    Dithering big time over Go decision.

    I am on the train to the airport. My Camino has begun!

    A Bit of a Crisis

    He found the documents Nathanael. He posted the good news later in the thread.

    A Bit of a Crisis

    Great news. You’ve been sorely tested. I’ve woke up with your bad news in my feed and I can’t tell you how quickly I scrolled down looking for resolution. So pleased for you. What a trial!

    One Month To Go :-)

    That was another great post Davebugg. Thank you so much for taking all that time to make it. You must get very in the zone when you write such posts, they are very detailed and lucid. I shall read both of them again later as the nerves are starting to compete with the excitement. I got a lot of...

    One Month To Go :-)

    That was a great post! I really enjoyed reading about how you spend the last hours in the build up to the grand depart. It was rather calming too. Do you have a plan in mind for the morning? Will it be an early start? You have your food for the day already bought I think? Will you stop at...

    Weather next week... should I change my plans?

    That’s the second time I’ve done a double take when reading your comments! It’s the Ian reference. It makes me briefly look up and go huh?! What site are you using for the mountain forecasts. It doesn’t look too bad on the site I use.

    Weather next week... should I change my plans?

    On the accuweather.com site I'm seeing "spotty afternoon showers" and 28 degree C for Sunday 16th in SJPP. I'd be happy to take that.

    Weather next week... should I change my plans?

    What site are you looking at for that forecast? I'm starting the 19th so I kind of have a vested interest! I notice it's lovely and sunny by Pamplona all of that week, but that's about Day 4 and sunny weather there won't help in the hills!

    Training for Camino - my worries

    15km is getting close to a regular day on the Camino if you are aiming to walk according to the Brierley book. The difference is that on the Camino you have all day to walk the distance you want. Not have to squeeze it in to a regular day at home. So, it will be easier. My training walks are...

    Training for Camino - my worries

    That 15km you did has put 15km of hard work into your feet. They may ache, but you have improved your foot fitness. Keep going and each walk will mean they will hurt less on the Camino. As per the other advice, don’t push too hard. You want to toughen up the feet but you don’t want to push too...

    Surprise map find.

    With just 10 days to go before heading off to SJPP, I was browsing the rather random map section of a charity book store in my home town looking for a big map of Spain to mark my journey on. Just out of interest because I haven’t looked properly to see where all these places are that I hope to...

    That SB question, again :)

    I’ll be 9 days later than you. I’m taking an 800g bag. Being cold at night is the pits. I’d rather not carry the 800g but I figure, by Pamplona I will have lost that weight off my person. So I then get the bag for free!

    September 2018 who’s going?

    See you on the 18th then!

    September 2018 who’s going?

    I’ll be at Roncevalles on the 19th too so I’ll look out for you. I’ll be strolling up direct from SJPP. So I may not be in the best of shape! Time will tell. See you on the trail.

    September 2018 who’s going?

    Me too. Flying into Biarritz on the 17th and taking the first step on the morning of the 19th September. See you on the climb!

    Dithering big time over Go decision.

    Thank you to everyone for the kind encouragement and supportive words. I am now booked on to a flight arriving in Biarritz on Sept 17th and have accommodation booked as far as Zubiri. From there, I'll wing it day by day!

    Training for CF:5 weeks to go!

    I’m also stepping up the training. Today I had 3, yes THREE, cafe con leche.

    Accommodation in Biarritz

    The bus to Bayonne is right outside the terminal and costs 1 Euro each. So that won’t beak the bank. I’m sure someone will post more details, if not I will when I get up! As for accommodation in Bayonne, I have looked for myself and there are some decent places in the centre on Airbnb for about...

    Dithering big time over Go decision.

    A ferry journey eh! The Lundy ferry was the last time I will ever venture onto water. Longest journey of my life. It's certainly a novel way of starting the camino. I plan to fly to Biarritz. I updated my rucksack to an Osprey Stratos 36 and realised after that it's a few inches longer than...

    Wow! That's cosmic. Thank you very much for that encouragement nyc.
