    EW....that's disgusting!

    May 2020 Pyrenees Weather?

    Hard prediction but we did that route last week of May 2011. We had hail, rain and couple of days sunshine. However, the scenery and it being our first Camino made up for the unpleasant weather. In fact from St Jean to Estella has been my favourite part of the whole Camino Frances

    Graffiti on the Frances

    I noticed more of it from Sarria to Santiago than from St Jean to Sarria....what's more I thought there was a different 'kind' of pilgrim walking that route too who seemed to be hell bent on getting in the last 100kms as quickly as possible!

    Camino Christmas present!

    My best Camino present was for Christmas 2012 – the John Brierley book. I had often heard about the Camino but never gave it a second thought until my son gave me this book. I read through it over the Christmas hols and by the end of January was hooked! Decided to just get a ‘taster’ of the...

    Our personal Everest.

    Hi Wayfarer If you are reasonably fit - walking regularly perhaps 3 miles per day - there is no reason why you should not be able to tackle and complete Napoleon in one day. My husband and I (age 66 & 63) left St Jean at 7am on a lovely May morning 2013, light rain started at our ‘coffee’...
