    What would you change about the CF - if you could?

    Yes it’s amazing the change mentally!! It’s about the most ‘freeing’ thing I do! I am not a sunbather but love swimming in the sea and always seek out clothing optional beaches to swim. Thankfully no shortage in many parts of Europe!

    Endless hand-wringing about the crowds may be premature

    Certainly talking to quite a few younger people on a recent Camino at dinner, gave me the thought that numbers are likely to increase, certainly amongst that demographic. They were all European btw. 1. Folks looking for a more eco friendly experience. No flying, less oppulence and consumerism...

    What would you change about the CF - if you could?

    Topical as been in one today in Germany. Feels fine and no big deal to me but understand why it would unnerve some cultures. It’s incredibly freeing! Germany does fantastic wellness centres btw! Just outstanding! They take it very seriously!

    Price of air tickets in 2025

    Sure just keep looking but start over Xmas. Obv a trade of on price vs ease. Had to fly to ORD a few weeks back when was in NYC. Lead in fare ex NYC was USD 220 so had a look at PHL to ORD and was only $50 so was worth a few hours on the bus from Port Authority to Philly in my view.

    Price of air tickets in 2025

    There is concern in the airline industry about the capacity offered vs the expected high demand in 2025. Much of the concerns re capacity are due to late aircraft deliveries. Along with that are assessing of what is offered to /from Asia given the need in some cases to overfly Russia. Airlines...

    International Calling Card - any recommendations?

    No it’s fine. Just checking your weren’t on a UK company contract such as O2 who give free calls from USA to UK. I guess first place to check is on TBs call home rate from USA. An eSIM will be cheaper but if only making one call..

    Monbus has a new website

    Happy Christmas to you all

    Happy Xmas and Merry Xmas are pretty much used interchangeably verbally I would say in UK, with no real preference for either. I think shops go with ‘Merry Xmas’.

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    Pretty much as everyone else has said. >90% you will probably make it, but there are lots of depending factors. What sort of train ticket do you have. Is it flexible, changeable etc. What are the associated fees.

    Old Camino Walkers

    Great effort esp the 10kg pack! I do think that age can matter obv. in relationship to fitness. Plenty of hikes I wouldn’t recommend to say an unfit person of say 75+ but I think even most folks even of that category could do a Camino. The first few days might be tough! The accessibility of...
