a warm up to the Pyrennes by starting in Lourdes, or maybe even starting in Cantebury. Time not an issue. Need input!!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I live in Wales - not far from Swansea. A lot of years after walking the Camino Frances I decided to fill in the missing part by walking from home to St Jean Pied de Port. Mostly along the Wales Coast Path to Chepstow, footpath to Bristol, towpath through Bath and along the Kennet & Avon canal, then minor roads to Portsmouth. Then I took a ferry to St Malo, river and canal paths to St Nazaire, then more or less just kept the sea on my right all the way south to Bayonne. Feel free to make up your own route as you go along!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
