    Biarritz Airport - current through time

    I’ve just booked my flight from Bristol to Biarritz, and have booked the Express Bourricot to take me to SJPdP. They say they pick up 30 mins after a plane lands, but I’m a bit worried as I am checking my rucksack in the hold as I am carrying walking poles. Will 30 mins be enough time to get...

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    Thank you! I have not heard of this company but was impressed with the one you recommended. It looks fab, but it’s very £££!

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    I just googled that route Bill, impressive! I wonder if our paths will cross? Buen Camino, Lucy

    Yet another sleeping bag question!

    I’m planning the CF, SJPdP to Santiago staring early September, hopefully finishing in Finisterre or Muxia mid to end October. I hate being too hot or too cold! I’m debating the eternal liner or lightweight sleeping bag question. I’m expecting it to be probably hot at the start, but much...

    Altus Poncho Help

    Thanks, I’ll take a watch of this.Am I right in thinking you make your own clothes too? Apologies if I have the wrong person but I’m frantically trying to find an old thread I read about someone buying Merino Wool material to make her own light weight travel dress. A bit of a stab in the dark...

    Altus Poncho Help

    Please help! I’m looking to order an Altus Atmospheric Poncho for the CF in Sept/Oct. I’m UK based, so will probably end up ordering from Amazon Uk, which will charge me over £11 for delivery, so I want to get the sizing right. I’m a shorty, 5 foot 1, 195 pounds, and will be carrying a 45l...

    Hiking Sandals only?

    So I got to try my new Keen Whispers out today on a 7 mile walk. I walked on sand, forest trails and gravel paths and the sandals did good! I wore the, with Bridgedale socks and had no rubbing or blisters. They weren’t quite as cushioned as I’m used to with other shoes, but on the whole I’m pleased!

    Hiking Sandals only?

    Thank you all. My Keen Whispers arrived yesterday, and…….. I think I’m in love! I ordered a half size up and they feel great. I just have to get past their , ahem, ugliness now, and an inbuilt girly aversion to socks with sandals! I will try them out on the weekend, but in the meantime, please...

    Hiking Sandals only?

    Thank you so much for all your replies! Sandals only certainly seems doable. I have a pair of Keen Whispers arriving this week, so will try them out. I have an old comfy pair of Hokas so could possibly take them and bin them en route if the sandals seem to be working out! Thanks again.

    Hiking Sandals only?

    Hi, I’m hoping to do the CF in early September, from SJPdP and hopefully onto Finisterre. I was meant to do the Camino in 2020, my flight was all booked, but then we all know what happened! I’m back looking at my gear now, and reading more about hiking sandals.I’m just wondering whether I...

    Thank you. Is there a way to ensure you get a La Posada meal when you prebook with the albergue?

    Roncesvalles Albergue

    Thanks Biarritzdon. I'm on the actual website for the albergue, and was about to book when I dithered about whether to get food there or not. I looked on booking.com then and the Posada is the only one on that site that is in Roncesvalles. The others are beyond it, so don't want to book any of...

    Roncesvalles Albergue

    I'm really not sure. This is on Booking.com. Any date I put in around that time seems to be booked for the room. I guess I need to decide where I want to stay between Posada and the monastery one, as I hadn't considered anything other than the monastery.
