Route Planner

[roly]

Hi There,
This is my first post. I'm planning on doing my first Camino in April. I went to the web site where there is a stage by stage discription of each stage - very informative. The problem is, it stops on day 23. Any ideas on how I can get days 24 to the end? Is it a problem the website or has the route info not been completed ?
Many Thanks
Roly

Hi Roly:
I too will be doing my first Camino in April. I will arrive SJPP on April 17th and plan to start out on April 18th.
Somewhere I came across this site www.godesalco.com.
It identifies each stage, you pick the ones where you want to stop and it will calculate the distance between each for you. THen, you can send it to yourself in a spreadsheet.
I found it a very useful tool.

When do you plan to start?

All the best.

Thanks CTLOU - I'll take a look at that. I plan to start on the 23rd

I will finish it soon, it has been on the back buner due to work.

Thanks Leslie - I look forward to that as I'm going to follow this plan on my walk.

In the meantime you could buy the Brierley guide to the Camino. it's a very handy and important book -- most English speakers use this guide. Here it is on Amazon or it's available from the Confraternity:

Amazon.com: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago: St. Jean - Roncesvalles - Santiago (9781844091928): John Brierley: Books

Thanks for that - I'll take a look

Hello,

I am also planning to walk this is all new to me and it scares me because Ive never done anything like this before but I know I have to. I opted for the Frances path being alone and am trying to research as much as I can but also leave some alone and let "whatever" guide the way. But not being a walker and feeling a little unfit not having much money to even begin to save up for this journey Im feeling a little confused on how why when and where etc etc!!!

I went to that site found it quite confusing and muddles but thank you i have no idea what i am doing or where i start how much money i will need!!! *

Hi Janine,
With smart preparations you can do this. I strongly recommend starting with the Brierley guidebook I mentioned above. This is the most widely-used guidebook for English-speakers for good reason. Read the first capters about prepping for the Camino and follow his advice carefully. Also, depending on where you live, there may be a Camino reunion group nearby. People in our Seattle group are more than willing to help first-timers. I'd be willing to help, too, if you want to talk offline. But first, buy the Brierley guidebook (via Amazon or the Confraternity of St James). Once you've used it to help you prepare and plan it'll be the one book you will also want to carry with you.

Buen camino!
