    Reflections on the Le Puy

    Hi Relrog thank you for sharing your experience. It's a route I'll be joining soon. Am I right in understanding that you walked from Le Puy to SJPP (or possibly an alternative french end point but not on to SDC?) this time- perhaps with the intent of returning to complete your pilgrimage to...

    Starting from Le Puy day after Ascension Day

    Completely off topic sorry but I have the fondest memories of Paray-le-Monial a lovely Romanesque church with or least it did have, if memory serves me right (it was over 35 years ago!), a pretty funky ecclesiastical jukebox you put your money in and picked your hymn of choice! Years later I...

    Geneva - Le Puy - SJPP - Santiago de Compostela - Muxia/Finisterre! Is my schedule reasonable?

    Hi Caminovida, What time of year are you planning on walking? Season is a critical factor for me so March, April to 1st week of May then Oct through Nov are the months I walk-with the climatic beauty and challenges those months bring. These are also the more solitary months and that brings me...

    Camino difficulty

    Hi Biloute, It seems that basically your mom think's its a fantastic idea. But she would feel even better if you had a little more hard data.....and by joining the forum you've not only started that process but in a way that will get you more info from a greater variety of pilgrims than speaking...

    What's the best map for an overview of the Le Puy Route?

    "You need to ask yourself here and there, what would the original pilgrims have done? Would they climb up to that radio tower for the view or continued walking along this perfectly fine river? There are some places where the marked route goes out of the way simply because a pre-existing hiking...

    Conques to SJPDP just completed

    Hi Bob, Your captions, though that seems too small a word for some of your reflections, added to my enjoyment and contemplation of the images. Not to spare you blushes Bob but you have a talent for the ancient form of Haiku. Providing others with a composition (visual, written, musical etc) that...

    Beginner's questions about the route

    Margaret PS Sorry if I am too verbose, but in genealogical terms I just discovered I am related to a very famous Irish orator (as well as being distantly related to Peter Lalor of Eureka Stockade fame), so am feeling distinctly 'wordy' this morning!!! Hi Margaret, Which Irish orator Daniel...

    Hi Margaret I know you are an advocate for the route in fact your blog photos, and the transfer of enthusiasm for the route, were crucial 'nails in the coffin' when deciding what I Camino I would choose next! I have PM'd you re my start dates. Thanks Nell

    Leaving Le Puy on Aug 16 - say "hello" if you see me

    Hi Gitti, Its great you found your balance on your journey and I hope you can keep that 'Camino state' for as long as possible on 're-entry' to regular life at home. Hoping everything works out for your daughter, and surely having a camino walking mom is a little bit.... 'cool' 8)? Bonne route Nell

    Leaving Le Puy on Aug 16 - say "hello" if you see me

    Hi Gitti, Congratulations on your achievement. And thank you for your reassuring post it topped up my 'Can do' account when it was beginning to dip a little. I'm coming to think of yourself, Margaret and Bob as a sort of 'Le Puy Trinity' !- a resource I am going to reference a lot over the...

    Leaving Le Puy on Aug 16 - say "hello" if you see me

    Re Bed bugs Thanks Bob and Margaret, I don't mind the biting/itching bit so much but I got a nasty little fever for a day or two after being bitten a few years ago, and that could be a nuisance when walking a short stretch of 5-10 days. They are interesting little creatures though I read that a...
