    Departing ST Jean Thursday 20 Sep.

    Hi Shep, about this time last year I was collapsing in Zubiri. So many memories and a great time of year for it. I saw Aussies at least every second day, so plenty of mates around. Good luck, M !

    The Magical Number Thirty-Three, Plus or Minus Three

    The Camino will tell you how long it will take you after about a week or two. Celebrating your birthday in Santiago sounds like a goal! Good luck !

    Training Tips

    Whatever shoes you are going to wear - start wearing them in now for a May pilgrimage. No need for fancy hiking boots, but its probably a matter of personal choice. I saw so many brand new hiking boots being thrown away in the albergues and pilgrims finishing their walk in crocs, flip flops...

    Advice of how to do Camino De Santiago (for my circumstances)

    Hi RaRa, Good advice above and see my recent thread in biking the Camino on this site where Jenny and others have discussed bike hire, etc. We're all biking in September starting either in St Jean or Pamplona and ending up in Santiago. At this stage bicigrino seems like the best bike hire...

    Hope to see you all along the way, not sure of my start date yet, but it will be sometime in early to mid September. I'll be one of those evil pilgrims on a bike, so I promise to ring my bell and get the first round of drinks at the bar!
