    Supplies on the CdN

    Zim, I'll offer a different take. After the long travel to get there, it's kind of a drag to have to top off supplies. My recommendation is to get the poles, swiss army knife, Alive and Compeed here in North America. Then put everything in a very cheap checked bag, enjoy your flight over without...

    Camino Del Norte - starting October 21st - walking solo

    I went almost as late as you 2 years ago. Beautiful walk, but you will definitely feel the camino closing up behind you. Perhaps it has changed now, but when I started out neither the main Pilgrim alburgue nor the the main credential church in Irun were open at all! I ended up staying in the...

    Guidebook help please! Starting Friday!

    I do not suggest that there is "a problem" with accommodations in Irun/Henday, because the "problem" was not with either of those fine towns, but was with me!

    Camino North Oct/Nov?

    I started from Hendaye on October 8 last year. And, while I would not trade my Camino for the world, I should tell you that with respect to weather it was two extremes. The first half was GORGEOUS- really stunning, sunny and gentle. The second half- just the opposite. It was a struggle to keep...

    Camino North Oct/Nov?

    Hi Karen, I'm sure each year is different, however my experience just recently was that October was simply gorgeous along the coastal route. November arrived and everything changed - most days were quite wet and often cold as well. I think that on balance I got a good deal but it was two...

    Camino North Oct/Nov?

    Hi, last minute American nubie here. On an almost spur of the moment, I’m going to do the Camino starting October 10 +/- a day. Would very much like to do the northern route starting in Hendaye FR. Plan to go all the way in 35+/- days. My questions are these if anyone would be so kind as to give...
