    St Bernard Pass end of June

    I’m planning to start walking from the St Bernard Pass at the end of June. I’m struggling to find information on what the weather may be like, so that I can pack appropriately. Does anyone have experience of walking there at the end of June? What amount of clothing/layers would you recommend...

    Transport to St Bernard Pass hospice

    Thank you! Have you ever done this trip - just wondering if the connections work ok? For instance, with the 11.0 train there’s only 7 minutes to get from platform 2 to platform 50 in Martigny

    Transport to St Bernard Pass hospice

    I'm planning to walk a week of the Via Francigena in late June/early July this year and would like to start from the St Bernard Pass hospice. What's the best way to get to the hospice? I'm flying from London and could fly into either Geneva or Aosta. Advice on buses/trains/taxis greatly appreciated!

    Comparing alpinista route with StJPdP-Ronscesvalles

    Thanks Laurie, that's very reassuring! And many thanks for recommending the GR 121 - I'd like to spend as much time near the coast as possible. Do you have other recommendations for avoiding asphalt? I'm only planning to walk for a week, so I won't get very far, but if you have any alternative...

    Comparing alpinista route with StJPdP-Ronscesvalles

    I'm thinking of starting the Camino del Norte next May (all things being well!) and would like to walk the alpinista route from Irun to Pasajes, because the views sound spectacular. However, I'm a bit nervous about how tough it might be. How does it compare with the route over the Pyrenees on...

    Blister under callous on heel - do I ditch my shoes??

    Thanks v much for this advice! I'm now home (I was only walking for 10 days in total; planning to come back next year for another 10 days) and left the blister intact - it is now slowly subsiding, and I'm using a donut made of moleskin to protect it. My concern is now about the future - can I...

However, by Day 6 on the Camino, I'd developed a blister on the inside of one heel (under the callous). The...

    Bus from Bilbao to Belorado via Haro - anyone done this?

    I need to get from Bilbao to Belorado, and one option is to go via Haro. However, the interchange at Haro is a bit tight - the bus from Bilbao arrives in Haro at 16.20 and departs for Belorado at 16.30. Has anyone done this? Will I need to change buses, and if so, is it easy/doable in only 10...
