I also use an iPhone (7) and the latest version of the SloWays doesn’t work for me. As soon as I try to download any map it crashes on me! Goes completely black. Have deleted the app and tried again several times, have restarted my phone, nothing works. A friend who also uses iPhone is having...
Thanks! I was able to enter the page and see the link 'files'... (like Michael, I was going to the wrong page before) BUT I still can't find any blog list under that "FILES' link... It seems they only have pdf files and other docs about general topics, not blogs... :( am I missing something?? Val

Hi everyone, I'm soon starting my walk on the Italian section of the VF, starting from Gd St Bernard Pass, and was looking for a list of blogs of people who have walked before me. I know this list exists somewhere but I can't find it again. Can anyone put me in the right direction? And/or...
Thank you so much mspath, Bradypus, and sirjohnharington for your replies and tips! Much appreciated. I'm not on facebook so will stick to this forum. I'll check BobM's blog too. I'm sorry I got carried away with so many questions at once! Regarding my itinerary, would you recommend Issogne or...
Hi all, I'm planning to walk the Italian part of the VF in stages, starting this August 2017 from the GSB Pass to Vercelli (197 km). I've just booked my tickets and I'm very excited (and a little scared too). I wonder if anyone could help me with these questions:
1. What's the best itinerary to...
Hi all, I'm also planning a Camino for 2017 - Via Francigena in Italy, starting from St Bernard Pass. I won't walk the whole way to Rome next year, maybe only 2-3 weeks, and finish it off in 2018. I'm going solo, and despite having done 3 Caminos before (Spain, Portugal, and France) I'm a...
Hi Kezzaann, good to know there'll be other aussies on the Le Puy route at around the same time! It'd be great to meet somewhere along the way :) This is my third camino, but the first one in France (did Spain and Portugal before). If you send me a private message, I can send you my blog address...
well, i know quite a few australians who have or are planning to walk this route! what i didn't know was that there were so many french people also doing it! :)
thanks ssay, have booked my first 3 nights: le puy (hotel-gite les capucins), montbonnet (gite l'escole), and monistrol (gite la tsabone). feel a little more relaxed now, from there onwards I'll try and book a day or two ahead… Thanks for the links about the assumption day in le puy! it seems...
Hello SSAY, thanks for your reply! We may meet on the trail, it depends how fast I walk and how slow you go... :) I do intend to keep a blog, so this would be a way for you to know whether or not you'll see me... If you send me your email or a private message I can send you my blog address...
Hi everyone, just wondering who else is doing Le Puy-SJPP mid August... I'll start walking from Le Puy on Tuesday 18th August. I'm from Australia (originally from Brazil) and speak English, Portuguese and some basic French. It'd be nice to meet other pilgrims along the way, English or French...
Hi Gary and Di, and Rellrog, I'm starting from Le Puy on August 18th (arrive in Le Puy the day before). Rellrog, i'd love to follow your blog too, if that's ok - I'll send you an email at rellrog@att.net when I finish this message. This is my third camino - I walked SJPP to Santiago in 2010 and...
Hi S Say, I'm starting the camino from Le Puy on August 18th - arrive in Le Puy on Monday 17th (from Australia). I speak English and Portuguese (as I'm originally from Brazil) and some basic French. You may catch up with me as I don't walk super fast :) I'll walk all the way to SJPP but no...
