    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    All the discussion and 'voting' becomes irrelevant with this new information !? 26 days is way to short to enjoy your walk 🤪 Skip some distance.... Start Logrono, Burgos? Good luck 🤞 Bien Camino 🍀

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    If it is your first time and you want the whole 'Way' I would definitely start in SJpdP. Rain is rain everywhere, but wind and rain high up can be more dangerous! Then switch to plan B Valcarlos. Protect your upper body and lower body for the cold rain...your feet and shoes will dry overnight...

    Lessons learned after 900 km on the Camino

    There are different qualities in Merino. Icebreaker is for me the best. I have a Jack Wolfskin longsleave t-shirt and that is itchy (laying in the closet now). Try before you buy 😉

    Show Up; Get Bed?

    @Dorpie he is talking for a certain day and time. So he knows well what walking time he needs. I'm not talking about the whole Camino. At the end of the day at that time...you walked a lot or have a slow pace, you will be tired. Finding something in that spirit is not easy. We are asumming he...

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    I concur with @Karl Oz. You will only know what works well when you did it, that means also you can do this before departure during your training. And you should! You always can change your shoes, clothing, backpack, etc. I wore always waterproof boots and I read on this wonderful forum that it...

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    @Bert45 when it is a hard day that means perhaps that you didn't have enough training 🙃

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    Hello, I prefer merino wool t-shirts (Icebreaker) as my basic layer. Cool when hot en hot when cool. I did the Inglés this year (June) with Hoka One One Bondi 6 running shoes without any problem. It is as if you walk on clouds (soft cushioning), but stable. Drying quick too. I bought the Altra...

    Four more days until SdC - and no motivation anymore to continue ...

    I'm reading this forum since 2015 and walked my first Camino last week and I don't think that you have to under estimate a short or long walk. It is physical demanding and the things and feelings that happen (magic) are there to experience in the little things. I don't think that the shared...

    Four more days until SdC - and no motivation anymore to continue ...

    I only did the Camino Inglés a few weeks ago with a colleague and we didn't like the last day because we knew it would end. It gives a double feeling, finished and accomplishment. We looked for alternative roads all the time. Mixed feelings, going home to the 'real live'... It eats at you and...

    Roads v Paths

    I would start in SJPdP if you intend to walk the complete Francés in multiple times and you don't need a Compostela right away 😊 Just my 2 pence thinking 😉 Buen Camino 👣
