    newcomer with questions about Le Puy-en Velay to Conques

    But Please, please remember, that if if for any reason you do not go to the reserved place, you MUST CANCEL !!! Many people don't bother and this is very unfair to the owner of the accommodation as well as to other pilgrims/walkers! If this continues, a situation may arise, where reservations...

    newcomer with questions about Le Puy-en Velay to Conques

    Hello Kay We walked this way during spring 2 years ago and were very happy to have booked all well in advance. The French themselves are avid walkers (not necessarily camino walkers) and this route in particular is very popular. The Aubrac is beautiful in every season and is quite well serviced...

    GPS tracks for Via Francigena

    I'm afraid I know nothing of GPS tracks, but we started this camino in October of 2019, just before covid. This year at last we hope to continue from where we left off that time. We will be in Vitry le Francois on the 25th September. We might meet you on the way 🥾🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️😊. Look our for an Irish...

    Starting from Brussels

    Indeed. Following these signs might do them AND us a lot of good!

    Best tape to prevent blisters

    Absolutely! Tape the moment you start feeling a 'hot spot'. This will stop the friction, which might result in blisters. The tape I use is called MEDISILK, easy to tear, you won't need to use scissors or teeth... Just tear a piece and press it on, allowing for stretching of your foot as...

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    I find that a shocking answer and I think you should have your ear pulled for that reaction. Consideration should come from both sides, obviously you are not of that opinion.

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    Some are going anyway? That is not a good idea. The advice is not given to annoy people but to protect them. There are times that pilgrims have died there because they lost their way in the snow or due to hypothermia. Others have been luckier and were rescued by the bomberos. Is it fair to...

    Overcrowded Camino Frances

    We walked from Roncesvalles (having finished there last year from the Le Puy route) on the 10th of April and were lucky to get a bed. Many who came after us were not so lucky. After that I made a booking each night for the following day and was glad I did. Many people had to keep going to find a...

    want solitude

    A beautiful way with very few fellow pilgrims and certainly also a physical challenge would be the camino mozarabe starting in Almeria or Malaga. It is stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I really don't think the Frances is for you. The most crowded camino of all. Google both. Portuguese also...

    When Posting Reviews on Gronze . . .

    What annoys me most of all is those who regard and treat donativo places as free and take more than they need without paying for anything. Often seem to have plenty of money for drinking and dining though and in some cases money for public transport as well, so that they can get to the next...

    Better route after Col le Lepoeder to Roncevalles with less road walking?

    Yes there is a dirt track/ditch beside the road. Not sure if it's safer. A dirty slippy stoney affair. I'll take the road next time

    Starting from Brussels

    We did this in 2015 and I can tell you where we stayed. Of course a lot may have changed between then and now. I'll start by giving you this name and number Pascal du Chene, chairman of Fr Belgian Association 0032 – 65623479 dychbona@hotmail.com pascal du chene ph daytime mob nr 0032 479...

    Fear of heights - Le Puy July 2022

    I remember and agree. Until I was on it I didn't realise how scarey it was. Next time I will take the busy road below!

    Sleeping bag

    Tell me more 'a very light down-filled quilt' which from where and how light ? I've been looking and have not foundit

    Sleeping bag

    It looks like I should bring my sleeping bag so. The weather has been atrocious there lately and it doesn't look like it's improving just yet.. Today I took out my sleeping bag and added a pair of leggings and my warmest polartec fleece (to replace the lighter one I had packed originally). This...

    Sleeping bag

    I hope to start the Camino Mozarabe from Almeria to Cordoba on April 9th. Will I need to bring a sleeping bag or will my silk liner suffice? I am trying to cut down on my weight but don't want to be cold either....

    Am I fit enough to walk now.

    Looks to me you're a pretty fit guy! Re ruptured disk it may make sense to have your pack transported for you otherwise I think you are ready to go. Buen camino!
