Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
Thank you Giorgio! Great info. I am currently laying out various routes with mileage and time (days) so that I can have a good idea of any potential Schengen issue. My latest version that I've mapped out gets me to Rome in approximately 85 days from Calais. Once in Rome I could head east to the...- John R McLean

Wow! Thank you so much for the Duolingo tip! I've been using it everyday since and I really love it! What a great app. Once I gain some confidence I'll be looking at one of the local night classes to help gain more vocabulary and a place to use it!- John R McLean

Love it! I got so many options on the table. Today I contacted a lawyer to get the ball rolling in my UK passport. They will let me know if I am indeed eligible. That would make things sooooooo much easier.- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
To read: Try to get a copy of Ben Nimmo's book "Pilgrim Snail", he walked, long time ago, from Canterbury to Santiago with a trombone to raise money for charity. It is not only a great read, but also full of insights and some practical gems. It is out of print, but you might be able to pick up a...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
I'll be searching for that book today! I have a very ultra light one man tent that I bought specifically for a one month ramble around the Isle of Mull a few years back which seemingly would be my go to shelter but I'm intrigued by the bivy option. That romantic, "under the stars" drop anyway...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
Yes, options like these are being laid out just in case I can't get things sorted to allow my to through hike the whole way in one go. I have very close relatives in the UK so that is a real option for a 90 day break. I could also fly out to another part of the world to ramble for the 90. Not...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a helpful reply. I have lists upon lists of things to complete, which include language skills, gear comparisons and dicision analysis such as bivy vs tent! I have over a year to organize and fine tune my route and the "legalities" but it will...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
My goal is to arrive in Casablanca via Santiago and or Rome. I have 1 year laid out to complete it. Once my route is set, I will then apply rest days to the calendar and see how it shakes out.- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
No worries! Well seeing as we are Canadians there happens to be a little pain in the butt called "Schengen" which means legally we can only stay 90 days in 180 day period. In the Schengen zone (UK is not included) This is not great for us backpackers wanting to just land and keep walking. There...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
Why Via Francigena? Well... I'm actually starting on the Isle of Iona and crossing Scotland, then down through England to Calais, not a real direct route for sure. I was originally looking at going from Calais to Amsterdam and through Germany to Prague but after reading Roger's blog I decided to...- John R McLean

Le Puy or Arles via the Via Francigena?
Planning is progressing! After reading Rogers blog, it looks like the Via Francigena from Calais but it poses three new options. 1) Turn right at Geneva to Le Puy route? 2) Go over the St Bernard Pass and carry on to Rome and beyond? 3) Go over the pass and turn right to Arles route? Arles vs Le...- John R McLean
