    Challenge with accommodations

    Interesting thread, I walked Sep/oct 2018 and only booked Sjpdp and Orisson and just walked and stopped when needed. I walked last year and probably booked 80% but then found my Camino family and changed a few. This year I’m walking Sep/Oct and have booked 95% some through booking.com, some...

    Recommendations (Leon to Santiago) Frances - towns for rest days, and places with pilgrim services

    Ponferrada is a lovely town with the Castle and would give you time to explore Also I am planning two nights in Trabadelo at Casa Susie’s, a lovely village to relax and absorb your walk so far Buen Camino

    20% drop in pilgrim numbers at Roncesvalles

    Salomon trail runners for 800K

    I wore men's wide speedcross 4s on my first Camino, they lasted pretty well for 900ks and I'm tough on them. Only thing was the top inside heal must rub and wore through. I wore the speedcross 5 last Camino and again pleased with them. Wore in conjunction with toe socks liners and smart wool outers.

    Camino Frances in September

    I ended up purchasing a sleeping bag just over half way on the Frances around the beginning of October as my silk liner and blankets weren't warm enough by then. Nothing worse then being cold all night. Some albergues didn't have blankets so I put all clothes on to sleep in until I purchased...

    Sorry to sound negative in my post. I just find it incredible that myself, friend and daughter suffered badly with various aliments but are ever so keen to return. Hi Jim, exciting for you both. I'm sorry I made it sound somewhat negative. Believe me the joys absolutely outweigh any...
