    "river route" into Burgos safety

    It was not well marked and felt a bit sketchy. I'm 6'4" so a lady alone probably would not feel ok. I used taxi in the past going into Pamplona, Burgos, and out of Leon. I feel that St James is understanding.

    "river route" into Burgos safety

    I walked Camino Frances last May (third time) along the river into Burgos. Mistake. Take a taxi as soon as you pass the overpass. Best 10e you could invest.

    Camino Alternative Guide

    Thank you Ivar - This really provides a nice backup plan which I have been looking for. I will leave for Roncesvalles next week and plan to use the Brierley guide when possible.

    September Babies: Sept 12 is the day!

    how the weather in

    Santos - You can get wieght done below 18lbs and will have a much better experience if you do, HOWEVER it will cost you some money. Light weight sleeping bags (1lb), packs (2lbs) and clothes (less than 1lbs) including rain gear can be obtained from good hiking outfitters. They may be expensive...

    My first post and starting Camino Frances in September

    Ready To Go Janet et al - I will be spending the last night before the trail in a real hotel in Pamplona getting over jet lag. The next day (6 Sept) I will go to the monestary in Roncesvalles to get credentials and spend the night before starting off on the 7th - at least that's the plan...
