    THANK YOU to All on This Forum Who Help We "Rookie Pilgrims"

    Dan, I walked with several new Canadian friends on my first Camino mid-April. It changed my life. I look at everything differently now. I've slowed things down and and appreciate the simplicity I brought back home. It was the best thing I've ever done just for me. Taking 6 weeks away seemed...

    Orrison is not responding! Help!

    My plan was to get to SJpDP the same day I arrived from the US. Didn't work because of immigration lines then missing planes, trains, automobiles, etc. Ended in Pamplona for the night with a reservation at Orrison the next night. Took a taxi from Pamplona to SJpDP the following morning and...

    First two days

    Like most of the responses to questions like yours, it has to do with fitness. For me at 67? I made a reservation at Orisson and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I made for Camino planning. It's a tough walk on the first day and breaking it into 2 days made it doable and kept me...

    Right size shoes

    Well, I'm back having started St Jean on April 15 and arriving Santiago on May 20. At age 67 it is going down as the most memorable experience of my adult life. Guessing I might be in re-entry mode for a while or, maybe forever... But back to shoes. I did no training on hills before departing...

    Madrid to SJPP

    whariwharangi, thanks for the prompt reply. I've read elsewhere about taking a taxi from Pamplona to SJPdP. Any input on that?

    Madrid to SJPP

    I'm sure this must have been asked a zillion times before but, I can't find it. If I arrive Madrid 10 am, what time should I plan to arrive SJPP that evening? Planning on a bus to Pamplona then taxi for the final leg. Thanks in advance......

    My packing list -- is it good? Would love feedback!

    The Scrubba bag is simple and really works...I've used it several times boondocking in my small travel trailer. Its essentially a dry bag with some bumps on the inside to agitate the contents. You'd have to turn it inside out (to dry) and hang it on the exterior of your pack. Don't think it...

    My packing list -- is it good? Would love feedback!

    Great pack and excellent feedback. For me the add of a small vaseline is going into my kit. Would be great if the rest of the world was so communicative and helpful!

    Right size shoes

    I'm flying on April 13 from the States to start shortly after. I've read lots of input on this topic and did purchase a pair of Merrell's a full size larger than my normal size after using my regular trainers (training) for a several weeks doing 20-25k a day 4-5 times a week. I found the...
