    Top tips from Frances veterans?

    Although a slightly cynical view of the Camino, Maxwell4334 does raise an important point in that the Frances is probably the world's busiest footpath, and particularly so this year with increased interest in pilgrimages, pent up demand from the global pandemic and Holy Year as well. Just don't...

    Top tips from Frances veterans?

    FWIW, my 2 pieces of advice would be: 1) Enjoy it, warts and all. It may not always be pleasurable, beautiful or without pain or problem, but take it in your stride, don't fret, and "go with the flow". 2) However you decide to do your pilgrimage, do not be made to feel "less of a pilgrim" if...

    Prague to Geneva

    It's perhaps not much in the way of help, but it looks to me like a more southerly route (S Germany or Austria) would take in more mountainous ground, while a northern route through Germany may be flatter. We came across Via Jokobi signs in Austria near Seefeld - beautiful terrain, but would...

    Walking from UK to Santiago

    Nice route. I believe there is also The Old Way between Winchester and Canterbury, or similar, but it's lovely countryside whichever way you choose. I suppose I was primarily thinking about a cross-France route, and also what motivations people used for route-building, when posing my question...

    Bored walking

    I think that depends a bit on your own personal reasons for going on Pilgrimage, and what you personally expect to get out if it. Whether, in fact, you want to go on pilgrimage or simply a walking holiday? For me, the joys of a Camino are seeing places, meeting people, crossing the landscape...

    Walking from UK to Santiago

    Has anyone out there walked all the way from the UK to Santiago? I appreciate we need to cross the channel, but apart from that .... I know people have done this, and it is something I have at the back of my mind when I retire from work, but what I was mainly wondering is, of those who have...
