    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    I live in a part of Australia called the Adelaide Hills, so I'll definitely be fit enough for the hilly sections, as I walk them most days. I like the idea of a grueling first few days, I feel like I should be made to earn it. I honestly can't wait. In 2019/20, I almost drove myself crazy with...

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    Even though it will only be the end of Day 1, I am planning on having a rest day so I can spend 2 nights enjoying the very things you mentioned. That walk from Irun to San Sebastian is the thing I just can't shake, I simply have to do it.

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    Thanks Jimmy. I won't be on a shoestring, but at the same time I can't be spending $100+ per night. But I am going ahead with it - I need to plan this far in advance to raise the funds, and to prep my wife & child for spending a month without me. Exciting times - best of luck with your plans, I...

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    I had my trip to the Norte cancelled in 2020, and am just beginning to plan again, hoping for May/June 2023. Flying from Australia is a very long way to travel, just to find I have nowhere to sleep each night. After reading some of these posts recently, I have been questioning whether I should...

    LIVE from the Camino Stopping my Camino and going home

    I was due to arrive in roughly 4 weeks, not happening no obviously. Finding a month to travel was hard, honestly don't know if/when i'll be able to find it again. Will look to next year, here's hoping. I'm devastated, but my family's health & safety are the only important things now.

    April Camino

    Great! My first also. I'll be arriving at the albergue in Irun on the 24th, technically I start walking on the 25th. I've been planning this for a long time, and it's getting close!

    April Camino

    Hi Annie, I am starting the Norte from Irun on April 24th. Hoping I get lucky with the weather, but i'm not afraid of some rain. I am currently doing some long weekend walks in preparation, as this is all I really have time to do, but I guess i'll be as ready as I can be. When are you planning...

    Ideal Time of Year for Camino de Norte

    I don't mind the thought of a day or 2 of rain (especially in this brutal Australian summer we're in right now), but I'm not keen on weeks worth

    Credential in Irun

    Hi All, I recently bought a Wise Pilgrim del Norte guidebook from this site, mainly to get the credential with it. I have the app on my phone, and plan to use that along the way, and will leave the book at home. However, I only received the book, not the credential, so I will need to pick one up...

    I'm starting 1-2 weeks after you, ended up booking my flights to get me to San Sebastian on a weekend where Real Sociedad have a home game. Now I just hope I can get a ticket!

    Beach Swimming on the Norte - Months?

    I'm also hoping to have a swim here and there along the Norte in April/May. San Sebastian in particular, so I guess i'll wait & see how cold the water is when I get there. If you have been a lifeguard on Sydney beaches, then i think you'll be fine. Some treacherous conditions along Sydney's...

    Hi! My flights are booked, I arrive in Paris on April 21, then will hit the trails a couple of days later from Irun. If I don't bump into you then best of luck! I hope you're better at keeping the excitement in check than I am, it is all I can think of!

    Camino del Norte from Australia

    HI @Monty52 I haven't been yet, but am well aware that it is addictive! I do struggle to keep things under wraps, and i'm spending far too much of my time reading and/or researching. Can't wait. I am thinking Paris would be my likely starting point, though I would love a small taste of...

    Ideal Time of Year for Camino de Norte

    I'm also looking to walk the Norte sometime in April - May 2020, would love to hear some feedback. I'm not fussed if it's a little cooler or wetter.

    Camino del Norte from Australia

    Hi Susan, i'm reading your blog now. Wow, that first day sounds really tough. Takes my mind back to walking the length of the Cinque Terre in Italy on a really steamy day. That was tough...
