    Le puy to Nasbinall

    I had no problems walking this route alone and have not heard of any other women who did either.

    Favorite gites (private and municipal) Le Puy to SJPP???

    I second that.. Andre and Odile dressed my blisters and helped me to book my accommodation for the next evening when I had failed. Theirs is one of the gites I remember very fondly. Kay (NZ)

    Le Puy and on to the VDLP

    I've done the CF in 34 and 36 days and recently walked from Le Puy en Velay to SJPP in 35 (I actually took 37 but had 2 rest days in the middle). The early days of the Le Puy route did have quite a few ups and downs, although as I walked through some holiday weekends I often ended up walking a...

    How busy?

    I stayed at Le Falzet on my third day out from Le Puy in early June of this year. Mr and Mme Delcros have a small (only 7 places) gite http://www.chemindecompostelle.com/delcros/index.html only 11 k after Saugues which is located above their cheese factory and part of their farm. It was a...

    Camping

    Hi Kulinarikila.. I haven't but noticed that this blog http://walkinginfrance.info/?page_id=3916 had quite a bit of helpful information about camping along the Le Puy route. Kay

    Miam Miam Dodo guide

    You are right Kitsambler.. in fact the phone actually weighs MORE than the paper version of the guide (at least the old 2006 version that I have been lent) but on the other hand I am taking a phone anyway so it was an unexpected bonus to find that as well as Alison Raju's guide, I could download...

    Miam Miam Dodo guide

    Hi Roncarlien I will be starting out in 10 days. I had planned to wait until I got to le Puy to get my MMDD but changed my mind and ordered it online. I am glad I did as my French is not great and it has has been helpful having time to get a bit of help translating the trickier bits. I have...

    Le Puy gite confusion

    I am getting ready to leave for Le Puy in another month and am wanting to make a booking for a gite in Le Puy itself for my first night. I am looking for somewhere I can book ahead by email. I have read in several blogs that there is a Gite next door to the cathedral, Gite d' Etape Maison...

    Looking for some information

    Hi Haloranch I am also looking for an answer to this so will be interested in any answers you get. I will be leaving Le Puy in late May and am currently looking at TravelSim http://www.travelsim.com/.. this seems to be available in quite a number of countries around the world and is advertised...

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    How wonderful to arrive in Santiago for the July the 25th Ange..that must have been quite an experience. I am at quite an early stage in my planning so am not yet sure exactly what I will be able to do but I will PM you my dates in case we are able to meet up. The offer of a night's...

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    Thanks Frood.. that is a great summary. And thanks everyone for your support.. I have now booked my plane tickets to start at Le Puy in the last days of May and finish at SJPP in early July. Having angsted over the decision I now feel perfectly calm again and am enjoying reading blogs, walking...

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    Thanks Newfydog.. err.. what is a chambre d'hote?.. and how does it compare pricewise with gites? NZ dollars don't go far! Kay

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    What a mine of information and reassurance you all are!I don't think that my previous caminos would have been possible without the kindness of people via the internet. I have just had a long phone conversation with KiwiNomad that has set my mind rest about a number of factors. No one can...

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    Thanks everyone.. it is just good to get a second opinion before I commit to my air tickets as the early bird fares close in the next couple of days. I am still a little worried about heat but unfortunately my only options for 2011 are June/July or Sept /October (and the Rugby world cup then...

    Just seeking some reassurance!

    Hi everyone I have just got permision from my job to take leave from about 30 May to about 15 July next year (2011) so that I can walk from Le Puy to SJPP. I had initially planned to spend about 18 months carefully pondering all the options and training but once I started planning, the lure...

    Gluten free eating

    My daughter who is gluten free walked the camino a few years ago and for part of it was walking with a couple of pilgrims who were also gluten free. They all found that they could eat small amounts of wheat without any problems. That was until one of them was injured and they had to stop walking...
