    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    I agree - we left SJPP in our shorts - beautiful April day - by the time I got to roncesvalles, I was completely covered in snow. It was a very tricky hike straight up. Nancy 🇨🇦

    Luggage Transport - Why?

    In Spring of 2018 I was forced to abort my Camino due to an injury. I returned (where I left off - Logrono) Fall of 2019. Had I not had this option, I would have not completed Camino Frances. It was affordable at 5€.

    Camino through the Pyrenees

    I walked from STPDP to Roncessvilles in a day and the weather did change (in April). It was shorts’ weather by mid day and white-out snow by the time I arrived (alone). Prepare for the worst and enjoy whatever Mother Nature offers! Buen Camino Btw - we know winter! ❄️ NancyLee Canada 🇨🇦

    Unbelievable run across Australia!

    As my father was president of our national cancer society when Terry Fox started his marathon in eastern Canada, I had the privilege of eating out with Terry and his manager, Doug. Even at the beginning, he showed signs he was struggling but persevered until his body said ‘no more’. He was my...

    Accomodation St. Jean Pied de Port

    Sitting in the train station in Bayonne, a kind fellow pilgrim introduced himself and asked where I plan to stay that night (in SJPP) in April of 2018. As I hadn’t made any arrangements, he made a call and I was welcomed there, enjoyed a lovely ‘launching’ communal dinner, evening and rest. We...

    Paris CdG to SJPP

    I flew to Orly from Canada, feeder flight to Biarritz, bus to Bayonne and train to St Jean. I actually arrived late in the day but slept well and made it to Roncesvalles the first day - through snow!! I hope it goes well - enjoy every minute. Buen Camino! Nancy from Canada 🇨🇦

    First timer

    To the Smallest Sparrow, fly to Birritz, bus to Barrone and train to SJPDP. I agree with your comments regarding the unexpected expenses being in Covid times however my first Camino was cut short after 7 days due to injury and travel back to Canada being forced into a wheelchair was devastating...

    What I Learned from Walking Alone

    I live alone and have travelled fairly often alone to winter getaways (from Canada) and to run half marathons. So the Camino was a ‘no brainer’ in terms of going alone. As several have alluded to in previous posts, you are really alone when you want to be. Your ‘Camino family’ appears. I did...

    Starting my camino frances on 28th of may!

    I, too ran out of water on way to roncesvalle. When I left SJPP it was hot and sunny, once on Pyrenees, freezing rain, then snow!⛄️ I ended up melting snow to drink. But those are the wonderful challenges of the Camino! I hope you can travel there safely and embrace all the amazing...

    When was your first Camino?

    Arn, I empathize- after 7 days on CF in March, 2018, I went home in a wheelchair! 🦽. But I happily returned in September, 2019 and carried on from where I left off (Logrono) and made it all the way to Santiago! Nancy from Canada 🇨🇦 🎒😀

    Newbie - setting off from Roncesvalles 2nd Sept

    I also walked a year ago and weather was lovely and number of pilgrims very high. I was #682 to get my Compostela in Santiago and also had to wait an extra day to get the train to Barcelona. Had hoped to spend the weekend there before flying home to Canada 🇨🇦. Everyone has their own time and...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Planning to walk the Camino Frances - advice for a novice during Covid

    I have read that it costs more with limited aubergues open. You are an adult so with your research, you will make the right decision for you and your Mom. Whatever you decide, Buen Camino!🎒

    Burgos

    Last September I completed my Camino Francés and have such fond memories of Burgos. My mates stayed in a tiny hotel suite while I chose the third floor of a church that was lovely (in the square). We were cold and we purchased tights for €6 euros so we could enjoy the bustle of the city at...

    The CELL PHONE Pilgrims!

    When walking Camino Francés last September, I would use my phone at cafes and auberges when free Wi-Fi was offered. This provided an opportunity to connect with my friends and family, particularly as I was traveling alone. One morning, I looked around at all of ‘us’ with noses to phones and...
