    Winter Camino Late Jan-mid March 2022

    I am also from Australia and did almost exactly what you are doing in 2018. I started Jan 19 and quickly hit complete whiteout as I approached Roncesvalles. It was a full on blizzard! I won't lie, there were moments I was quite scared. I was well prepared for bad weather but it was full on. Same...

    Bus Pamplona to St Jean

    This is excellent information. Thank you very much. It sounds pretty stab-in-the-dark. But possible.

    Bus Pamplona to St Jean

    I have tried here and it shows buses with ALSA which I have been told before. but every time I do a search on their website it says there's no buses on that day, no matter what date I put in. This is why I think it might not be pre-bookable?

    Bus Pamplona to St Jean

    Apologies if this has already been discussed but I couldn't find anything when I searched. I am looking for more information regarding the bus service from Pamplona to St Jean. Google brings up precious little about it and all the bus search engines bring up nothing when you enter these points...

    What was your meltdown point?

    I don't know if it was a meltdown but on my second Camino I got to this point in late January with a torrential blizzard blowing at 90 degrees straight into my face. I was trying to walk in four feet of fresh snow, was drenched through due to not having a poncho, was frozen to the core and...

    LIVE from the Camino An update

    And a hearty burn Camino to you. It sounds like you are ready this time. My first Camino was 2 years ago and I started 21st March. I had one really bad days weather but mostly it was perfect. I pray for the same for you.

    LIVE from the Camino An update

    I thought today would be a good day to update you on my winter Camino. This may be long so just for those interested in a pilgrim's journey. I arrived into SJPdP six weeks ago today. I left two days later. ( had to wait for the post office to open to forward some luggage. I haven't forgotten...

    LIVE from the Camino Bad weather update

    Just a quick follow up to the last thread I posted regarding horrendous conditions in and out of Roncesvalles. I am currently in pamplona and just spoke with another pilgrim. I pray to God he's wrong but he told me they closed the route between St Jean and Roncesvalles completely just after I...

    A timely warning

    Hello again. I said in my last post (you'll be pleased to know the Bot fly infestation is over) that I would post again from the Camino if I had anything to say and I think this might be a timely warning for anyone about to start walking soon. The way to and from Roncesvalles is feet deep in...

    An unusual medical ailment

    Hehe, well I am from Australia. If I was really tough I would have cooked them and ate them! Will probably post from time to time. I have got a lot from this forum and it would be good to give something back.

    An unusual medical ailment

    Thanks for all the medical advice but rest assured they are all gone now. And yes @Vacajoe I thought the same thing. Imagine if these were the bedbugs you got here. It would cure the overcrowding issue pretty quickly! :)

    An unusual medical ailment

    Actually I gave them to the doctors I saw in Paris. They were fascinated and thought it was "wonderful ". I kid you not. Felt like I was in an episode of House the way they all gathered around poking, prodding and videoing it all for training purposes!

    An unusual medical ailment

    Long time reader, second time poster. Thanks for all the hints and tips. So I've just arrived into SJPdP for my second Camino. But until a couple of days it was looking like not happening due to a very unusual ailment. I'm wondering if anyone has had something more unusual potentially sabotage...

    From tropical Australia to the Levante in February

    Hi Donna. Fellow Aussie here. I will be starting my Camino on 21st Jan but I'm doing the Frances. Who knows, maybe we'll cross paths in Astoria? I'll keep an eye out for you. Been Camino!

    Are there Camino routes with decent weather in the winter months?

    See you on the road then Tom. I'll be the one huffing and puffing at a snails pace. But loving every minute!

    Quickest rout from Melbourne to SJPdP

    I think this is actually the best option, which is very surprising as we all know that Cats supporters and common sense are usually mutually exclusive! Another alternative is to fly into Barcelona and catch a train (under 4 hours) to Pamplona. But as you only have such a short time to walk I...

    Winter route recommendations

    Hello all. I walked the CF last Mar/Apr but am now back in "civilisation". But the calling has got to me again and I have to go back. My plans at this point are to go to Japan in october to walk the 88 temples walk in Japan, then to Europe. I first planned to walk from Le Puy in January but...

    Camino Frances in March/April 2018

    I walked the Frances last year for almost the exact dates you are. I started in Ronscesvalles because I didn't want my walk to be over before I started (I'm not the fittest of specimens!). The first couple of weeks was grey and overcast with one day of constant rain that turned into snow. I...

    Ronscesvalles accommodation

    Thanks Margaret, very helpful. Yes, very excited. And a little scared, but I'm sure I'll be ok. :)
