      I started two Caminos on May 13th exactly in St.Jean. Was great both times. Mixed weather, plenty of people, plenty of doomsday talk of not getting beds. But would do it again. Maybe get reservations for Roncesvalles and Zubiri.

      I tried to adjust for this with my "additions". Instead of my sub-500g pack, i calculated a 1kg pack (and you can get one of those for a more reasonable price), instead of my 240g sleeping bag i calculated a 640g one... and so on. Maybe not...

      Anhalter replied to the thread Roncesvalles or Burguete?.
      I'll chime in with the motion to stay in Roncesvalles for a first camino just because of experiencing this place. (and contrary to Roland i don't have very fond memories of the food)

      I added even more comfort items to my pack this year, bringing it up to about 4kg. If i was to add my tent (~700g), a sleeping mat ( ~400g) and a warmer sleeping bag (add ~400g) and maybe a few hundred gramms of utensils for camping that would...

      For my second Camino Frances i had a vague list of places i might consider for staying the second time around but made the decisions more from how i felt in the moment. I also had a vague list of places i did not stay and might like to stay, but...

      Anhalter replied to the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta.

      Uhm... from my memory the beds looked like this pre-renovation already. Really liked the albergue when i stayed there 2022. The airconditioning worked wonders. Bathrooms could have used some update, and i guess they did that now. But all in all a...

      I think the forest way, which i took in 2022, was where i hurt my chin muscle. But then it might have something to do that i walked all the way from Orisson to Zubiri on day 2. In hindsight, not the smartest move. That being said, the forest way...

      To the best of my knowledge there aren't any real bottlenecks between Leon and Santiago. You should be fine. Not that i ever had problems getting a place in albergues, but i decided that it is a lot easier to carry a credit card than a tent and...

      Anhalter replied to the thread Need to ship stuff home.
      Yes, they should have the required supplies to ship something home. No idea how big the office in Viana is, it might be rather small and they might not have everything. If thats the case, you could try Logrono, which in all likelihood has a much...
