- Time of past OR future Camino
- started in 2012, hooked ever since.
So after a gorgeous walk last september on the Invierno (after the Madrid), have started looking at some ideas for this September. We are just back from a month of travelling in Spain in our campervan with our 2 dogs and really want to keep doing that sort of journey. We have 2 options for getting to Spain in a campervan with the dogs from Ireland and one of them is to get a ferry from Ireland (Rosslare) to Bilbao. So I am thinking about going with my husband and dogs in the Ferry to Bilbao then waving goodbye for me to walk the Olvidado while my husband has a wonderful wife-free 3 weeks touring round in the van. Sort of perfect for us both!
I was thinking 3 weeks would be enough to get to Villafranca on the Francés?
Have downloaded Ender's English guide for the Olvidado (many thanks @peregrina2000) and also have started to read up on the Olvidado forum for information, again thanks @peregrina2000 for your own detailed guide. Did anyone walk this route last year or planning to this year? If anyone did walk last year, I would appreciate any updates especially re route/accommodation etc. My other question is about GPS. It would seem essential as mentioned by a few people. I have not used GPS, but it would seem Wikiloc is popular? Any other suggestions? Afraid I am a bit of a techy nerd so as much information would be appreciated!
Look forward to having a conversation about this lovely sounding Camino!
