<blockquote TYPE=CITE> Hello, Hopefully I will be able to make
the pilgrimage within the next year and have somequestions. While
on the trail, would I be able to tent camp, use hostels or what other alternatives?
<p>It is possible to tent camp. I have seen equestrian pilgrims do that
and have heard of cyclists doing it. I had to do it once, but did not have
a tent. In Spain, there is rarely a need for a hiking pilgrim to bring
a tent. In France, it is a different situation; many hikers bring their
tents since France does not have many pilgrim facilities. Of the four routes
in France, the LePuy route is reported to have the most facilities available.
I am familar only with the Arles route. For the most part, this meant hotels,
chambres d'hôte, and hostals.

<br> If I go in March/April what kind of weather might I expect?
<br>Lots of rain - also snow if you start from France.
<br> My Spanish is <i>poquito; </i>will I miss much because of this?
<p>Si, but even poquito helps.
<br>
<br> Any response would be appreciated Dallas Simpson
