  1. long trails

    Can anyone give me any advice on doing the Camino Frances with a two-year old.

    Not being negative. I just think children have the right to refuse being dragged half way across the country. As a two year old, they will not be able to protest!

    Can anyone give me any advice on doing the Camino Frances with a two-year old.

    My advice? Don't.

    Backpacks in bars/cafes

    If I see 'no backpack' signs then I take my €s elsewhere. Why should you be expected to leave your possessions on the street? Nope, I just walk on.

    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    Too true. This forum has more of these types of people than any I frequent! The BBC show was not that bad at all. Someone mentioned the disruption that the film crew can cause. Maybe they should just film using their phones!

    Most hotels on bookings.com almost full for November?

    You won't need to book in November. They'll always be a bed somewhere.

    Roncesvalles... is just not for me

    I found it unfriendly. To be honest I found a lot of the camino unfriendly particularly once people get into their clicky little groups.

    How crowded is it.

    Carry a tent. Why pay €190 for a room when you can camp for free? Even if an albergue is full, they may let you camp in the grounds.

    Which 120km?

    I'd say get yourself to Tui and walk to Santiago that way on the last stretch of the Portuguese. It's much nicer than Soria to Santiago and far less trodden. My second suggestion if based on the fact you can only afford six days to walk. If this is because of work commitments then maybe...

    Is there currently a long stretch without refreshment or water?

    Ok I seem to be having issues with accessing these remote spots - I guess thats what makes them remote! The area I identified on the Meseta has literally no where to park. I'd either be blocking the road, the camino or be on private land. Other access points are on dirt road and I don't want...

    Is there currently a long stretch without refreshment or water?

    Yea I appreciate the Camino is not the AT or PCT but I am sure walkers would still appreciate a sit down, shade and a free hot drink. Maybe they've been hiking alone and fancy some company for a few minutes. Yes the VDLP would be good but I have just left that area largely due to the heat...

    Is there currently a long stretch without refreshment or water?

    Yes I remember that stretch. I have a feeling there was a food truck somewhere along there. It sticks in my memory because they were selling weed as well! Ok just looked it up on maps and there is 'Pilgrim Bar' about half way along that stretch.

    Is there currently a long stretch without refreshment or water?

    I posted earlier in the year about giving a little back to the camino in the shape of some trail magic. Well I am heading towards the Burgos area in the next couple of days and looking for a spot to park my campervan up and give out some water, tea/coffee, cookies and shade! I don't want to...

    2nd Camino anxiety and fear I'll compare everything to the first time!

    I am not against walking the same camino twice. Indeed I have but I have also walked other caminos. Summer/winter - it's still the same path so cannot be compared with doing a different one.
  14. long trails

    Got advice? Share it please!

    Be prepared to meet a lot of people who are totally self absorbed and will only talk about themselves. Yes the Camino and it's pilgrims are a just a cross section of society! That's what makes it kind of cool in a way but be prepared to cut these people short if they fail to engage their...

    Booking the day before

    Booking.com is often cheaper than other hotel comparison sites. I'd certainly book more if I could just to ease the bed rush that's becoming the norm on the CF.

    Suggestions for a 14 day Camino Frances

    Porto to Santiago. 14 days is prefect and you can say you've done a full camino rather than part of one.

    2nd Camino anxiety and fear I'll compare everything to the first time!

    Advice for doing a second camino? Choose one you haven't done before.

    Road walking

    I would be more concerned about kamikaze cyclists that will often come right up behind you with no regard.

    Newbie questions

    I did pass them later on and said something, can't remember what exactly but they realised I heard them and that I was familiar with their language.

    Weather

    The weather is so unpredictable now that looking at historical averages is a waste of time
