- Time of past OR future Camino
- Irun to Santiago planned
Hey folks,
Looking to hear from Pawrents who have done Camino with a dog. I looked for a dog topic thread this is close as I can find?
We've staged to Bilbao on Norte from St Jean de Luz. As I was told before it was extremely difficult on this route both terrain, length, elevation and accommodation. It's the accommodation getting me down the most. We've wild camped twice, slept rough once and the other two nights well... Irun Albergue allowed us their car park... a Mendata one their garden. At least I got a shower there. I think last night squatting in an old food truck getting soaked at 1am as a thunderstorm hit is my limit.
Time to make a decision.
I'm wondering if provisions get easier on stage 2 of Norte towards Santander or if its smarter at this point to say I've done 170KM of Norte. Drop South and pick up the Frances to Leon?
The dogs loving life but myself it's a challenge to walk so far and have no shower and only snacks to take to a tent. No kitchens or meals. I've showered at a hostel in Bilbao and the shorts I commuted in are HANGING OFF. I feel like I'm missing out on Albergue comraderie and cheer too.
Try another Norte stage or drop South to Frances?
