    Camino Olvidado

    Thanks very much Omicko, that bit of info helped me to decide to walk from Bilbao to Aguilar de Campoo then take a bus to Pamplona and walk to Aguilar again and then on to Cacabeos.

    Camino Olvidado

    Camino Olvidado

    👋 hello, I will be taking the ferry from Portsmouth England to Santander sailing on 31st of March. Are you going to start in Bilbao or Pamplona. To be honest the lack of accommodation give me the excuse to wild camp. I use a 3 wheeled walking trolley to carry camping kit.

    Camino Olvidado

    I going to walk the Olvidado in Spring this year. I would like to find folks who are interested in going as well. I have walked 11 Camino’s in the passed 8 years. It is my intention to be prepared to wild camp at times due to the lack of albergues on this route. I do not walk very fast.
