    want solitude

    Hello @lmans At lot of the stuff you may read about doing a Camino is not to true for everyone. For example, I have never felt the need to join a Camino family. Sure I speak to people, but I don't attach myself to them either. The choice is entirely yours. As for Albergues, there are people...

    Language questions

    As a Scot, I ask for bastones baratos de caminar - Cheap hiking poles 😇

    Last min questions

    You will have a great time, honest! As above, I don’t have specific town clothes either. After my shower I put on my “tomorrow clothes”, which is what most (but not all) do. Have a great time 😁

    How to pay for bus within Santiago?

    Apart from the airport trip, I have never used the bus within Santiago, its a very walkable city

    Long sleeve sun safe top

    Great choice - I wear the male version and one can have sleeves up or sleeves down. I never wear short sleeves on a summer Camino in case I forget to apply sun tan lotion. I've seen too many "lobsters" walking!

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    It seems that we attract few "spring chickens"

    Hiking up O Cebreiro in the Rain

    I've done it in the rain too. I agree with the comments above. If you are steady on your feet you will be fine. BTW - Its a fantastic stop if you manage to get accommodation - Enjoy

    25 km per day?

    Also, depending on the Camino, it’s not always possible to do “short” stages. The stage distance “is what it is”. Personally 20-24kms suits me best but can do more if its necessary

    BBC "Pilgrimage" series 6 - North Wales Pilgrim Way

    I watched the first episode last night. It was interesting to see how any preconceptions about the "walk" quickly disappeared. Its great to see them opening up to each other and I liked hearing their opinions. Not unlike an albergue conversation........

    Pilgrim House Resources and Hours 2024

    See you all in September 👍

    backpacks in Monbus (Santiago to Sarria)

    When we have to put our rucksacks underneath I have a small chain and padlock that use to secure them to the luggage structure. Easy to put on, easy to remove. It's the same one I use for securing our footwear in albergues.

    Del Norte

    Well, for me the best bit was the first two weeks, but in my opinion, it was also the hardest section. After that, it was still hard, just not as hard. There are an awful lot of up and downs on the Norte. So, in a nutshell, if you want a less challenging section, it's not the first two weeks...

    Accommodations on the Norte

    We walked the Norte the same period last year and did not have a problem booking individual nights. The Norte can be busy with Spanish tourists, especially at the weekend when prices are raised.

    How long is the wait for a compostela document?

    Last September we got taken straight away. The key point is to preregister before arriving

    OK guys, what underwear?

    Underarmour - They hold you in place, don't chafe, don't ride up into your nether regions and they also dry very quickly

    BBC "Pilgrimage" series 6 - North Wales Pilgrim Way

    I only recognised one too, and I'm also a Brit. I watched the previous series too, and enjoyed them very much. Whether its a pilgrimage, spiritual trip or just a really good walk, its been designed for entertainment as well as possible enlightenment. Not to be confused with what the majority(?)...

    Sunglasses

    I was always leaving mine behind too, until I bought a lanyard for them.

    Where would you plan to spend an extra day?

    We tend to keep extra days to a minimum as its a bit of a pig to encourage our bodies to get moving again after they thought its was all over and done! I agree with the options given to you above though. Despite what I say, sometimes you just have to take advantage of a wonderful stop. At...
