    LIVE from the Camino The Camí Sant Jaume from Girona

    Thanks. After today, I am not sure I will be continuing. I had a truly HARD time - 9.5 hours and then I got a lift from someone blessed from just outside Contonegrós. Not only am I unlikely to continue tomorrow, but I fear my pilgrim days may be over. I cannot put myself through that again, or...

    Les Preses. Went to Vertisol for breakfast this morning (June 2022). They even offered a ready freshly made vegan bocarillo!

    This is a very kind gesture. I have to arrive in L'Esquirol as someone has offered me a sofa, so I will take a route there. I appreciate all your work more than I can say. Thank you all for helping me.

    Thank you for your encouragement. It's the Sant Esteve to L'Esquirol I am tackling tomorrow and mentions of the Wikiloc trail not being there is my worry

    Oh I am so nervous about tomorrow after reading all your posts. I am really unfamiliar with GPS. Should I try?

    Hi, thank you for taking the time to answer and share your experience. So far I have just, and I mean only just (!) managed to find accommodation where I have finished walking for the day, but you are right, if I cannot, I can always take a bus or train. Thank you very much.

    Sorry, that posted before I finished it. Live from the Camino Camí Sant Jaume day 2: Amer to Sant Esteve d'en Bas. So I decided to ditch my sleeping bag and the pack was lighter as a result. There was less sun, more shade and, later once I had got to the hostal, it poured with rain. Started 6am...

    LIVE from the Camino The Camí Sant Jaume from Girona

    Girona-Olot-Vic-Girona

    Hello all, one week to go (UK trains allowing) and I am wondering - paper maps (there seem to be 4 which cover the Girona-Olot-Vic region) or a GPS device (I have never used one) or smartphone with wikilocks map downloaded. Or all or....? I am concerned about getting lost, perticularly between...

    I should add that the walking conference is happening in universities in each of the 3 places, starting in G, moving (by bus) to O and then (again by bus) to V where it ends. 😊

    Girona-Olot-Vic-Girona

    Yes, I am making this triangular walk and then returning to Girona for a walking conference where I will be taking delegates along the parts of the CC in each of the 3 towns/cities. Once the conference has ended, I will resume from Vic and continue to Montserrat and thence Barcelona. Thank you...

    Girona-Olot-Vic-Girona

    Thank you very much. I had planned 2 days per leg, but if I need more I must change my travel plans! I didn't know about that VV link, so thank you very much. And thanks for the recommendations. Coming from Scotland myself, that's a good rec although I wonder if I will be able to afford it. I...
