I'm new to the group, but not new to the Camino, having previously contributed to the excellent Santiago-Bicicleta group, and I may even be known to a few here (William for one, certainly). I was converted from cycling to walking in summer 2006 when I gave away my bike at San Xulian do Caminio after cycling all the way from Canterbury, then walked for the last three days into Santiago.
Since then, I've returned twice and walked it from SJPP to Santiago last summer, then from O Cebreiro to Santiago in winter, December 2007. My plan now is to regard all that as preparation for the big event: I'm thinking about walking the whole lot from Canterbury to Santiago. Maybe as a traditional pilgrim wearing replica mediaeval pilgrim hat and cloak. But don't hold me to that! It's still at the ideas stage, and I'm not sure about the practicality of the mediaeval footwear from a medical point of view. (Health & safety....?)
What I really would like to know is the best route from Dieppe - via Chartres - down to SJPP. Who has walked it?
