    I’m not suggesting that Brierley wrote the Codex Calixtinus but I’m surprised to read glib comments disrespecting him on this forum. I appreciate anybody’s work helping pilgrims prepare for and walk the Camino. I hope this forum stays friendly.

    I too enjoyed using a Wise Pilgrim book on the Camino Primitivo. But the Brierley books are fantastic and certainly not “babble” and anything that comes after them owes a great deal to the foundations laid by John Brierley.

    Speedgoat is a fantastic name!

    Disc golf on Frances route

    Sorry you've gotten some less than welcoming responses - that's unusual for this forum. I hope you find a way to incorporate disc-golf into your Camino. My guess is if you invited a fellow pilgrim or two to join you after washing up from a long day of walking they would be delighted to learn...

    That’s good news! Given the weather you mention I’m assuming I won’t be able to get away with just a mummy liner and I should take my sleeping bag?

    I've walked in Solomon trail runners, Asolo goretex below ankle and Asolo goretex above ankle. I think this time I'll wear the waterproof above ankle Asolos because I've heard it will be muddy in May on the Primitivo. If you can't find Keen in Jakarta, do they have Merrill? My wife's Merrills...

    One last thought I forgot. Get your son a backpack he absolutely loves - he's going to be spending a lot of time with it. You can share toiletries etc which will cut down on weight and volume. It's amazing how quick it all adds up. I walked from Roncesvalles to Pamplona with a big group...

    That's great - going to a business meeting in Jakarta with a backpack and you meet a fellow prospective pilgrim! My neighbors have definitely seen me walking around the neighborhood with a backpack. 😄 As for size, I walked St. Jean to Logroño, Burgos to Leon, and Sarria to Santiago in...

    Ideally I would be on a stairmaster at the gym that I pay for but don't visit. My preparation was lacking for each of my section trips for the Frances. Usually by the end of eight days of walking I was in pretty good shape to have to go home 😂 . I plan to train more this time but I've said...

    Dian - I’m going to walk the Primitivo in May. I’m a little concerned about all the up and down but lots of research and advice from this forum have encouraged me. Also there is lots of daylight to walk at that time of year so you can take your time, take lots of breaks (it’s a good way to take...

    Can the camino be done in parts?

    Srinivas- it took me four years and six trips to finish the Camino Francés. The worst part was saying goodbye to walking friends every time. You’ll have a great time no matter how you do it. Buen Camino!

    Camino Frances - from Astorga

    Melissa - I covered part of that stretch in January. I'm not sure what will be open in March but between Santa Catalina and Rabanal I was very hungry. First bar on the left as you see Rabanal but haven't gotten to the main part of town I had a coke, a coffee and a great ham and cheese omelette...

    The RENFE train station and the ALSA bus station are on the west side of Leon about 7 km from La Virgen. If you haven't seen Leon it would be a shame to miss it - there's not a lot to see in La Virgen. You may want to check out El Pajar de Oncina nearby - it's one of my favorite albergues so far!

    This one - unfortunately for me it was closed when I passed through a couple of weeks ago.

    Camino Frances from Astorga

    I just got back last week from Leon to Sarria. The albergues in El Acebo and Cacabelos were listed on Aprinca as open but were actually closed so you may want to check better than I did. :eek: Also there was a little frozen moisture on the slate after Riego de Ambros I almost busted on. El...
