    advance booking of Orisson in early April?

    It's about 3 hours from St Jean , stayed in 2016 very good if you decide to stay I would book to make sure you get a bed. If you decide to walk on to Roncesvalles make sure you get some food for your day walk from St Jean . I myself start on the 11th of April, just enjoy and soak it up like a...

    Making the commitment

    Maybe you should just go for it ,i myself have been known to overthink my Camino . Even to the extent I'm going, I'm not going and basically talking myself from doing the Camino .As we all know the call of the Camino is very strong, as for intermediate Spanish I basically mimed my way across...

    Roncesvalles... is just not for me

    Sorry to read your experience in Roncesvalles ,for myself I've stayed twice probably more grateful now I'm sitting in the comfort of home surroundings in Scotland. The numbers of pilgrims passing daily must be daunting for the new and regular volunteers .As a pilgrim who doesn't speak French...

    Camino Ended, Sadly

    When you're fit and able you'll be back a good place to begin from next time ,a train to Fromista and a couple of hours and your back to where you stopped , long may your road run. Buen Camino.

    Need to abandon walk!

    Maybe have a rethink and have some rest and recuperation with a few stages ahead, bus and rest, for a good few stages and hopefully the feet will be in a better condition for your remaining camino . Good luck whatever you decide. Buen Camino.

    No beds ,move on.

    Just finished my second Camino Frances from Burgos, it was a continuation of my Camino from last year which I had to stop in Burgos and fly back to Glasgow Scotland to my son who became ill and died 30 minutes after I got to the hospital. It was always my intention to go back, so on the 24 th of...

    LIVE from the Camino Sadness, Soreness and Joy on the Frances

    On my 2012 camino I lost 5 toenails ,I taped them down with sticky tape till they came off . Just remember your made in Scotland from girders at least that's what I told myself when struggling ,out as early as you can to get the benefit of the cool if you feel fit enough push on to Ages or the...

    Look Around You!

    When walking in 2012 I kept thinking about the field of stars,and having left an albergue in the dark crossing a black countryside with my head torch and on stopping for a breather I looked back from whence I came ,and saw more stars than I'd ever seen in my life . Buen Camino.

    The prayer used at Cruz de Ferro?

    Hi Angus here , what I did to get the words to the prayer was put subtitles up while watching the Way. As far as what reaching this pile of gravel it felt like it meant something to me ,possibly another marker on the journey to Santiago or if it's not for you,as the song says " walk on bye".

    Help me feel the magic

    If we thought the Camino was easy we probably wouldn't do it, on my own Camino in 2012 I struggled at various times during my 31 day walk to Santiago .When it was physical I aimed for small goals e.g. tree to tree bush to bush or rock to rock. When it was mental I used simple sayings to...

    Social anxiety...

    Hi Wilding ,Don't let these thoughts live rent free in your head ,I've always been backward at going forward with poor social skills at times,but the pull of the Camino is very strong. The majority of pilgrim's made up for what I lacked enjoy every minute of your camino I'm sure other's wiser...

    Speak English Well as a courtesy to others

    On the Camino Frances 2012 I was basically a mime artist and pointed myself across Spain.

    Water bottles or water bladders??

    Used platypus in 2012 tube got very dirty and without cleaning brush hard to clean,this year I'm using Bcb water bottles one fitted to backpack waist belt sitting in water bottle pouch,a lot easier to access ,cleaning with denture tablets or a spoon of bicarbonate of soda.
