    Rain! rain Rain!

    You obviously haven't worn a Packa rain jacket! I have walked for over a week on the Via de la Plata in pouring rain and the only things that got wet were my legs and sandals-n-socks. Shorts, shirt, backpack were completely dry.

    Hello! Newbie here!

    Hi Maggie You're going to have a blast! Our family has walked with my father-in-law (the kids' Grandpa) a few times, most recently as he was approaching 90. These are very special memories now that his mobility has suddenly diminished in the last two years. But he will be my biggest supporter...

    Start April 10, 2024

    Hi @LeahB and Angela....Rachael from Across The Ditch here. I'm starting from Pamplona a week before you, but I'm going very slowly and also spending a week in a monastery after my day five, so you're bound to catch me up. I'll say G'day if I see you!

    Camino Documentary

    What an interesting sounding bloke. Would have loved to hear him, but unfortunately my dates don't coincide with his.

    When to purchase tickets for a Sep-Oct walk?

    Similar to @C clearly, I bought my latest ticket and then there was a big sale and I could have saved $500. I'm not giving it any thought either!!

    When to purchase tickets for a Sep-Oct walk?

    In case you think @C clearly is joking, let me assure you she is not! Many seasoned experts have spreadsheets of routes on their computers so all info is at their fingertips and they can pounce on a good fare when they happen to stumble across one (an occurrence which is highly likely given the...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome to the recidivist club!

    We come from a land down under

    Welcome and what an ambitious adventure you have planned. It sounds wonderful. By the time you've got towards the end of your time in France you may well be deciding you really do want to do that Somport route and there's nothing stopping you! You'll probably have enough time to do that and then...

    The Camino Goose Game?

    And remember you can go and see the Plaza del Juego de la Oca in Logrono, where a version of the board game is painted onto the ground. Photos of it look underwhelming, but it might be of interest to you!

    The Camino Goose Game?

    This one? https://www.ideasperegrinas.es/en/producto/the-goose-game-and-ludo-of-the-camino-de-santiago/ There’s also across stitch pattern available if you want to make your own (I intend to make mine when I eventually do the Francés)

    May your recovery take a very long time....most of us don't want to recover!

    Hello! First Camino April/May

    There are no bad choices! By the way, Madrid-Salvador-Primitivo is NOT messy. But you might find the Madrid to be too quiet.

    Framed Compostela

    Could you use your credencials and compostelas as feature "wallpaper" in your new home? Like, @peregrina2000 , our stamps are fading too, but given that I just threw mine on a thrifted picture, it's not surprising. The watercolour was gifted to me by a forum member, which makes it very special.

    Camino in late March for two weeks with two 11 yr olds

    I’ve not walked at Easter so don’t know for certain. Municipal albergues cannot be booked and I wonder if you did short enough days to be at the beginning of the queue, you might be fine - but someone who knows more than me might be able to advise otherwise.

    Camino in late March for two weeks with two 11 yr olds

    Totally understand this. In fact, our first camino was from Astorga! We didn't yet know if we liked day-after-day walking. Turned out we did! I would be inclined to ask the kids what THEIR preference is and reasons why to see if you can all land on a solution that works for all of you.
