    LIVE from the Camino New donativo in Pamplona is open: Betania

    I stayed here last year, first ever experience in a donation, what a first time! They were fantastic enough to allow me to stay a second night die to terribly blistered feet which allowed me to rest enough to continue my Camino to Burgos. Wonderful experience, thanks to pepper and Shokko who...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Pretty sure it's still there 👍🏼 whiskey is the best way to give you energy and keep you warm...... and it certainly improves your singing voice to keep the pace 🤣

    Lost & Found Lost watch after Zariquiegui

    Hi all, I am currently walking the Frances, I have lost my watch which must have caught on my backpack whilst hauling it on and off, the last place I had it was when I stopped in Zariquiegui if anyone happened to find it? It's just a black smart watch, with a picture of my dog on the screen 😁🐾 I...

    Dog from Hell ?

    I met this guy coming out of Espelette on the Baztan, he followed me over the hill to Ainhoa, sauntering ahead of me and stopping and waiting if I was out of sight! Planned to find a local when we arrived in the village to let them know and return him to Espelette but he disappeared as phantom...

    Lizard shoes

    My life would be much simpler and financially stable if I had that self control 🤣

    Lizard shoes

    They feel like Beaufort trainers but unexpectedly comfortable....early days though!

    Lizard shoes

    Bayonne to Burgos, leave on 1st September so another 2 weeks of different terrain in the wilds of Scotland should help me decide! 👍

    Lizard shoes

    Having been deep in the struggles of finding footwear that doesn't pinch, isn't too roomy, doesn't have random pieces of material which dogs into my foot etc I came across Lizard walking shoes and sandals. It's an Italian company and the model I purchased, Ibrido 2 appear to be a strong...

    Baztan advice

    Thanks for your detailed reply, I'm reading it with uncontained excitement at the thought of the adventure to come! Definitely had issues with wrong shoes! Am obsessing about it as previously the shoes I have worn have been very comfortable whilst walking at home where the temperature is much...

    Baztan advice

    That's great, the YouTube video I watched showed people getting lost, have downloaded maps on wikiloc with the hope that they are easy enough to use! Feel reassured 👍

    Baztan advice

    So excited, especially after watching YouTube videos, just hoping I can avoid getting too lost or I may actually live out the Goldilocks story!

    Baztan advice

    My worry about the altras is the amount my foot moves around, I have the boots but feel their isn't enough give in the length! The meindl are a bit hard, I also have some walking sandals as an option! I'm the Goldilocks of footwear 🥴

    Baztan advice

    My plan is Olague at the moment 👍 obviously things change though!

    Baztan advice

    That's great, my french/Spanish is deplorable and I have a strong Scottish accent so that will be an interesting experience haha at least I have time to prepare a script, thanks for all your advice 👍
  20. Leemac40

    Baztan advice

    Ah I see, should I phone ahead for each albergue? This is my first time walking without pre booking, getting braver with age! It's the Saturday I hope to arrive there so good to know about bar/restaurant but will bring supplies to be safe since there's a supermarket at the border.
