Hi all pilgrims !
I am hooked ! I did the Camino Frances last year, and though I do not get as long time off work this year, I still would like to walk.
I have decided on the Camino Ingles, going with a friend this time.
I would like any good information you have about this camino...
Well, in Norway, september usually is not more than 10 degrees. The 40 degrees on the Meseta struck me like lightning ! :shock:
After four days in the purgatory, I desided to take the bus to Sahagun, skipping two days of walking. And pray for a miracle in the form of a cool...
Hi !
I am leaving for the Camino in two days. And I am terrified ! :shock:
The last weeks, my one foot - more specifically mye big toe - has caused me a lot of concern and problems. It some times hurt moving the foot, and the of course walking on it. I have seen doctor, physiotherapist...
Hi !
Does anyone have a link to a map that gives an overview over the whole Camino Frances ? Nice to have for the ones I leave behind when I am walking...... :)

Hola !
I have my backpack already packed, but in search of making it lighter, I wonder if a rain-poncho would be better than my very light rain-trouser and combined water-/windproof jacket. :roll:
Any good advice ? I would hate to be soaking in Galicia late september...
Thanks...
Hi !
Can anyone recommend a nice hostal or hotel in Logroño ? I will be starting el Camino from there in september, and I might get to Logroño 19.30 in the evening by train from Barcelona, and I don't know if it will be possible to stay at the albergue that first night.
Any suggestions ...
Hi !
I just have to share the good experiance I had with one of the things I brought for my first week on the camino in May this year.
I brought a thin woolen t-shirt to wear during the days. That was really smart. The shirt is very thin and soft, and perfect both in the hot mid-day and...
Hi all fellow pilgrims !
Planning is a lot of fun, but too much time before departure means too much thinking............... :?
I am just wondering if it is necessary to book a place to stay in Santiago in advance, or if it will be easy to find a place to stay when you get there. If my...
Hola !
I wonder if anyone could help me to find time-table for buses from Barcelona to Logroño, and please tell me how long this bus-trip takes ?
And, silly question, but what do pilgrims do when their pilgrim passport is full of stamps ? Just get another and continue to fill that up with...
Hola !
I just got back from my first week on the Camino, just a teaser for my five next week in September, going to Santiago.
The start was kind of hard until I said good-bye to my dear friends, finally realising that I had to walk in my own pace and tempo. Then I loved it. I think that is...
Hi !
I am just wondering what time albergues normally close in the evenings?
Hopefully, that's my last silly question..... next weekend I will start experiencing instead of asking about everything....I hope.
We have a Norwegian set of "rules" for winter-mountaineering. One of them says...
Hi !
First I would like to thank all the participants in this forum. The numerous messages and replays here have been of great help while planning my camino.
Still, to try to calm the butterflies, eagles and wild geese in my stomach, I have some questions. (Please forgive my rusty...
