    Hi

    I already did Le Puy to Pamplona this May and June so I have most of my stuff already. I used a Snugpak travellers sleeping bag with a silk inner sheet liner bag and was toasty warm. The sleeping bag was 700 gr and the liner about 100 gr. I'll be taking them again. I'm hoping that April in...

    Hello all

    Hi again Re tea-bags - I mainly walked in France and there were always well-equipped kitchens in the 'refugios' ('gites' in France) and lots of people cooked/ate their own food in the evenings (a good option if you want to get through France cheaply or you are vegetarian). I only stayed...

    Hello all

    Hi Belinda Best wishes for your camino. This is just to say that I used those mesh bags on our walk through France earlier this year and was very pleased with them. They don't rustle and they allow anything slightly damp to dry out. I customised mine beforehand so that they exactly...

    Starting my (mental) journey

    Hi Margaret We just did Le Puy to Pamplona. It was incredibly wet and muddy this year - I think it was only the last day into Pamplona when we didn't arrive at our destination covered in mud. The stated time to do it is officially given as 4-5 weeks but we took eight! And I wouldn't have...

    Starting my (mental) journey

    Don't be put off CB either by your age or anything else. I'm 64 and have never been 'fit' or 'sporty' but I did some preparatory walks with my local group - 10 to 15 km - which was good for my confidence. On the route I carefully didn't try to walk too far and laughed off the sneers of other...

    Travel Insurance

    We've got a travel insurance which covers the two of us for ninety days on a 'sport', (i.e. walking) holiday trip. http://www.simpletravelinsurance.co.uk/ They classify the sports according to degree of danger and walking comes in category one and doesn't incur any additional charges to...

    Latest update on the Camino to Fisterra

    Thanks - I'm thinking of doing this one after we reach Santiago - shame about the fires - but still perhaps by July things will be looking a bit better?

    Le Puy to Pamplona May, June, Camino Ingles in July.

    Thanks Kevin. I have the Raju book and will try and do lots more research on the web, etc. first. How did you find the VDLP? If this year goes well, I shall try that one next time. I fancy starting from Seville (or even Granada) in April - because I don't fancy walking across the...

    Le Puy to Pamplona May, June, Camino Ingles in July.

    I'm hoping to do Le Puy to Pamplona in May and June and then take a bus/train to El Ferrol and walk the "short" 100K or so to Santiago in July. Probably - but not definitely - being accompanied by my daughter and then being joined by our respective partners in July for the last bit...

    Walking from England

    From England I can't help with any experiences I'm afraid but I would also like to do this - walking from Newcastle out along Hadrian's wall and down the Pennine Way. That then seems to connect up with various other routes down to the coast. However, I'm not doing it just yet. Planning a...
