    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Yes we walked the whole way, but in order to meet up with others, we first walked from Saltery Bay to Mt. Troubridge, and then drove to Powell River and Lund and took the boat to start at Sarah's Point. It was a beautiful hike, though tough in some areas! So I've got several bookings over my...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Hello Cecelia, Thanks for the update and advice! Yes I'm content with my change of plans but didn't realize I would be needing to book accomodation as much as I am. I knew over Easter I would definitely need to reserve but I'm finding that well past Easter places are filling up fast! Especially...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Hi fellow BC'er! Thanks for the recommendations!! I've been looking for fleece at thrift stores that can be left behind once not needed. Thats a great idea about making a light fleece vest. I sew so that might work. Yes, wet feet are not good, though of course it happens often, and since I'm...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Again I want to thank everyone for their help and input into my decision making last month. I feel that I need to update folks on my plans now. After much internal debate, frustration, as well as excitement, I have decided to go with plan B, which after much consideration will be the VDLP...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thank you. I will be posting on here about my trip for sure. I better take notes this time as it's crazy how soon you forget where certain things were, etc. I see you've hiked from Toledo... how was that Camino? I was also toying around with walking from Madrid or Toledo as Plan B in case the...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks for replying Cecelia! I am totally expecting it all, snow, rain and mud, but hopefully some sunny skies as well. I hope you do get a chance to walk it again.

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks for replying John. Yes I very much read that the first part shouldn't be missed. I will decide closer to my start date whether to push through or transport for some of the Aubrac depending on the weather forecast.

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    thank you... I think I will just stay with my MMD and maybe an online guide for interest.

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    I'm the same re: having a physical copy with me. I will download a different online guide/book later on, once I get everything not needed off my phone;)

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Yes I only have Vol 1 and the cele route, so am hoping to pick up volume to in Le Puy or later along the way. Thanks.

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks for replying:) I think I"m resigned to getting wet and am used to the mud from the early part of the Frances in April. I'll be trying hard to improve my French to prepare! I already have the Miam Miam Dodo .. do you think I need another guide?

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Yes I was used to getting wet trail shoes and socks on the Frances, and just dried them as best as I could for the next day. I brought several socks to change into.Thanks:)

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks, I'll be bringing along my Altus that I used on the Frances, though I'll have to fix some of the seam reinforcements. I did experience a couple cold days not the Frances mid april, with likely similar potential of the aubrac, though not as high. There were only rock piles to duck...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Yes, I live now in the interior of BC where it's dry, but grew up in Vancouver so was used to lots of rain. I don't love it, but can handle it:) I think having the possibility of transport if things get bad eases my mind. Thanks for replying!

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks for replying. I am so happy to be getting all these responses. I was thinking of tagging along with some others on that part if the weather is inclement. I gathered from others posts that most people start walking around the same time, after breakfast, as opposed to the Frances where...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thank you for your reply. Did you bring gaiters then? I know I'll need more clothing than normal for this time of year but don't want to bring unnecessary items.

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Thanks once again Jenny! Yes I think I will vary the first week with some shorter, say 15km stretches among some longer ones. I was worried that if I booked a gite, that I'd be committed to that one, but if I gave enough notice it's ok to cancel? Not that I would be doing that routinely, but...

    Hiking from LePuy in April. Advice needed!

    Ok that's what I was hoping to hear... I will definitely be listening to the locals opinions once I get there. I so appreciate you and others piping in on my concerns. One last question...in trying to reserve ahead at least for the first week, I was thinking of walking shorter stages, say 15km...
