Gulp -- backpack sitting in the hall, all packed for tomorrow. Queer feeling. I'm freaking out....just a little....aaaahhhhrrrgghhhh!!!!! Train leaves at 6:25 am and I won't get to Bayonne till 19:33 .... boy that'll be a loooong train ride. I fear the moment of having to part with my sweetheart...
Hi Angus!
I hope to meet you and Nee at some point of our walk.
I've been in your neck of the woods two years ago and we hiked up Ben Aan. Lol -- the local Scotsmen (even the kids!) pretty much flew up and down that mountain... We were in awe! Lol -- if you resemble them in any way, I'm sure...
Thank you but I'm already happy with my packing list according to my plain basic needs (less than 6 kg) and my personal totally unnecessary, yet joy-creating wants. At first I tried to minimize weight no matter what. But then I figured -- hey, if I'm willing and able to carry the extra weight...
Hi George,
May? Oh no --I'm not walking till June. Too bad, but I loved the ear on the ground part :) ... Buen Camino!
Oh -- and I got my albergues for Bayonne and Orisson all booked .... so hopefully I'm all set for a stressfree start! Whoohooo!!!!!
Also getting better with my training...
Hi Nee,
Cool -- I'll keep an eye out to meet you! I'll get to Bayonne on the 23rd in the evening... too late to get to Saint Jean that day, so I'm planning on taking the first train on the 24th and get everything settled at the pilgrims office, have a bit of time to look around and then...
Hi Allan,
Thanks for the welcome! Gulp -- competent ? Don't know about that... but I'm bringing it because I seriously WOULD miss playing it -- I've only been playing for a year and a half, so nothing fancy and I can't guarantee every note to be completely straight ... also an occacional...
Hello,
My name is Steph and I live in Germany. I'll be walking the Camino Frances alone starting in June. Currently doing practise hikes with full backpack weight .... at least this way I know I COULD do it .... but sadly I also get a feeling for how rough it'll get. Train tickets are booked...
