    Thanks johnMcM for the hydration tips and the app suggested, as you gave great advice can I ask, did you encounter many rogue dogs on your Camino that made you feel uneasy? And I’ve gave myself an extra day in Salamanca for the very reason you suggested. Thanks Nicky QUOTE="JohnMcM, post...

    Vdlp in April 2020

    Thanks John, useful information regarding the vdlp, I’m certainly not fluent in my Spanish but I know I’ll get by and the more the need to speak it the more I’ll improve. Not looking forward to the sticky mud but in hardships we grow so I’m also looking forward to the challenges ahead. I was...

    Vdlp in April 2020

    Thanks camino07, I’m trying to work out the benefits of possibly taking an umbrella, for shade and for waterproofing... it’s a journey I’m really excited about making too, I’m hoping that there’ll be more solitude that was absent on the Frances. I appreciate your tips on the water bottles. Many...

    Bradypus thanks for the input, I’m realising now that it’ll be completely different from the Frances and that I’ll need to be critical with my planning, thank you.

    Vdlp in April 2020

    thanks for the response omar504, I agree, my thoughts were that the weather will no doubt be unpredictable, I have read some responses on the forum that stated fairly hot weather in early spring so I guess I was wondering if this could be confirmed . Thanks for your input!

    Winter camino

    Thanks Raggy for the link and advice, it seems a common thread that it’s more planning required than the CF due to less availability with accommodation but it’ll keep me on my toes..... Thanks again Nicky

    Winter camino

    That’ll be cool Simon B, I’m just hoping it’s not too cold that my water reservoir freezes but from what you write I should be ok! It’s really not the weather that is my main concern it’s the albergue availability, how’s your research on that going? Nicky

    Winter camino

    LTfit, thanks for your reply.....Yep The Camino definitely connects... it’s lovely to hear that many albergues will be open as this did concern me a little, I was planning the Norte originally but the accommodation was very difficult . I’m really happy with what you’ve written and it’s helped to...
