Hello Mick,
I haven't walked the Camino Norte but from most accounts it is a bit more strenuous than the Camino Frances - in terms of terrain, lack of pilgrim refuges and distances between refuges.
If you haven't already started your research, you could have a look at Eric Walker's website at:

There is also a blog of sorts at: http://hemleypilgrim.blogspot.com/

And, perhaps a few more: http://www.caminolinks.co.uk

These websites might help as well:
