  1. Thegreyfoxfromoz

    Road walking

    Plenty of road walking. Worst is on the way into Leon. Best to take the alternative route which most guide books mention
  2. Thegreyfoxfromoz

    between Burgos and Leon

    We did Pamplona to Leon in 14 days. Still had time to stop and check out the sights. we averaged +-30km a day and usually 6 hours walking. All depends on how fast you are and how far you can go

    Day 26 - one day to go!!! We had hoped to get our last day under 25k but there was not much suitable accommodation from 28km out until our end point. So we made it our longest day - even setting off early Today we set off into the Galician four seasons in one day weather again. Our...

    Day 25 - Toast, coffee and juice - fuel for pilgrims. Sometimes 2 euros sometimes 5. I had an early work call and lots of emails to deal with. We said hi to the French ladies we shared dinner with - they have spent 5 years walking 300k each year from Mont St Michel in France to Santiago in...

    Day 23. Today started in a toasty warm room in the snow. We had breakfast of fried eggs, omelet’s, toast and coffee. We headed out into a cold, overcast day. Like yesterday, The trail was covered in snow so we elected to follow the road for a few kms. We got thru to a village and began to...

    Day 22. What a challenge this has turned out to be! We started off in Vega de Valcarce and expected a tough day. We knew we had a climb from 650m to 1340m - the third highest on the Camino. We also expected some bad weather. What we didn’t expect was the fresh snow from the night before. We had...

    Day 21 - I love adventure, I’m addicted We have less than 200km to go. We have had such a great time and every morning now we wake up and ask each other - what can happen that could stop us? We both have the same answer- hopefully nothing. We are determined to finish. Even as our bodies and...

    Day 20. We managed another 1km today starting in El Acebo and finishing in Camponaraya. A good nights sleep mostly, only interrupted by our neighbour and an early morning work call.

    Day 19. Hard to believe we only have 8 or 9 days to go to finish. Today was a day with many parts again. We completed 33.4km to make a total of 521.8km. We started in Murias de Rechivaldo in a wonderful Spanish house that has many rooms and courtyards, converted to an Albergue. If only they...

    Day 18 - We started it early with beautiful weather and a still cold room. One of the downsides of a private room is they are hardly ever warm. With two of us, a private room is the same o a little more per person and gives us some added privacy, security and insulation from snorers who are a...

    Day 16 we had an early start out of Puente Villarente. Our most expensive breakfast so far and then a hike in dry crisp morning air. Thankfully no wind until we got quite close to Leon. We saw more storks on church bell towers along the way. We got into Leon in time for lunch and then had the...

    Day 15 - cold, wet windy. We had wind in our faces varying from 15-80kmh all day. We got started out of El Burgos Ranero about 830, due to a small planning oversight We had 12km to breakfast. That gave us the drive to push thru and get there quickly. We had long straight flat sections of road...

    Day 14- was a big day for many reasons. We officially passed half way and we did our longest day so far - 35.2km for a total of 398km. We started after lunch 3 weeks ago and completed half way before lunch today so 13 days. It’s a great thing to know that what is left is less than what went...

We managed 9km in 2 hours and 15 in just over 3. We stopped I Carion de las Condas to get portable lunch as we had...

    Day 12 - We’ve now hit the Mesita. The high desert of Spain. We are experiencing the usual weather for March here. So we have long flat stretches of straight road with little protection from 40kmh winds that so far have been behind us or coming from our right. As we have now turned North West...

    Day 10. A story in many parts The accepted wisdom is that when you do the Camino you should not be constrained by time. But reality means that some people, like us, have a deadline. So we came here with a general plan that would see us done in 28 days. Earlier this week I had updated our broad...

    Day 9. We started off in Atapuerca just before 9. The sleepy little town is a world Heritage site due to the discovery of hominid remains over 600000 yeas old. We kicked off with a 175m. Climb in sub zero temps and blue sky and then down hill looking for breakfast. We found something in the...
