I walked last September camino frances (34 days) and used the Resmed Air mini. Fantastic little machine. First I bought the BMC M1 and used it for a week before the trip. I didn't like it. The Resmed Air mini was 10 times better.
I was able to plug in the CPAP in all albergues. At Albergue de...
Hello there!!
Days before my trip from Australia, I decided to walk from SJPDP. I still went to Lourdes to visit the sanctuary for two full days. It was beautiful!
This was my first Camino, and wanted to be more confident in the process. I felt that SJPDP was easier for someone with no...
Hi there,
I'm flying from Australia this Thursday 8 September and been feeling a little bit like you.
I'm sure we will be fine. There will be a lot moral support from other peregrinos.
Looking forward to meeting you on the way.
God bless!
Oye muchísimas gracias!!! Spanish is my first language and I didn't know about the daily meditations options. I already have the app on my phone, but after reading your advice I found the meditations under 'Guía del Peregrino'. Saludos.
Happy to hear that!. I am getting ready for my trip in early September. At the end my mother and sister will meet me in Santiago. God Bless and Buen Camino!
I live in Sydney. I have been living in Australia for 15 years and never had a snake encounter... until a couple of weeks ago in a near park. The first was a Red belly black snake. A week later a brown snake. I almost run over her. I was terrified. Hopefully I won't repeat that during my Camino...
Thanks for the info. I'll also travel to Paris from Sydney. I am doing my booster this weekend.
Apart from the international Covid certificate, did you do a test before living Australia to show authorities you are not Covid positive?
And, in relation to those three different Covid travel forms...
I have read from a couple of people that this route is even more beautiful than the Napoleon route in Camino Frances. Have you done both by any chance?. In any case I know that any route has things to offer.
I should have been more cleared. I couldn't find in the Gronze.com website camino passing via Lourdes. But thanks for the clarification. I'll research the Piemonte route. Thanks.
Hi,
I have been reviewing the information provided by @Hans-Georg Goebel.
I think what that it is not possible to start walking from Lourdes.
Perhaps the advice is actually to get by public transport to a town called Oloron-Sainte-Marie and walk from there to
And then from Somport, you...
Hi there,
My trip is in early September and I'm also thinking about visiting Lourdes for a couple of days before travelling to SJPP.
When you say more beautiful, is compared to what?
How many days would the above take?
Are there enough albergues in that route?
Thanks in advance.
Have you considered only taking Disposable Flip Flops Foam Pedicure Spa Slippers? very light and you only need to take one pair for the whole trip. The pair weights only 31 grams. I bought here in Australia these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/154566574264?var=454644994610
As other have suggested here, I bought from Enlightened Equipment the following down blanket - it weights 0.322 grams:
Revelation Custom
(Down Type: 950, Temperature: 50°F (10°C), Length: Regular, Width: Wide, Add Draft Collar: No, Outside Fabric Options: Midnight Blue 7D, Inside Fabric Color...

The size M-L Altus atmospheric poncho will fit you if:

Hi Peter,
I am also considering buying the BMC M1. I returned the Air Mini because it was too noisy for me (and my wife next to me).
Have you tested the BMC M1? how noisy is it?
Thanks.
