    Pyrenees difficulty

    In 2016 on my 72nd birthday and after spending the night at Bellari (highly recommended) in Saint Jean Pied de Port I took the Roman way. I had trained but there are no mountains or even hills in Florida so it was difficult. Go slow and listen to your body. I fell on the descent, fortunately no...

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    SJPP definitely, you don't want to miss Roncesvalles. I've done it twice, stopped in Orisson the second time, and wouldn't think of starting in Pamplona.

    Wonderful. Thank you

    is the first day as daunting as it looks?

    I've done it twice first at age 72 and then at 74. I believe that having a good restful couple of days before starting is valuable. The first time I walked almost 8 hours to Roncesvalles by the Napoleon route taking the slippery forest route and finding out why it's "Slippery" as I tumbled head...

    How to get from El Acebo to Molinaseca

    In my memory that's a very difficult stretch and I advise going slow along the road. Don't hesitate to take a cab if your ankle is telling you to do so! Buen Camino

    Trekking Poles in Logrono?

    There's a wonderful pilgrim stand outside Logrono and the bearded gent sells staffs that he makes. I've used two and like them better than poles.
