    Tips for preparation? :)

    Cash or credit card

    I think you got your answers here if not somewhere in this forum. You can download Camino related app which tells you which towns have ATM/bank facilities and you can then plan accordingly whether you need to withdraw cash or not depending on your schedule. Buen Camino.

    How much training is required?

    I second this post. Stay at Orisson to take it easy. If raining you'll be grateful not to continue to Roncesvalles. If no rain, being in the Pyrenes, you get to socialise and make friends. win win. :)

    The joy of sharing the last 100 km

    Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of time/holidays to walk the whole CF. Most of my friends from SE Asia only have 14 days annual leave.

    2015 SEPTEMBER PILGRIMS

    Hi Beth, I just complete the form on the website and received an email from Caroline informing me about the current state of booking for my date. And if I'm ok, I will need to send an email to confirm the booking. The first email from Caroline took a couple of days, maybe 2. This was last week...
