...........with lots of daily walking.Frances is more social, summer camp for adults I like to call it ;0)
Nice words, 'horizon widening experience'!I think of walking others and have three of them but I enjoy the horizon widening experience of the Frances (in all it's influences/dimensions).
Not as much cathedrals as on the CF
Thanks everyone for your insights and comparisons. Back from the VdlP and wondering which Camino will be my next. Your comments are helpful and greatly appreciated.Hi all,
I`ve got a few ideas going around in my head about how best to spend 90 days doing a Camino this summer. I`m curious to hear your opinions on why you`ve decided to do the Norte route instead of the traditional Frances route. Other than, of course, less crowded trails, albergues, etc.
Ciao for now!
I had the impression @BHop was a Canuck rather than a Jock. But who am I to quibble. Having become a landowner is Scotland over Xmas I am not even sure I will be allowed in, let alone out again.The Jocks don't need a visa Doug. Just permission to leave the nether regions of this sceptred isle!
Doug, I too am a land owner at the same place, My wife decided I needed to be a Lord or something, LOL, we visited there last year and it really is a nice place and the conservation efforts that the purchase helps are really in place. Any Way, Chin up, I don't believe you deserved the public response on another thread.OT warning!! Indeed, but I think I own the grand total of 1o1 square feet in two plots - part of a conservation scheme near Glencoe. The scheme itself seems like a wonderful idea, but I am not even sure that I can put up a tent on either of my plots it as I expect they to be occupied by trees!
The side trip to Oviedo was a great highlight for us.
90 days?Hi all,

If you do the Norte, I'd recommend starting in Irun. Irun - Santander is the most spectacular part.Hi all,

Well, I have finally booked my ticket. I will be leaving from Vancouver to Paris on Thursday the 4th, and hopefully getting to Le Puy within a day or two to start my walk. I appreciate everyones input here and am definitely leaning towards heading up to the Norte route. Seems more my style. I'll be bringing a sleeping bag, mattress, and tarp too. We'll see how the stealth camping goes
Taking a bit of a risk going 1 way, but I'm going to try and advise ahead of time so security agents aren't asking questions at the airport. All part of it right? ha!
What do you mean Thornley? How could camping cause issues with a return flight? Just because I have a sleeping bag?
Bhop, I'll be leaving tomorrow for Irun. I start walking the 4th of June. I'll be taking 90 days and camping as well. You will probably over take me in a couple weeks. Have a wonderful journey.
