    Wondering when is the best time to do Frances

    I walked Saria to SdC in September and weather wise it was v hot. Lots of pilgrims along the way which did not bother us, we only purposefully stayed away from the large and noisy groups preferring silence. We pre-booked B&Bs and did not stay at albergues and had no issues there. I was unwell...

    My name is Lynn and I am new to this forum.

    Expect hot weather and the occasional showers. With climate change the temperature will only be going up and not down.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Simulation inside a plane with Covid

    Thanks for sharing @Jean Ti - If social distancing is the proven way to stop the virus spreading from person to person then why would anyone want to spend several hours sitting next to a fellow passenger in an enclosed space and breath the same air for the duration of the flight?

    Single Use Plastics

    The Camino frances is walked by pilgrims from all over the world. It is not the responsibility of the local authorities to ensure that people use bins. It is up to each and everyone one of us to clean up after ourselves and leave the places we visit as we found them, if not cleaner than before...
