    Guide App

    I am doing the Frances again this year and rather than carry a guide book I am looking for an app with similar info the Brierley/Yellow book etc. I seem to remember that one was launched (via Ivar?) a year or two ago maybe from this site. Does anyone have any info on this? as well as opinion...

    Pau to Obanos in October

    Hi Peregrinos, I am planning to do the CF again (have become an addict) but starting from Pau and going over at Somport before joining the CF proper at Obanos. If any of you have done this in the first half of October it would helpful for any advice in particular re accommodation at that time...

    Just Finished The Camino Frances St Jean To Santiago Some Thoughts

    Congratulations, Tony, it looks as though you have received one of the greatest gifts that the camino can bestow: that of seeing life as it actually is. The fog of fantasy, assumption, prejudice and judgementalism has been rubbed from your eyes it seems and it is obviously quite a shock, as it...

    Can I do this??

    Hi Kerry, remember we met in security at Stansted on the way out - seems like a century ago. Great that you are going on and enjoying it - I thought you would. As I told you I only had 3 weeks and had to finish at Leon the 20th but it was a wonderful experience for me and even better than my...

    what the Camino gave you

    As always mspath (Margaret) you get it absolutely right and beautifully put. There is nothing to be added. Thanks so much and I am taking a copy of it of my upcoming but sadly much reduced (due to problems this end) camino. For your next journey 'buen camino'.

    Getting to Ostabat

    Having to curtail the start of my camino to SDC in a couple of weeks time so want to begin at Ostabat as opposed to further into France. Does anybody know how to get there from Bayonne rail station? Don't think there is a rail line but a bus maybe? Thanks in anticipation. Richeyboy.

    post camino decompression--how to handle it?

    When I was doing the Camino Frances 2 years ago a fellow pilgrim said he had heard that it would take 2 years for its effect to work through. That is what I have found and I don't think it has finished yet. It is a very powerful experience so it is not surprising that it affects pilgrims in...

    does everyone think....

    :? Your'e right, Tyrrek, you just walk up the main road and then turn left along a quieter one. The trouble is that you have to find the correct main road first and when I did it the signs were 'iffy' but that could have been me not paying attention. Also I had a guide book with no sense of...

    Death of Pilgrim

    I have just read in an English newspaper of the death on 17th April of a pilgrim called Nicholas Oliver Burridge in Santiago having walked the camino. His wife had predeceased him but he was amongst other things a great grand father. Just thought I would tell you all so that those who want...

    My experience

    You are right, Pieces, they don't need my pity and I shouldn't have used that word. What I should have said was that I met several singletons last Autumn who had originally done the camino in a group and wanted to try it on their own and were finding the experience deeply liberating. So...

    My experience

    Like you I walked alone, last autumn all the way from SJPP and for me it was brilliant. However, it sounds as though you had a hard time but who said it should be easy? I wonder if you smiled and laughed enough; it is irrestible to others and helps to make friends so easily. Why did you want...

    anyone else have a problem with Burgos Cathedral Plaza?

    I have been to Burgos several times and once on the camino last autumn. I love the Cathedral and have no problem with El Cid, the new museum on the development of mankind is also great. But I did get a negative feeling, not overwhelming but persistent nevertheless and I still feel it, about the...

    Alternative Routes to Santiago on Camino Frances

    Hi, I am planning to do the Camino Frances, at last, this coming autumn. It seems that the last 100ks or so can be very crowded even in the second half of October so I am wondering if there are any alternative routes from Sarria or further back say from Ponferrada to Santiago which do not...

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    Well done gregdeman for exposing, at last, the elephant in the room. And now that we can talk about it we can also start to deal with the issues raised because unless we do the situation can only get worse. Setting a personal example always helps. So we must all carry our own rubbish with us...

Coming from England will easier to adjust dates than you I...
