  1. Paul Wilson

    Flights to/from Edinburgh

    I suppose when I’m coming home next time I’ll have to travel via Dublin…probably with a lay over…🤣🤣 Guinness it is then 👍

    Flights to/from Edinburgh

    Sorry I’ve just been sent this link and Ryanair are no longer flying the Edinburgh-SDC route 📸 Look at this post on Facebook...
  4. Paul Wilson

    Early flights

    School boy error there Andy, when they call last orders always get a double round it will see you through until nap time 😉 and how civilised is it to have a smoking area in the airport 👍 thanks for sharing your journey again it gives great help to us “overs” (over 50, overweight, over indulger)...

    Uk to Sarria

    I’ve been looking at this recently and the best I’ve found is flight to Madrid then train to Sarria I used Skyscanner to pick my direct flights then Rome2rio for my transfer

    Accommodation in Paris

    I know you can do it fairly easy on the metro but I didn’t see a bus service try Rome 2 Rio website they might have better options
  7. Paul Wilson

    Accommodation in Paris

    That’s what I did, you can get a taxi from the rank at Gare du Nord to Montparnasse if you head to the exit to the right of the station when you come off the platform it has stewards/security who sort the queue don’t worry if it seems long, it moves very quickly Gare du Nord to Montparnasse...

    Accommodation in Paris

    My advice for what it’s worth stay away from Gare du Nord it’s like a scene from the Star Wars cantina around there, I’ve never felt so uncomfortable also Paris taxi drivers are lunatics and will do anything to over charge you. I stayed in the Ibis at Montparnasse (there are 2 close by) very...

    Flying home changes - bus options?

    Thanks for the heads up. Jeez I've just gone through a lot of their reviews and I think I’ll give them a miss, it seems they’re the cheap flights of the bus world. I suppose at worst I’ll be changing trains, I’m thinking Madrid-Barcelona-Paris that was my original fall back anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️ Who...

    Flying home changes - bus options?

    Yes but I travelled from the uk by train and always had Eurostar as my fall back plan, I despise all the extra charges with “cheap” flights now and would rather an honest, if you travel with us here’s the cost…airlines are like, what’s that you’re going to be breathing, sorry that’s extra. I saw...

    Flying home changes - bus options?

    Thank you that is very helpful 👍

    Flying home changes - bus options?

    I did look at the train but it involves so many changes, once I’m sat down I’m a lazy big bugger 🤣
  13. Paul Wilson

    Flying home changes - bus options?

    My flight home has just been amended by Vueling and I now have to transit via Barcelona from SdC it adds time to my arrival in UK (plus I’m not sure of the covid requirements/testing for an internal Spanish flight are) and makes things a bit more difficult does anyone know how reliable the bus...

    Getting to St Jean from St Pancreas

    On your final point I recently discovered that a local in Dover is selling old bicycles to foot passengers so they can still travel the bikes can be scrapped or donated to charity in Calais...now that is a business opportunity 🤣
  15. Paul Wilson

    Getting to St Jean from St Pancreas

    Just checking back in my notes and pre covid trains schedules are as follows (these times are altered at the moment but May revert to normal by July) Eurostar times were: 07:55-11:17 10:24-13:47 12:24-15:47 16:22-19:47 It is then a short taxi ride to Montparnasse trains to Bayonne direct were...

    Getting to St Jean from St Pancreas

    Yes that’s pretty much it 🤣🤣

    Getting to St Jean from St Pancreas

    I’ve been looking at the same journey in September my plan is overnight in Paris then Montparnasse to Bayonne to SJPdP should get you in early evening. Buen camino mi amigo
  18. Paul Wilson

    Eurostar

    I didn’t know about this trail but I had looked at a path from Gare du Nord to Montparnasse after your advice on Paris. I do love walking through a city in the evening I find it reveals more of itself when the commuters and shoppers have gone I think I know my decision now thanks
  19. Paul Wilson

    Eurostar

    Yes I flew to Porto to walk the Portuguese last spring but this Camino is different it represents the end of 30yrs in the fire brigade and new beginnings I have always enjoyed train journeys I find them more relaxing and less blue light so I plan to take my time to reach the start and enjoy each...
  20. Paul Wilson

    Eurostar

    I do love Paris but I would arrive early evening so sadly wouldn’t get much time to enjoy it as I’m planning an extra day in SJPdP before I start to get a chance to see the town
