Hi Guys
I've now booked my flight to Asturias airport for my Primitivo camino in September. I've never been to this airport before but I understand there is a direct bus from Asturias airport to Oviedo.
Any pointers to finding and using the bus would be most welcome
So, this is after Luarca and if you are using the Norte app you will see a red option between Otur and Bao showing how to short circuit the route around the hill.
Do NOT take the red option as the underpass is actually a storm drain and at the end of it is a bramble thicket. Tempting as it...
I arrived in Irún yesterday after walking in from San Sebastian airport (30mins) and then did the usual things.
Checked in to the Pensión, bought supplies for the following day, got a stamp at the tourist office, had peregrino menu (12€).
The biggest decision was to buy poles or not (no, I...
I'm just wondering how everyone keeps themselves off the couch, in between caminos?
My wife and I completed the CF in October 2021 and apart from a few aches we were pretty happy with it, so we decided that we will do the Camino del Norte in September 2022.
We have been walking around 12kms a...

I used this app very successfully on my recent Camino (Frances) and I want to contribute to it via Paypal but so far with no success through the app. (I only want to use the Paypal option)

Well, all done and just arrived in the UK.
I have a couple of pointers but first to say that we dropped in to the Pilgrim House and had a good chat and coffee with Nate, I thoroughly recommend a visit as its a very relaxing place
I also bumped into Annette London there too, great to put a face...
Hello guys
We are walking to Mansilla de las Mulas today and then in to León tomorrow.
My wife has a couple of blisters on her feet. They are controlled with Compeed, gauze and pressure pads but still hurt.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in either location to get them looked at?
Thanks
Hi guys
My wife and I have finally arrived in Spain after lots of planning and a cancelled flight.
We have previously walk from SJPP to Logroño and we now pick up again in Logroño. Let's see how far we get this time
We flew from Gatwick to Bilbao via Barcelona, arriving late last night...
Hi Guys
I don't arrive until September 7th but I'm doing my planning just now, spurred on by my direct flight being cancelled and the "option" offered flying from London Gatwick to Barcelona (2hr wait) and then on to Bilbao (Vueling). Bilbao was my destination anyway, so not too bad. It was...
This morning we had an early walk on our local hills (Malvern, England) and due to it being New Year’s Day it was very busy, and nice to see everyone out. But boy, was it busy!
Next time I’m on the CF and I think it’s busy I’ll think of today to put it in perspective.
Did anyone else have a...
Three weeks to go, and as seems the tradition of newbies I’m going to share my thoughts and experiences so far as I feel I have benefited from the posts of others before me.
My preparation started almost 12 months ago when I started buying books and reading the forums. My first revelation is...
