Once you've done the Brierley Frances route by the book a few times, I'm thinking it would be interesting to do an alternate route version, to keep it fresh. I mean, never straying so far from the Frances that you can't rejoin it but incorporating all the variations and detours possible.
I imagine you could start with the Baztan or Aragones and then meet up at Pamplona, include the detour to Eunate, Los Arcos via Luquin, the Camino Real out of Sahagun, the rarer southern variant out of Leon, the Dragonte out of Villafranca del Bierzo, take in a handful of those "complementary" caminos that they sign all over the place in Galicia, or possibly finish off on the Invierno.
That's the limit of my camino knowledge. What other suggestions have people got for mixing up the Francés so that it doesn't get too familiar, without straying too far from the beaten track that it's no longer the Camino?
