GR700 & Arles 2017
Norte 2019
Tomorrow (13th) my Camino begins! I shall spend today exploring Le-Puy after a long 37 hours travelling time from my home on the Gold Coast Australia. I'm a woman travelling solo with virtually no French so I'm sure thus will be an adventure and a huge personal journey.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
How far do you plan walking? All the way to Santiago de Compostela?
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Pick up apocket-sized French phrasebook if you haven't already. And an Aussie flag for your pack. And take it easy those first few days. You'll make memories to last a lifetime!

Bon chemin!
 
Kimmy I have just over 4 weeks so hoping to make it to SJPDP or Roncesvalles. I walked the VDLP 4 years ago so was fortunate to walk to Santiage DC then onto Finesterre
 
Thanks Rob, Kit I have a small badge on my pack for Australia.

I wish you well it's a beautiful walk, I completed it from mid May arriving Santiago 25th July. I'm a single female from Sydney, very little French and walked alone but never felt lonely and enjoyed marvelous company. Burn Camino
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Buen Camino Cherie!
Thinking of doing Le-Puy to SJPdP in August.
Anyone got any advice on how long it takes?

Hi Gerard,

I will be doing the same route in April and May this year and have planned to complete the route in 40 days that includes 3 rest days along the way. Our average kilometres per day is approximately 20km (max will be 32 towards the end but we should be fit by that stage of the walk),

Good luck and enjoy your journey.

Regards

Ralph
 
Grettings from Jerusalem and Bon Marche! Hope you brought your longjohns crossing the Aubrac plateau is freezing even in the Spring! When you get to Cahors do stay with Serge at Le Relais des Jacobins - don't even consider someplace else and please give him my regards-he hasn't had many pilgrimns from Jerusalem.

Bon Voyage Cherie, from Tugun on the Gold Coast! We hope to follow you starting in late April 2014 with friends from our first camino (Frances) in 2013.
Hi Dan,

looks like quite a few Aussies tackling the Camino in late April, plus one American from Minneapolis who is teaming up with us - might get a bit crowd. Bring the Aussie flag!!!

Hope to see you in late April.
