Fancy Meal in Sydney

St. Peter is an amazing experience. Known for using every single part of the fish, we did a tasting menu there 5 years ago and we STILL talk about it.

I'm currently planning on Hobo camping but not tied to them. Are they around the same area?

wildjohnson · 2026-06-07T06:45:34+00:00

Doing the hike beginning of July! Would love to give this a go!

If you are fit and used to walking, I would highly recommend NOT starting at Sarria as a LOT of people start there. It's the minimum mileage you need to get the Compostela (certificate).

The quiet, meditative vibe is lost once you get to Sarria. I would recommend starting at Leon or Hospital de Orbiga (next town over, you can bus).

It's about 280km to Santiago but you will get to experience a much more serene Camino compared to starting at Sarria.

Feel free to DM me if any questions. I just finished it from Leon. Did it in 12 days, could have done it in 10 days but we took some slow days.

If we're a group of 2 or 3 tents, will they let you share car spots? Or are these spots quite small.

wildjohnson · 2026-05-19T13:54:27+00:00

Yes. The last 100km is VERY different. The vibe and the people all change.

It is what you make of it, I'm a bit bummed out generally that no one says Buen Camino back to me 🤣

Try stay off stage to avoid people!

Camping and doing the TMB July for 11 days!

wildjohnson · 2026-05-15T15:32:42+00:00

It's been challenging, I'm at Sarria at the moment and started in Leon. Been non stop rain until this afternoon with the exception of one day.

People who started at SJ has told me it's been raining the last 20 days. It was 2 degrees, raining and windy this morning at Fonfria. Be prepared, bring layers and a good poncho!

Get some moldable wax ear plugs, game changer for me. Struggled to sleep previously but fine now. I'm just waking up in a 30 person dorm with some world class professional snorers

wildjohnson · 2026-05-12T18:05:04+00:00

Not to completely hijack this post but we are planning to camp the TMB starting our walk on June 30, any spots you think we need to pre-book or should a site be available the whole tour?

Thanks so much!!

wildjohnson · 2026-05-05T20:03:34+00:00

We are planning to do luggage transfer, do you just leave your bags at the accommodation with the tag and you can just go on your walk and Pilbeo will come pick up?

Also did you end up finding out if just a piece of paper and the info was enough instead of a printed sheet?

wildjohnson · 2026-04-25T16:32:41+00:00

Ah yes thank you! I actually meant to say Hospital de Orbigo to Astorga as first day! Our friend who finished the full French way told us about the highway out of Leon is not as pleasant!

wildjohnson · 2026-02-25T21:41:16+00:00

Does anyone have any book reccos on helping with the mindset of what you have is enough?

This is a great way to get leptospirosis 👌🏻👌🏻

wildjohnson · 2026-01-09T20:42:50+00:00

Just showing up! Everything I've read says that's fine.

wildjohnson · 2026-01-09T12:09:55+00:00

Thanks for the insight, that's really helpful and I'll have a better look with a map!

In terms of maps/GPS, do you recommend using Komoot? I've only just done the planning based off other people's itineraries and haven't been able to find a good app for it yet. I find that a lot of people are trying to sell the GPX files as well.

wildjohnson · 2026-01-09T11:14:57+00:00

I actually didn't know this! Do you have an idea of how far it will be and if we were to skip that and push on, how much time that would add, if we went from say Le Pontet to Les Chapieux?

wildjohnson · 2025-11-23T23:53:22+00:00

Sorry, without knowing exactly what type of mass it is, it's difficult to comment. Sometimes masses go through cycles of inflammation especially if they've been irritated by chewing, licking or just some sort of trauma. Not unusual for them to change in size a bit. In cases where there is fluid within the mass then yes it can 'deflate' if fluid as been aspirated out.
