    5th time on the Camino Frances April 2015

    Nuala, coming from a hillwalking background, my typical 35/ 40 km days are not all that impressive, for non- regular walkers repeated days of 20 kms are a far bigger achievement and physical challenge and I readily and hugely admire those I see daily when on the camino who are dressing badly...

    5th time on the Camino Frances April 2015

    Well Anne, even if our paths diverge early after St. Jean, we can at least enjoy a coffee and bite to eat in St Jean on the Thursday evening if you want a teasing whiff of cigar smoke. See you at some point in Dublin Airport on the 23rd. Seamus

    5th time on the Camino Frances April 2015

    Flying into Biarritz from Dublin on Thursday 23rd May and leaving St Jean on Friday 24th for my 5th time on the C.F. and hopefully my 2nd time to go from St Jean to Finisterre in one single trip. Managed it in 24 days in 2013 and hoping for 26 days this time. I'll be the slightly overweight...

    Anyone starting from SJPdP on 23 April 2015

    Fiona, I'll be bringing a mid weight Berghaus ( Gore-tex ) rain jacket, will double up on cold evenings on the meseta for walking around in and a micro-fleece top for light showery days, it's always a compromise but c'est la vie. Seamus

    Anyone starting from SJPdP on 23 April 2015

    Fiona, just a little word to the wise, 2 years ago at the end of May when I 1st walked the Route Napoleon, the temperature after Thibault Cross went below freezing and there was heavy snow on the ground so be prepared for the worst but hope for the best weatherwise. Seamus

    Anyone starting from SJPdP on 23 April 2015

    Hi Fiona, arriving in St Jean on the 23rd and walking on 24th but aiming to reach Burguete on day 1 so likely we may meet, I'll be the Irishman smoking cigarillos while trying to pretend 40 km days are easy. ;-)

    New member very excited

    Hi Steve, welcome to the forum, if you're able to manage The Cuillinns on Skye, you won't have any fitness problems coping with the camino, I use my hill walking in Ireland for my core fitness and gradually increase the duration/ difficulty in the 8 weeks before a camino but also try to include...

    Class of 2015

    Flight booked from Dublin to Biarritz for April 23rd 2015, this will be my 4th time on Camino and 2nd time from St Jean, spent 24 days in 2013 going from St Jean to Finisterre but this time I think I'll punish myself a little less for my sinful life and aim for about 28 days to Santiago. In case...

    hi everyone walking my 1st calmino beginning 15th july need help

    Being a little out of your comfort zone is what makes it an experience to remember. My 1st camino I was very apprehensive about things like ordering food etc as I only had about 20 words of Spanish but my concerns were ungrounded. English is the lingua franca of the camino. Try not to have huge...
