Thanks Frood - will definitely look it up. In France now visiting family (Burgundy) and will head up to Vezelay tomorrow to find a guide or two. Counting down the days to departure.
Have a wonderful trip if I don't 'chat' to you sooner!

Hi Frood -
So many Canucks chatting and no mention of beer or hockey!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As I stroll through the forum, I'm beginning to feel the weight of my agnosticism! - and that one's lack of connection to Catholicism is a major issue for a great many. I'm certainly...
Great Rebekah!
Thanks for the invite. Barring hurricanes, floods or volcanic erruptions, we'll stop in. Took a peek at your blog - can't wait to get stuck in to the whole thing.
I have no set schedule and don't intend to saddle (boomboom!) myself with one, but shoud be in your neighboorhood...
Thanks Rebecca -
We're both well-seasoned backpackers/touring cyclists. Murph has more hi-tech ultralight protective clothing than me, along with a comfy and spacious watertight travel basket. I know some people worry about a dog's well-being on the Camino, but mine is portable and travelling in...
Thanks David,
I'd probably walk (a shorter route) if there were no Murph, but I have 6 weeks - too long to leave my friend behind. She's a fun, adventurous companion - so cycle it is, knowing that it will limit contact with other pilgrims. But I'm sure there will be many cyclists that I will...
I'm hoping to depart Vezelay on the 6th of September or so on my touring bike. I'll be fully loaded for camping and will have my feisty wee terrier in a front basket, hence a bumpy GR doesn't appeal. I reckon the whole route to SJPP is pretty easy for cycling, but scenery is what I'm after...

Hi Carol!
Another Canadian (now living in the UK) pilgrim-to-be here. I start on Sept 6th as well, but will be cycling from Vezelay.
Best of luck to you and maybe we'll cross paths at some point (I'll be on a loaded bike with a small dog in a front carrier).
Buen Camino!!
Jacquie
who will be cycling the Vezelay route fully loaded and unsupported this September. Murph will be riding in a cushy front pannier, me - I'll be on the cruelly hard touring saddle doing all the work!
I'm originally from Alberta in Canada, but now based in the UK. Murph and I have been on a couple...
