    Starting Friday (Apr 8, 2022)

    I did this one three years ago now, really enjoyed it. First day from Irun, massive thunder storms, warning signs about taking the high route. Danger of electrocution. Some great Albergues. Late May, not many pilgrims often I was the only one in the Albergue. Never booked ahead. Enjoyed the...

    Best way to get to Irun

    Last year I flew into Bilbao then bus to San Sebastian then local tiny train into Irun, On-line timetables worked perfectly. Good Luck

    Weather conditions now in June ??

    I left Irun on 5th June to full down pours of rain, the section for alpinists, forget it, could not see 50 metres. And thunder! Since then, days of drizzle, usually some 30c sun. I am just managing with bag liner, light weight sleeping bag would have been better. Having good days of weather and...

    Injured toe

    Oops, erupted again. Pus again so had to visit local doctor to get antibiotics. Four days later now and it seems to have settled down. Three days before my Camino starts so no chance to build mileage up. Buen Camino.

    Camino Norte June

    Hi Daniel, I am also starting from Irun on June 5th after arriving in Bilbao on the 4th. I got my passport from this forum although the albergue should have them., I have only booked accommodation ahead in San Sebastian so I am hoping to get a bed in albergues along the route. I have on my phone...

    Injured toe

    Thanks for the concern all of you. I took myself to the local emergency centre, I have slight damage to the tissue next to the nail-bed. It was cleaned out and dressed. I will be fine in a couple of days. No antibiotics needed. regards

    Injured toe

    I have been planning to start my Norte and Primitivo Camino on June 5th. But I somehow kicked a door with my next to little toe and did it hurt. (It really did!) The toe swelled straight away and I self diagnosed a fracture. Three days later and what I thought was a pressure ridge on the swollen...

    Silk Sleeper Mummy Optimistic? - Route Info Advice?

    As another newbie (previous Camino’s have been with accommodation booked) is it acceptable to telephone ahead, on the day, to get details about albergue occupancy (or even book ahead). I’m starting from Irun on June 5 this year so watch out for me!

    May 2018 Norte

    European Rugby Finals! A good idea to combine rugby and the walk. I am tempted, but I had the idea to start the beginning of June. I did the Lisbon to Santiago pilgrimage this year, the easy way with accommodation booked for me, My Norte will be my first Camino that I have to find food and a...
