Walking The Camino Frances

If you have already done a fair amount of walking or backpacking you already have a good idea of what is required for these types of outings and you will find the Camino Walking Guide an additional resource for you.

Let me assure you though the Camino Frances requires taking that knowledge to another level altogether.

It will be like walking day after day the equivalent of either half or full marathons for weeks and in some cases months. As an example the Camino Frances actually starts in Le Puy in France and it is nearly 730km to St Jean and then around another 800 km to Santiago. People walking the whole way will take 2-3 months.

So attention to detail is critical. Selecting the right footwear, having the best light weight equipment and quick drying clothes, or their equivalents for cold weather etc.

Please look at the right side of this page so you can navigation to other pages for more details and research. I have  also added for your convenience links to sites selling many of the items I have or still do use together with further reviews from customers. Please note I have an affiliate marketing arrangement with some of the sites which means if you make a purchase a small commission may be paid. If so it will be used to maintain the site and enable ongoing updates.

However if not properly prepared then the odds against even getting half way to Santiago are against you.
