    Today, while on holiday from Australia, we (partner and I)are in Pitlochry, a town in Central Scotland, in transit for a rest day. Strolling along the main street 2 hikers were in front of us, one with a Camino Francis cloth badge on his pack so I bailed him up with Buen Camino and after he...

    Planning a Camino for 2024 after having completed two in 2018 & 2022. Did not obtain Compostella's or Distance Certificates.

    A bit of a set back but all good now.

    Our second week saw Ngaire, my partner in crime, come to grief. She had developed blisters earlier and tried to manage them but they got to a point of no walking after just arriving in Najera. Medical treatment next morning and advised minimum of 2 days off. We knew that was optimistic. We were...

    LIVE from the Camino Finally on the way.

    But only a short way to Valcarlos to ease in for the first day. Very scenic and quiet route. The ups are up there and some of the downs to be respected but not as with Napoleon at a guess having not experienced it. A further bonus is lots of shade. Expecting a bit more of a challenge tomorrow to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD New entry conditions for France.

    Arriving in Paris on August 17 from Australia en route to SJPP so checked latest Covid entry conditions. As I understand it as of August 1 if vaccinated no documentation is required. Australia was listed as 'Orange Zone' so things now made much easier.

    A quieter Camino, Maybe?

    After our first and 'test run' Camino from Leon to SdC mid 2018 we decided before we finished that a full distance Frances was on the agenda. Initially planned for 2021 until we became aware of the holy year, have decided on Aug/Sept 2022. Is the year following a holy year back to normal or is...

    Horses into Galicia

    My wife and I are commencing C/F from Leon in June. There is a reference in the Brierley Guide between Herrerias and O'Cebreiro to hire horses from Al Paso stables for the climb up. Has anyone chosen to do this and/or is the option still available as sounds interesting for something a bit...
