    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    Best bit of advice! Especially for the most organised of us. One of the gifts of walking the Camino is this sort of truth unfolds itself as we finish. Thanks Robo. P

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    I think the moderator should close this thread as it seems you are unwilling to be open to varying options , many based on experience. It is clear that one cannot rationalise with irrational people. May I politely remind you this forum is just that: an opportunity to discuss, explore and...

    Hi @handler , This is a very fair question. There is no doubt that you are fit enough to walk the Camino Frances. I fully understand the restraints of time and what one can dedicate to completing the Camino. However, without casting any judgment on your intentions I really feel that it would...

    Gosh, I only have 12 on mine. Maybe there are variations of the Holy Year credential? Either way, I’ll take the advice that has been shared here. Buen camino!
