Any advice?

Do you still have your photo album from it somewhere online?

and planning another walk

Yes, I have lots of information, books, photos, maps etc.

Do you know which route? There are 35 different ones

And more important, how far are you prepared to walk? You could of course also cycle there or even a horse riding

I will certainly try and avoid July - August as its extremely hot. When we did ours, we started with 39C on 1st June but temperatures vary a lot depending on location and altitude

Camino Frances route, starting from Sarria to Santiago (110-112km).

So probably about 20km per day... Did you pre-book where you were going to stay?

My Granddad has done it, he's the deviant in the family.

We were planning to use the Albergues but gave up after the first day as it was very basic and had to share large rooms with about another 30 people.

Thereafter we stayed at B&B, hostales etc which were excellent. We did have some difficulties in finding rooms and had to get my family to book them in advance for us while we were out there
