Day 13: Chavanay - Saint Julien-Molin-Molette 19,5km
I didn't sleep very well because of snoring and the blinding green exit light. I understand they are mandatory but I am sure that whoever stipulated the brightness never had to sleep with one...
Day 0: Bilbao
I arrived in Bilbao today, from another Camino, to start the Camino Olvidado. I walked the Olvidado from Aguilar de Campoo to Villafranca del Bierzo last year, so I will only walk from Bilbao to Aguilar de Campoo this time. That...
Thank you @peregrina2000 ! And to put this in context, as we're known to be distance challenged slow walkers I would never have taken this path if my darling had objected. And the reason we took this path is that she objected to the more...
First post on the forum! I did a portion of el norte with two friends last month. (My first Camino and I’m SO HOOKED!) We are in our 50s, run together and came prepared for physical challenge. Last month June ‘24, we followed the “Liendo a tu...
Day 9: Valencogne - le Grand Lemps 22,5km
Morning was a bit fresh and mostly the day remained cloudy, although when sun did peek out it was hot quickly.
The first climb was mild but wet and offered a nice view back towards Savoie and previous...
Day 8: St Genix-sur-Guiers to Valencogne 20,5km
Despite a good sleep (with two breaks which kinda seems to be becoming a habit) I felt sleepy all morning and walked a bit on autopilot.
The countryside has changed to rolling fields, steeper...
Day 7: Yenne - St Genix-sur-Guiers 26,5km (yesterday)
Yesterday was beautiful but tough.
It rained intermittedly during the night. In one of the pauses an owl hooted.
We (Alfred and I) were ready to start by 5h30, because as per the evening...
Day 6: Chanaz - Yenne 19km
I didn't sleep very well and it took me a whole hour to prepare and pack in the morning. It was a shortish day, so no worries.
The steep climb out of Chanaz resolved into a nice gravel track undulating past meadows...
Day 5: Seysell - Chanaz 23km
Today was a proper summer day. Not yet the meseta scorching heat but certainly getting there.
I thought it was going to be a pretty uneventful day, being mostly flat and along a river. Yeah...
It started innocently...
