    What happened to Forum member Alexwalker?

    Welcome back! Glad to hear you are on the mend after such a scary experience. I torn my hip labrum in June, in a conga line at San Bol :) but am determined to go back in April. I think there may be a number of us serial pilgrims who are slowing down and we just might still make a Camino family...

    Taking Students on the Camino, May 2023

    A few years ago I met a group from Franklin Pierce University that had been taking a group annually. They seem to have a great system. If I remember they met up every three days, doled out the money every three days and had guidelines for home many students could/should travel together. They...

    Adult off road buggy

    I am sure that one of the areas you are talking about taking a taxi is the ascent and descent out of Castrojeriz. It is possible to take the bike route around. It is about 3km longer but mostly flat.

    Adult off road buggy

    I have been part of a team pushing/pulling a young man in a trekking chair, 2019 & 2022. At a minimum we needed two people at a time and when going up and down hills we used up to 6 people. No matter how strong one person is, they can’t possibly keep the chair from becoming a run away train. Do...

    Starting The Camino Frances April 2, 2022

    Congratulations!! Will Auberge Borda bring you back to the Valcarlos route if the Napoleon is still closed?

    First time on the Camino in April 2022

    Congratulations! I have started two of Camino’s on April 14. It is a beautiful time of year to go. You will need to be flexible as to your route as it’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to take the Napoleon route in early April. The Valcarlos route is historic and nice too. On both my...

    Family Camino Guidelines

    You, including your daughter sound very well trained and I suspect you will walk the average 20-24km that most people walk. I doubt you will want more than a couple of days off and a couple of short days. It is likely that you will make many friends and enjoy seeing them, but will loose everyone...

    First timer from Oregon starting the CF (Pamplona) on Sept. 11, 2021

    Possibly we will see you. I am returning (4th Frances) with a Camino family member from 2018 who was injured after Cruz de Fero. We will be starting in Astorga so she can complete her Camino. We will start on Oct 9. Depending on how fast you go, and rest days you should be in the vicinity. Buen...

    Just booked- Sept 2021 Frances- with modifications

    It sounds like you have already started your Camino....letting go of expectations. I think it's wonderful to start early on the Frances and just stop when you need to. I highly suggest you stay with the Frances as the options for stopping (not so much on some of the other routes) will not tie...

    Help finding the best route please.

    Unfortunately 150km doesn't put you in a city large enough to have a train. You could possibly take a bus or taxi. If you could possibly walk around 250km you could start in Astorga a wonderful town. This would allow you to experience both Cruz de Fero and O'Cebrerio (both climbs but well worth...

    Camino Frances in August/Sept

    My recommendation is that you start later on the Camino so you won't have to take a bus. One of the most important parts of all my Camino's was the family I made. If you skip a section you will have to leave them all behind and start over ebbing and flowing with familiar faces. I have had a...

    March 2019 Arrival

    While April 1st is the first possible day that the Napoleon route will be open, it will only be open weather permitting. I walked in April 2016 and 2018 and the route was not open until mid-April and then closed again due to inclement weather. The pilgrim office will be able to advise you. You...

    First time pilgrimage

    Welcome Marie. I am starting the same day. Staying in Bellari on the 13th and hopefully Orisson on the 14th (weather permitting.) This is my third Camino Frances but I am just as excited as the first. Hope to see you on the trail. Buen Camino.

    Starting Camino Frances...

    I am starting in SJPdP on April 14th (weather permitting), so I should just be a day behind you. We will probably slinky along. See you on the trail.

    León to SdC in May 2018

    I should be leaving Leon about May the 9th, starting from SJPdP on April 14. See you on the trail.

    Final ~115km: Sarria, 6 April

    Check the weather for early April. I think you may find it may be too cool for shorts and t-shirt and you will certainly want to have some rain gear.

    Friday the 13 of April

    Weather permitting I will be walking the Napoleon route and staying at Orisson on the 14th also. See you there.

    Friday the 13 of April

    I think I will be in Estella on the 19th or 20th. I'm sure our paths with cross as we slinky along.

    Friday the 13 of April

    I will be right behind you; starting my 3rd Camino solo, leaving SJPdP on April 14th. There will be plenty of pilgrims starting with you. Just know that it is possible that the Napoleon Route will not be open yet. I started the same day two years ago and it was the first day it was open. This...
