    Walking with teens in 2021

    Hi Jessie... It's going to be crowded... but enjoy! In April this year, we had a group of 6: myself, Mrs. Beeks, our 3 kids (boys 18 and 16, daughter, 11) and my mother-in-law. Mrs. Beeks AND her mom over-packed. We walked from St.Jean to Pamplona, then took the train to Sarria and walked...

    St Jean to Roncesvalles One Day or Two?

    As an eager beaver, I had contacted Refuge Orisson in the summertime about reservations for early April 2019. I received a reply the same day to contact them after November 15. On November 2nd, I recalled, "didn't they say to contact them in November?" (I couldn't find my original email). So...

    Kiwi... We considered that... however, our current schedule has us arriving in SDC on Saturday April 20, and the following day celebrating Easter in SDC. Seems the lighthouses are going to wait until a full camino after I retire in a few years!

    Dave... Wise words from a fellow back surgery veteran... She walks a lot... She says "We were covering lots of miles in Europe, I'll be fine." I told her this is a much different style of walking, much more intense. She really wants to do this, for a variety of reasons. She may even walk...
