    Any last tips?

    I will be going for my 3rd Camino coming April, but this tip 1 is brilliant, I would not have thought of that ;-). And I hope not to need it, but the nuber of the police is always useful to know. And here is my 50cents worth of advice :mrgreen: : Travel light (preferably max 10% of your...

    Irish President walks the Camino

    I say: good for her she walks the Camino!, whatever length or form and however many bodyguards accompany her. The world would be an infinitely better place if every politician would walk the Camino (preferably from home :mrgreen: and back). So let all other politicians take this example!

    Dave Kuijpers

    Hello Kevin, Assuming you have not yet found Dave: There is a Dutch association, found at http://www.santiago.nl. It is in Dutch, but if you select the menu "Zoekertjes", you can fill in a form with which you can place a 'wanted'-message. (not directly, it is manually checked before it is...

    timeline limitation- where to fast forward?

    I did the whole thing in 31 days twice, without any rest days. Averaging 20-25km the first 2 weeks and close to 30 the next 2 weeks. Regarding your question, I'd say just start walking and see how it goes. You might find out you dont want any rest days, could save the bus for harder days, or...

This Camino is going to mean so much to you (as it already has), as you have and will again face your fears, which is something most people try to avoid for their whole life. So you have my respect!

    Is 16 Too Young?

    Hi 77, I just want to say: RESPECT, whether you go or not... When I was 16, I would not have been ready, let me tell you... You sound very stable and like you know what you are getting ready for, so why not? And if you discussed it with your parents, do they have any good reasons for you not...

    How much do you really need to know?

    Hi There, I have done 2 Camino's from SJPdP, and took a guide book both times, as to me it is worth the weight. However, I believe it is totally possible to do without. At the pelgrims office in St Jean, you are offered 3 A4 papers that basically contains all the info you need. 1 contains...

    What Was Your Biggest Mistake

    Great question, and most recognizable answers!!! For my first Camino, I totally recognize overpacking (19kg :twisted: ) & wrong shoes, but I managed to combine it with trying (& succeeding :mrgreen: ) to keep up with someone (long & beautiful story, sad ending ;) ) the Camino put on my path...
