Hi Rob:
I've had some luck with one ways. For some reason they don't seem sometimes to be as expensive as the round trips!
Besides, I'm not sure I'd want to go back to where I started from? I like the idea of flying in and out of different locales!
Kind regards, (and thanks for your YouTube...
Bombs away!! Your post has already provided some useful help for you!! The amazing fraternity of ivar's forum!
Take a look at the 3 pics of last year I just added to my original post first and see if they assist.
Greetings all!
So I'm a "proper planning prevents poor performance", kinda guy.
I was able to make a loose schedule for my Camino Frances last year that worked extremely well, and allowed me to complete the Camino within the time I had....
If I can assist any who are trying to complete their...
Hola Ading!
I'm not an expert, but walked the CF with a Filipina last May, June.
1. It's NOT the same as a Marathon....except that part when you just want to get it done after you hit the wall. BTW, you hit the wall EVERY day! lol... Marathoners tend to have NO idea how tough this is on...
We were a little crazy. We found a bit of a jog made the trip down pretty enjoyable. I DID pay for it later but my incredible partner just laughs when we remember that.

Hey Margo:
I did it in Merrill's Moab 3's. My partner did it in some crazy lightweight shoes she found at the 2nd hand store.
She rocked the entire CF....I on the other hand struggled mightily, both with a pack too heavy (even after losing a pile of stuff) and a loss of feeling in the bottom...
hahahah! Okay Europeans, okay!!
I'm sure you heard this one:
"In Italian you sing.
In English you write.
In German, you negotiate.
In French, you love,
and in Spanish, you pray."
(from a Spanish King apparently!)
.....how many actually walk the entire Frances?
Are there any numbers on this?
Kinda thought there would be more on the sign-ups. Is this because the Europeans pilgrims wouldn't be on this English-speaking site?
Hi All:
I just spent a very memorable trip in Saint Lucia, and was totally surprised to discover in some of the YouTubers signs that showed an albergue in Leon(?) called by the same name! I would love to stay there if possible!
Have any of you seen this place/stayed here? I've looked through...
So, found a spot in Espinal! Do I really have to "hightail" it there AFTER (somehow) actually making it to Roncevalles? Sheesh! I'm trying to "wing it", good people of the Forum, but I'm definitely getting a little "squirrelly"!
