Good morning everyone,
I haven't been on this site for a while, since returning home from my Via Francigena trip this last summer.
Now that the fall season is upon us and in an effort to cope with my post trip depression (LOL!), it is time to start my planning for the second half of the trip from Rome to Capo Santa Maria Di Leucca.
As usual I have just Googled the name of the trip, searched Amazon and several other book vending sites, but have failed to come up with a supplier/writer (author) of an English version guidebook.
That being said, I am now turning to the "numerous" brilliant minds (and well traveled) participants on this site in hopes that someone smarter than I can point me in the right direction to find what I am looking for!

Any suggestions? (Thank you in advance)
 
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.

€46,-
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
LOL!!!!!!

Me too, but now I am committed after finishing the first half and not getting any younger!!!

Certainly the guide mentioned by @roving_rufus is the one to go for at the moment.

I saw a message (on Via Francigena FB) recently from Sandy Brown (author of the three updated volumes of VF guide published by Cicerone) that he is working on a guide to the VF del Sud. But it won't be available until 2025.

I did it in 2018 and it is interesting to see the slow but steady increase in popularity - that is my impression anyway from reports on the forum. it is a fairly logical extension for those who have walked to Rome. It is a different experience from the stage from Alps to Rome - less infrastructure, less people, less waymarking - but I found it immensely enjoyable. And it can be done all year round.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Can anyone recommend a place to stay in Jougne, the end of the last stage in France? Thanks. Karl
Can't get into the official Via Francigena site. I've used it for years, but today all I get when I try to enter it is 'File not found". For example, if I enter...
