I walked the Le Puy Camino as far as Auvillar in June 2018. I agree with many of the choices listed by others. I spent two nights in Figeac in order to take the train to Rocamadour; a definite highlight, and again spent two nights in Moissac. I...
We have been travelling from Australia via Dubai and have been caught in the kaos in Dubai airport for over 3 days. Sleeping on the floor of the airport and finally Emerites put us up in accomodation. Just arrived in Madrid 6 days late but now...
"If you have hiked in mountains with any frequency and are relatively fit, don't worry about the earlier posts that characterize this as a "difficult" route. I was 69-72 when I walked this route and I don't think you'll find it difficult if you...
So, I've just found about this event and thought it would be good to share here. The movie has been mentioned in previous posts, like this one. Unfortunately, I cant be in Sydney on that Thursday, but maybe others can! At Hayden Orpheum Picture...
This is because gravity is non-linear: it will reach around corners and over edges, grab you by the ankles, and haul you down. I'm convinced, and have the scars to prove it.
I too, have a fear of heights, and always stay away from edges as best I can. My only two memories that came to mind to answer the question are the same two you have mentioned. I have walked the Cele variant and do not recall any extreme cliffs.
Thank you so much Andy for your very comprehensive Guide to Le Puy. You have put in so much effort and it is really appreciated as we try and plan our walk for August 2024. I now have a much better picture of what to expect for my 4th Camino 😊
Oh Kathy, I am so with you and know exactly what you are talking about! Hope you are still out there walking in lovely places away from edges that make your heart thump! 😊
Your guide is very, very helpful, but as I begin to dream of walking the Le Puy route, one question is niggling in the back of my mind. As background, I'm 77 and have walked the Frances, Portuguese and (just this fall) Ingles Camino, as well as...
It's not crime that I was referring to when I asked about being safe. I'm not at all concerned about that. I'm talking about the terrain. For example, on the walk to Finisterre last month, I had to cross a narrow log bridge with no railing, over...
