    Raingear on Frances in September

    Caminojoy123, I like the full coverage of the Ferrino, but yes it is a little heavy.

    Raingear on Frances in September

    I have a Ferrino rain coat that is similar to the Altus, but I think it weighs a little more. Got it on Amazon and have used it for three Caminos. It covers a backpack, but is a coat not a poncho. I love it.

    Reservations?

    Maybe reserve in Santiago, if you want to stay for example at, Hospederia San Martin Pinario, in a Pilgrim room. You have to call for that. Buen Camino!

    Brierly Guide worst guidebook ever written?

    I like Brierly guides. Met him on the trail in 2013 and I liked him too. Taller than I thought.

    Question about Roncesvalles Reservation Payment

    I booked through Paypal, in 2013. You can send them an email asking to do this, see what happens. Good luck.

    Camino Franglés

    You are eligible for a Compostela if you continue your "Frangles" from Ferrol vs A Coruna, I believe.

    Freaking a little about albergue availability in July

    I'm sure you will have a wonderful journey. But, you may have to do one of the three things you state you prefer not to do.

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    My advice is, take your time. When you are faced with trying to keep pace with your new found Camino friends, or walk at your own pace.....walk at your own pace.

    Walking after heart surgery

    Hi Ray, I am 8 weeks post-op open heart surgery for an Aortic valve replacement. I walked 2 miles today pretty easily! Got a ways to go, but will walk another Camino , maybe in 2017. How many weeks post-op are you? PM me if you care to compare notes.

    Special places deserving exploration on C. Frances

    I agree, Samos. I showed up for the monastery tour, and was the only one! The lovely tour guide gave me a private tour in English. I stayed at the hotel across the street that night and had the paella! The walk from Samos to Sarria is very lovely too.

    Getting to Madrid from a village.

    John, that's great. Aortic valve by any chance? A valve replacement is what awaits me.

    Getting to Madrid from a village.

    Hi John. I'm really happy to hear that your surgery and recovery is going well, so well, that you will walk a year later! I am facing OHS soon as well. I have been assured that once recovered I will be able to train and walk again in Spain. You are my inspiration! Pam
