    some advice

    I had Salomon Goretex boots in April 2018 on Frances. They were very good and my feet never got wet, even when we walked in rain or deep mud for days. BUT they are so heavy and so hot! I must say I left them behind and bought lighter shoes. I think Goretex is too much in spring, but great in...

    first-timer packing list starting April 11

    Three socks ok. I have a tradition: every time I loose one pair of socks on the first day of camino. One pair left in Madrid hostel bed, another in train... So, with three socks I'll still have two pairs left. That's enough. Otherwise, if you can carry it, take what you need. I'll have a pink...

    1st time camino franch in may

    Hello 🙋🏻‍♀️ So you're in front of a BIG adventure! Write in the search section "gear list" and you'll find many different lists. You don't sign up for the Camino, you just start walking.

    2021 Holy Year Reservations

    Good idea! Do you know where to start if I would follow your example? 😊

    Arrival SDC at St James Festival July 24&25 - Albergues nearly booked

    Good for you, but I would not hold my breath with Agoda. Not finding reservations, double payments, no refunds...bad experiences. Hope it works fine for you 👍

    Motor bikes

    Is it? Where did you get this idea? How about learning to accept and respect others? How about love, faith or Adventure? And you really can't tell about peoples' health by their looks. You don't know what they carry with them or why they have chosen that or this way to do it. It's not your right...

    To those on the Frances now...

    Yes, it's worth staying! I visited there in April 2018, very nice (except a very noisy group of ******ns). 👍

    Camino Snobs

    Oh yes! We had our share because we walked only Sarria-Santiago, only 10-18 km a day, and carried so small backbags people thought they were daybags 😄 AND we made the grave deeper by booking a hotel room! Noooo good, real or true pilgrims, no no. It's ridiculous, waste of time to reply to them.

    Beware of Stranger's Kindness - :)

    Well, they say 'get your arse moving and the rest of the body will follow'. You did it 😉, congrats 👍

    Camino French first two night & baggage weight

    I don't know about else but the weight is ok. I had the same twice and I'm not specially fit, in age 57. It's not too much if you have good backbag 😊👍

    May & June

    Last and this year April-May: mostly quite warm, even too hot. Chilly mornings, though. Last year we had one week very cold, after that very hot weeks. You really can't know what to expect. 😊

    Newbie here

    We booked private albergues two days ahead in April. It really was needed, since we were slow walkers too and usually the last to arrive to an albergue. Once we had to walk 5 more km because all places were full and after that we booked ahead.

    From which country this pilgrim is from?

    Osprey and Deuter also often used in Skandinavia, at least in Finland. But I guess you're about right there 😊👍
