Nine days to walk 11 -- suggestions on what to skip

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to hearing about Annie's trip -- thank you for all your posts!!

We have been planning to start in Irun on the 2nd of May, but must meet my son in Burgos on the 10th. When I add it up, I've got about 11 days of walking to do in just nine days. Advice would be appreciated on what I should skip so I get to the church (albeit that cathedral in Burgos) on time. :)

Thanks,
Deidre
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi Deidre, Are you going to walk the Camino del Interior or the Camino Frances?

I don't know about the Camino del Interior but, for the CF, I would start from Puente la Reina rather than trying to skip sections here and there.

To start off you would catch a train from Irun to San Sebastian then a bus from there to Puente la Reina (I don't know if there is a bus from Irun to Puente la Reina).

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hi Deidre,

Some years ago I took the Santo Domingo option, so I cannot comment on the last few days to Burgos.

I found stages 2 to 4 (as specified in the Mundicamino site) to be a bit boring as its quite a built up area. I suggest you consider cutting out part of them. As it is so built up you should have no problem getting a bus or train to help you save time.

Safe trip

Dave
