Anyone ever walk the Camino de Santiago ? I'm considering quitting my crap job and walking this after travelling Ireland for a while. The Frances and Norte are the routes I'm considering. Any input or tips ?
thinking of doing this as well. haven't hiked much but staying in this shithole any longer will probably kill me faster than exhaustion. what counties/places in ireland did you go?
Did a bit of the Norte starting in St Jean. Had to quit due to blisters. Not sure I'll ever finish it, but it was a fun few weeks and I met some awesome people. My tips:- Keep your pack as small and light as possible- No cotton, only merino- Don't wear boots- Hiking poles will save your knees. You aren't a boomer for using them- Know some basic Spanish

There's a good movie called the Way about hiking the Camino. I also liked the documentary Walking the Camino: Six Ways to SantiagoPersonally, I have no desire to do it. I've done some 3 day hiking and backpacking trips and that's about all I can stand. Maybe it's more tolerable if you stay in Airbnb's and hotels along the way.
