    Passports/Money

    when purchasing shirts or pants make sure they have a zipped pocket. I put them in ziplock bags and carry them either in a chest pocket, zipped up, or in a zipped pockets on my pants. Always with me and almost impossible to get pickpocketed.

    What portions can be skipped on CF (if necessary)?

    I I would just start walking and if I got behind have a read of the guide book and get a train or a bus occasionally. Some sections on the flat between Burgos and Leon could easily be missed. But 38 day will be enough if you are fit and motivated

    Orisson Response/Saint Jean Question

    I stayed at Orisson last year, it took a little time for them to respond, they will. And it's worth staying there

    Tony, good luck for next year. I took 1 fleece and 1 windproof jacket for the first week or so, the Pyrenees. As i got further west and more into june they became redundant and i dumped them, too expensive to send em home. 3 days of rain but with a poncho was still warm enough. Roger

    Done and dusted

    I just rested and elevated, it worked fine, followed by a short slow day just to make sure. Then set a 30k max limit for myself. Finished strong.

    Done and dusted

    Finished my first Camino yesterday and am posting to thank the Camino community for all the help and advice that made my walk successful. I read all the threads, asked question, looked at the videos, read the packing lists and as a result had a great trip. The only advise I didn't take was to...

    Ready to Rock Thankyou guys

    Same here. I start tomorrow arriving in St J mid morning. The info sharing has helped enormously

    Walking from SJPDP to Roncesvalles around 10 in the morning. Would it be too late?

    I had the same dilemma and decided to enjoy Orisson and the Pyrenees. Got a month of walking ahead so I decided to go slow and enjoy the mountains

    Rumours of Pilgrims being held in SJPP due to crowding?

    yep, certainly gives a different perspective, and as she is actually there, somewhat more believable,

    Rumours of Pilgrims being held in SJPP due to crowding?

    *I think the term holding is being taken out of context, *but this info came from a local Camino group *I've booked ahead so no issue for me, *but this is what forums are for, to seperate fact from fiction

    Rumours of Pilgrims being held in SJPP due to crowding?

    I heard that this weekend that 900 Pilgrims were being held in StJohn as there is only 320 beds available in Roncesvalles, is anybody able to confirm or negate this, I start next week and am a little concerned

    Walking the Camino Frances May 2nd

    Tra Train seems to be a good way. Just over an hour and quite cheap. Can book online. Google sesrch will bring up the site.

    Should I just "go for it?"

    I'll be 10 days behind and also a fast walker needing to temper my pace, especially as I have plenty of time,
  18. Roger Deee

    Should I just "go for it?"

    Totally agreed with Joodle, I am walking May this year, have studied the forums contributors and watched the videos, it has (hopefully) taught me what I need to know. I am training alone, walking alone but it seems you'll never be alone on the Camino unless you want to

    Should I just "go for it?"

    just interested in one statement, "don't wear waterproof shoes" why?
  20. Roger Deee

    Should I just "go for it?"

    I'm doing it in May/June on my own, I cannot find anyone crazy enough to join me, I'm also nearly 60 and know no Spanish at all. From what I read you're never alone on the Camino, "just do it"
