I used poles on both my Camino Franceses. Why wouldn't you?Different equipment needed for one path that I might not necessarily need on another? [Hiking poles come to mind. I don't plan to use them on my original plan on the Frances].

I just thought about this- haven't taken the time to think it through...anyone mix paths?
I'm thinking about a St. Jean start, Longrono (I think) to Bilbao to pick up the Norte route, then the Primativo to the last bit of Frances into Santiago. This would be in Sept and a week or so in Oct but ending date is flexible.
Any thoughts/advice?

It sounds exciting...hopfully not a bad idea
THAT is fabulous! I love your creativity, your willingness to "make lemonade from Camino lemons!" ; )I started the Via de Plata Oct 2017, walked to Caceres but had bad blisters and the extreme heat and long days ahead made them worse. Caught a bus to Astorga and walked to Sarria as I could walk short distances and care for my feet. I then caught a train and bus to Porto and walked the central route. As I still had 6 days left before my flight back to Australia, once I got to Santiago I caught a bus to Ferrol and walked the Ingles. I didn't bother getting any compostelas as I had one when I had previously walked the Frances. With the Rome2Rio app transport was easy, and I downloaded apps for the Portuguese and the Ingles as I went along. Spur of the moment decisions but all of it was amazing and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
