    Transport to SJPP from Biarritz

    Hi, I'm arriving into Biarritz at 10:45 tomorrow morning - 5th of April, and there doesn't seem to be any way of getting there that I can see. The trains are on strike? Can that be confirmed? And I'm also not sure of the bus timetable. I'm pretty sure they go from Bayonne. Can anyone provide an...

    Sleeping bag and Poles in SJPP

    I actually didn't mean to put tent haha It crept in somehow. But the sleeping bag is one I need. I might just bring it and drop it off if I find a replacement. Where I am at the minute I couldn't get to a store that sells them today. Thanks Jeanine! Moderator note: the thread title has been...

    Sleeping bag and Poles in SJPP

    Hi all, I'm leaving for the Frances tomorrow and I'm wondering about the cost of a sleeping bag and poles in the Saint Jean outdoor store. I have a sleeping bag but it's a bit bulky and I'm going back and forth on whether to bring it. If the cost of the equipment in SJ makes sense then I'd...

    Wet April?

    Hi Brenda, I've noticed that myself, in colder conditions it's almost worse to wear gloves it feels like. It must be to do with the fact that the material is wrapped tighter around your fingers, the blood probably doesn't flow as normal. But I will strongly consider that. Thank you.

    Wet April?

    Yeah, cheers Bradypus. I'll give her a look. 20% - 37% seems to suggest to pack for more than a couple of rainy days ha

    Wet April?

    Hi all, I was to do the Frances in May this year but now have to do April if I have any chance! But I was preparing for slightly warmer and maybe drier conditions in May. I did the Frances 5 years ago but I can't remember how wet the conditions were early on. Can anyone tell me how rainy a...

    How busy is the Frances these days?

    Thanks Wilhaus. I'm definitely hoping for more - I want the camraderie of it. As long as there's still room to venture off on your own and find an empty plot of land to admire 😂 I'll definitely enjoy the planning. Thanks again

    How busy is the Frances these days?

    Evening all. As is usually the way, I think, after you've done a Camino - you don't get too far in life before planning your next one. In 2018 I did the entire Frances from SJPP out to Finisterre. To this day it's still the greatest experience of my life, even after doing 250km on the Del Norte...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD FCS/ Health Control Form

    Evening all, back again! As per the title I'm looking for some information about applying for the FCS/ Health Control Form. I'm flying from Ireland into France on the 14th of September to then take a bus/train across the border to Irun that same day. I've just took a quick look at the SPTH...

    How do you plan your route out?

    I'm definitely into that cave art idea. I'm reading Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock at the minute so that cave art and historic viewing would be right up my street. I've got it noted, you're a gent Jerry.
