Hello! I am thinking of switching socks for my second Camino - I didn’t get a lot of blisters the first time when walking with Falke, but the ones I did get were annoying… Outer side of my heel, due to rubbing because my ankles drop inwards. My physio now recommended me to try Wrightsocks! Who here has walked the Camino with them? and which model did you take? Coolmesh seems nice to prevent hot feet, but perhaps the slightly thicker material of the stride is better? :)

Hello all! I posted a couple of days ago about which route to take beginning of oct, and have now made my choice for the Frances. Now I looked into it a bit and realised that for the first stage, pre-booking is recommended. So I go and check and there is already no beds anymore in Orisson or Alberge Borda?? Is this normal? Makes me extremely sad now, as I don’t think its smart for me to attempt SJPdP to Roncesvalles in one go… :(

Hallo zusammen :)

Hier dreht es sich ja meist um Wanderungen im deutschsprachigen Raum, aber vllt sind auch ein paar Peregrinos dabei. Ich habe letztes Jahr den Camino portug central gelaufen und es war eine so schöne Zeit. Daher will ich dieses Jahr wieder auf einen Camino. Ich habe leider erst Anfang Oktober Zeit, vmtl 9-10 Lauftage (An- und Abreise extra). Ich liebäugle schon mit dem Camino del Norte von Irun nach Bilbao, aber da sind schon wohl einige steile Berge dabei, plus potenziell viel Regen… Alternativ wäre auf dem Camino Frances der Abschnitt Pamplona bis Burgos (die Überquerung der Pyrenäen lasse ich glaube ich bei der Jahreszeit lieber schon weg). Welche Option würdet ihr raten? :)

Falls relevant: Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, den jeweiligen Weg dann innerhalb der folgenden zwei Jahre etappenweise abzuschließen.

hello! I want to go on a Camino beginning of October, I have about 9 days of walking available :) I’ve done the Camino Portuguese central last year and am itching for more! my initial thought was the Norte (Irun to Bilbao) but now I’m also considering Frances (Pamplona to Burgos, skipping the pyrenees as I think the weather will be too bad). What are your thoughts on these two options? I am thinking of coming back the next years and complete the one that I am starting too…

Hello fellow pilgrims! I have completed the Camino Portuguese central last year and am itching to go back on another Camino :) Currently in planning mode for early October. my idea so far is to spend 8-10 days on the Camino del Norte with the following itinerary:

1. Irun - Pasi Donibane (19km, 500m elevation)

2. Pasi Donibane - San Sebastián (8km, 300m)

3. San Sebastián (explore the city)

4. San Sebastián - Orio (16km, 530m)

5. Orio - Zumaia (16km, 420m)

6. Zumaia - Deba (12km, 530m)

7. Deba - Markina (23km, 1160m)

8. Markina - Mendata (17km, 610m)

9. Mendata - Larrabetzu (24km, 850m)

10. Larrabetzu - Bilbao (14km, 380m)

I am not sure about the albergue situation though, it seems like in a lot of these places there aren’t many or any?

additional thought: Early October is probably not too busy right? But might be cold and rainy (do I need a sleeping bag?)

looking forward to hear your thoughts/ proposals!

Hallo, ich habe eine vllt blöde Frage: Ich habe ein paar Iron on patches von Wanderwegen, die ich gerne an meinen Wanderrucksack anbringen würde. Jetzt habe ich nur überlegt, ob man die wirklich heiss aufbügelt - schmilzt da nicht das material vom rucksack? Ich habe einen Deuter aircontact lite 35l (glaube ich), das ist ja Synthetisches Material…

danke 😅🫶

Hallo zusammen

ich bin ab diesem Wochenende in den Allgäuer Alpen unterwegs und suche nach halbwegs guten Wegen für eine Wettervorhersage/ RegenRadar. Was könnt ihr empfehlen?

Hallo zusammen,

ich fahre am Samstag und Sonntag mit ICE verbindungen durchs Land. Normalerweise kann man so kurz vorher ja bei seinen gebuchten Tickets eine voraussichtliche Auslastung sehen - seit gestern ist diese Anzeige aber weg. Liegt das an mir? oder ist es ein generelles Problem…

hello! I will take some holiday the first two weeks of October which allows me 10-12 days of walking. Having done the Camino Portuguese central last year, I now want sth new!

im looking into the Camino del Nort, can you advise me which parts are the best? i dont care about arriving in Santiago, I’m perfectly happy to end somewhere else and maybe pick up again from there next year even :)

Also, what to expect from October? still people around? Is it cold in Albergues/ would I need a sleeping bag?

thank you in advance 🫶 buen Camino

Hi all!

they said Camino never ends, and here I am, nearly a year after walking the Camino Portugues central way, and planning the next one :)

last time I walked in June, with loads of sun and sometimes way too hot weather. Now I want a new route, but also due to work I will only be able to take 2 weeks off in early to mid October. I was thinking of doing one of the longer Caminos (Frances or Norte) over the course of multiple years maybe..

Which one would you recommend to do at that time of year? Any opinions welcome :)

hi all,

im coming to Singapore and wanted to go to Lavo as a friend recommended it to me! however it seems like if I do a reservation for just one person, they won’t offer outside seating… Is it still worth it to go then? what experience have other single travellers made? thank you!
