loosing my confidence
Headed West by RobertS26 posted May 6, 2014 at 8:48 AM Here is a typical scene from the Camino. You are alone in the sense that you can walk literally by yourself, but you are not alone in the sense that there is literally people every where.- RobertS26

1st Camino looking for flight information
People who have only flown into Madrid to get to SJPP will tell you that Madrid is the only way to go. People who have only flown into Paris to get to SJPP will tell you that Paris the only way to go. I've flown into both to get to SJPP. I much greatly prefer making my way to SJPP from Paris...- RobertS26

Woman walking Camino for first time starting March 29th 2015
First time pilgrims pack about 5 pounds of fear in their backpacks by taking things they think they might need. You should only pack those things you will absolutely need without a doubt every day. If you leave something at home that you end up needing you can buy it along the way. Spain is...- RobertS26

anxiously waiting to get started
Given how the wet weather comes off the Bay of Biscay and unpredictably slams into the Pyrenees just west of SJPP, one of the following will almost certainly occur in early June: (1) snow, (2) rain, (3) fog, or (4) glorious blue skies that are picture perfect. And regardless of the weather you...- RobertS26

First timer from Cali starting March 6th 2015
You have a couple of choices depending on when you arrive in Pamplona. If you arrive in the evening, I'd get a hotel near the bus station. I prefer staying at the Hotel Yoldi. It's only a couple of blocks from the bus station. It's in a totally safe neighborhood, pilgrim friendly, has an...- RobertS26

Newbie
1. Get properly fitted for your backpack by a professional. Do not buy a backpack because a friend bought the exact same backpack. That's like buying a pair of shoes in your friend's size and hoping they fit your feet. 2. Get properly fitted for your boots by a professional. And break them...- RobertS26

3 Days Before I Start!
1. Don't be scared. There is truly nothing to fear on the Camino. 2. Don't worry about not speaking French and or Spanish. You are not the first person to walk Camino with limited Spanish and French. You will quickly pick up the few words you need. Also, English is a common language on...- RobertS26

Camino Francés June 2014
Nagoya, 1977. Ignited my desire to see the world.

Then I walked the Camino and realized that I had been...- RobertS26

First time walker says hi!
Pack light--almost everything you think you might need can be bought in Spain. Once there, go with the flow. Be open doing things on a whim. When in doubt, ask others--many of those around you have walked before and will be more than happy to answer any questions. Listen to your body. If...- RobertS26

Flights booked - woo-hoo!
The three most important things you can do in the next six months are: (1) get properly fitted for backpack by a trained specialist. An ill fitting backpack can cause substantial pain and even permanent injury. Picking a backpack because of it's color or because somebody else (who is a...- RobertS26
