    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    If you haven't got the decency to respect the rules/laws of another country (let alone your own) then stick your hand out when it all goes wrong putting others lives at risk, a fine to me seems relatively minor. I wonder, in these circumstances, how the travel insurance company would respond. I...

    Hydration pack or water bottles?

    IMHO Far more flexibility with bottles. I buy them in country and rotate them as required - usually two "powerade" bottles for balance which are of sturdy plastic and have a nozzle top. Don't have to stop to use. Not stressed of damaging or loosing and can alternate preferred liquid if...

    Camino Irritants

    Good one Bob 👍 Hook, line and sinker ! Now as for irritants, what about those moronic head torches favoured by those who wake everyone up so they can enjoy Spanish scenery in the dark or everyone's favourite - cyclists !!

    Descent into Zubiri?

    You'll be absolutely fine. You are clearly doing solid training and distance presumably over varied terrain and will comfortably do the stage. There are other descents that your joints will notice (eg descent to Roncesvalles). Just plan to take your time, use your poles and have good supportive...

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    There is usually only one bit of advice I give about the Camino - Orisson. It was not my call but it was the best decision of the CF.
