking shoes if I can find wide widths. We could bring both types of footwear.

    I do wear inserts - love them. SofSoles. I will check out the Oofos clogs - sounds like a good idea for evenings.

    Trail runners (waterproof and regular) for the Le Puy in April/May?

    Thank you, Vagabonder. I wear SofSoles inserts - they add a lot more cushion. I have tried a number of flexible hiking shoes, including Merrells, but I haven't been able to find any wide width in stock anywhere. I appreciate the suggestion.

    Trail runners (waterproof and regular) for the Le Puy in April/May?

    Hello, Friends. We have worn Brooks Ghost trail runners on the Frances and the Francigena from Lucca-Rome, and they've been great. Now we're planning Le Puy - SJPP mid-April until the end of May 2023. Thoughts on footwear? We are not boot people. Thanks!

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    Everyone needs to decide what is so precious it will take up space and weight in the pack. For us, a hot beverage in the morning is essential to get both mind and body going, if you catch my drift, and both coffee and a bathroom can be hard to find in the early hours. We brought this system...
