    Hi, I'm arriving at Biarritz Airport on 27th February 2017

    Hi Jo Nice to hear from you. Its been well over a year since my Camino, so I shall answer your questions as best I can... I did indeed complete my Camino. I actually started walking from St Jean Pied de Port on 1st March 2017. It took me 33 days to reach Santiago and a further 3 days to reach my...

    How many stamps are required to receive a certificate of completion Compostela?

    I'm guessing this question has been asked before but I cannot find the answer in the FAQ's etc.. My guide book suggests that a credential requires 2x stamps per day. Am I right in assuming this is only meant for those pilgrims who walk just the last 100 km and that folk (like myself) who intend...

    A free and a nearly free Kindle Adventure Read

    Hi Eve Many would have you believe that you won't find the time for reading on your Camino. However, I can't imagine a world where I don't daily have a book by my side. Due to weight constraints, I will only be taking one physical book with me - my John Brierley guide. In addition, I have a...

    Hi, I'm arriving at Biarritz Airport on 27th February 2017

    At long last (after retiring aged 60 last June) I have given myself the opportunity of starting out on my first Camino. I will be arriving at Biarritz Airport on 27th February 2017 and taking a local bus to Bayonne where I have accommodation booked for the evening. I intend to catch a train the...

    Checking pack into plane hold precautions

    Hi Annie It appears that you have already had some good suggestions - but I thought I would just add one of my own. I also have a 35 Litre Low Alpine rucksack (macho guy version!) and was concerned about the possible damage during transit. I have invested in a Vango Globe Travel Cover (available...

    Is anyone arriving in Biarritz on February 27th 2017?

    I will be staying at: 4, Impasse du Gayon, Maison La Gayonnette, Bayonne. It is the home of Socorro Aguirre who has been accommodating pilgrims for sometime apparently. I got her contact details from another pilgrim on this forum who stayed at this place recently. She spoke highly of the...

    2 days and already broken

    Hi Yorkshire Pilgrim Seems like you have the support of many fellow pilgrims. As others have mentioned, treat your injuries, rest up a while and gently ease yourself back into your Camino. It's early days yet - hopefully, good times lie ahead.... Keep your chin up and stay safe.

    Is anyone arriving in Biarritz on February 27th 2017?

    Hi Superleggera Many thanks for passing on that information my friend. Since my last communication with you, I have managed to secure a bed & breakfast deal (25 Euros) in Bayonne for the night of 27th February - will get there via the local bus from Biarritz Airport. I will take the morning...

    Is anyone arriving in Biarritz on February 27th 2017?

    Hi Superleggera Many thanks for your sensible advice! You make a valid point in suggesting that I may find inexpensive accommodation in Bayonne and briefly get to see what sounds like a very nice place. In addition, an overnight stay would give me the chance to catch the morning train to SJPP...

    Is anyone arriving in Biarritz on February 27th 2017?

    Hi Pilgrims! I’ll be walking the Camino Francés in March 2017. I have decided to do what will be my first Camino early in the season due to personal commitments and to avoid the busier months. Hopefully, I will acquire a good degree of solitude during my journey – but I’m also looking forward...
