    Realistic timeframe

    I was a pretty fit 65 yr old when I did it with 37 days walking. I slowed down a couple of days when I hurt my shin. It became pretty grueling at times. Fortunately I linked up with another 65 yr old guy for the last 11 days. We were well matched for pace and daily distance. Also, I had little...

    How tough is SJPdP to Roncesvalles... Need Advice

    Hi JJin, I'll offer my perspective from a similar situation. You report you can do 15 miles/day. This leg is a little more than 15 miles, and much of it is difficult.

    Reservation at Orisson's

    Tracie, I thought about doing the same last Sept. I had made my reservation 2 months in advance.

    SJPP start 2016 mid-August

    Thanks for the advice. I've settled on doing the Frances, so I'm not considering other routes. I'm beginning to look at starting the end of August. If I do that, I hope to finish before the cooler weather sets in. Also, during my training, I discovered I'm much more suited to hiking in the...

    SJPP start 2016 mid-August

    Hi folks, this is my first post, but I've been reading the forum for several months trying to prepare for my first pilgrimage. There is a wonderful amount of useful info, but there's one point I haven't been able to settle on - when should I begin my Frances pilgrimage? Should I anticipate...
