David thank you for this - it sounds really lovely and I am being persuaded!
Could you possibly advise whether we should do the Coastal Route or the Central route - are they the same distance and how many days should we budget for?
Also I am coming from the UK with the children. We could...
Given we will be potentially starting the weekend of Easter week, I may need to book more accommodation than I would normally? I read a lot on here about how busy the Camino gets during that week.
Thank you for this - super helpful and very wise! Part of me wants to finish in Santiago for the kids' sake - it would be amazing for them to walk for two weeks and actually finish. For me I am not sure. I am sure to come back so we could do as you suggest and start far away. If we did this...
Hello - I might replicate this in April with my children. Could you possibly share your route 'map' ie where you stopped and how many hours you walked each day? Would be helpful to me as I will have two 11 year olds in tow and am unsure how far we need to walk each day and also whether i need...
Hello again - you replied to my post about doing the walk with my children four years ago!! I thought i recognised your name! I am finally getting my act together and after two years of ill health, want to get walking again.
Thank you for the book recommendations - really appreciated. We are big...
Finally I am hoping to do the Camino next March/April. We have two weeks. Me and two children. I had hoped to do this 3 years ago but something got in the way. We are now fitter, stronger and its time.
Any advice on which section of the Camino we might do? We come from the UK and will fly...
hi again
I am struggling with how to get to Pamplona easily. Where can i find info on accessing the Camino from the UK? no direct flights to Pamplona so assuming I will need to go via MAdrid unless anyone can advise otherwise? thank you!
@saint Mike hola to you! Thanks for this too. I anticipate coming back another time to finish in Santiago so would welcome suggestions on a suitable start for the three of us bearing in mind the kids' ages and that it's just me (female) with them! We fly from gatwick and I'd like to avoid snowy...
Thanks @Raggy much appreciated. I am less worried about a certificate and finishing than enjoying our first camino. Where would you recommend we start bearing in mind I'm coming from London Gatwick in early April and I think should avoid the pyrenees area given how young the kids are. Thoughts...
This is v helpful advice. I.have been meaning.toask for advice about.where to start and whether the pyrenees would be safe in April but you've answered my question already. If we start midway then how does that affect the decision on whether we walked the whole camino? Sorry for my ignorance I...
Hi
Think you answered my question about walking with twins earlier. Can I ask a basic question about cooking --- is.it.typical.to cook your own food every evening and if so, where do.you buy provisions?!
That was really helpful (and inspiring)! One question in response- how do you know places have space for you if you are playing each day by ear? I am a planner by nature so winging it doesn't come naturally!!!
We have two weeks Easter holidays in 2020 and my two kids are now capable of walking 4-6 hours daily
Ideally want to do the first half of the camino and come back another time to do the second half.
Any advice? Am I mad doing it alone with two kids?
