    Lost & Found Take care of your gear!

    I’ve got a habit that I’ve learnt from doing the Camino is that when ever I leave a place or a seat I alway look back and make sure I don’t leave nothing behind.

    Rethinking my CF-ish route after Burgos (and I start in 7 days!)

    Fully agree,why spend time catching transport when you can spend that time walking.

    It's unbelievably hot here!

    Over in Melbourne we have had a nice summer only a few days in forties, mostly mid twenties. Perfect just what I like.

    Looking for recommendations for pilgrim friendly accommodation in Barcelona.

    Hello Sydney Peregrinos. We always stay at Gaudi Hotel, last June they stored my hiking gear for seven weeks while we toured Spain and Portugal free of charge.

    Pilgrims from Australia and the wonderful New Zealand

    Hi from Melbourne, I’ve walked three Camino Frances and can’t wait till my next one in 2025. There’s nothing like it back home, no albergue’s every 5 km, no great cheap wine and when I’m over there I don’t have to keep swatting flies all day long.

    Final 40km?

    Hello SallGar. Back in 2018. My wife and I got as far as Castrojeriz before having to call it off due to requiring a Knee replacement. I completed the Frances this year but it’s always been on my mind to go back and complete it one day. Hopefully 2025 will be the year.

    Lessons Learned on the Camino - From Leon September 2023

    Hell Brendan. I completed the Camino back in mid May, pre booked all my accomodations. Confirming each Albergue the night before, the only problem I had was that the owners would get confused from Anthony being used for booking and Tony for confirming. WhatsApp and Google Translate...

    Surprising myself!

    Hi Paula. You ain’t the only one, I finished my third Camino Frances last June. On completion I told my wife that it was my last Camino, it didn’t take long two weeks later I started planning my next.

    Please cancel bookings that are not needed

    Hello Margogram. As I am getting older and slower I have pre booked most of my accommodations, rearranging my stages I’ve had to cancel some bookings making sure to cancel the booking before I rebooked else where. Some albergue’s are making you pay 50% upfront and the rest on the day, some...

    Challenge with accommodations

    A I was the same back six years ago on my first Camino I only had Orrison booked , I do have to admit that I was a lot younger and faster. Most days we were first at the municipal Albergue, these days I’m not as fast and have pre booked most of my accommodations.

    (Even) wider brimmed walking hat

    Hi anhaler. I use the same type of hat, mine is a Redrock hat, it has great ventilation through the top mesh.

    Challenge with accommodations

    I found the best way is to send the Albergue an email requesting a check in and check out dates and have used google translate to translate in Spanish. Make sure you give them you phone no as well.

    Calling Aussies!

    Hi Kiwi-Family. I bought a Salomon XA Pro GTX the stitching on the tongue wasn’t correct and kept rubbing on my foot. Wore them a few times and ended up taking them back to Kathmandu, where I bought from. I had no issue having them replaced for another pair, in my opinion I would have had...
