I will try to meet you at the cathedral on March 18th... let's not start before light as it is a short day! I look forward to meeting you there! Steve (the big slow guy)
I will be starting from Sevilla on March 18th!
I walked the VdlP last year starting on March 26th... it was great, although a little wet at times!
Going in March gets me away from part of the Canadian winter!

HH... I will be staying at the Trianna Hostel the night of the 17th and will leave on the 18th. I suspect I will be seeing you on the road. I have not done as much walking which concerns me a little, but I am looking forward to doing this walk again! See you! Steve SWSW
HH and HH,
I look forward to meeting you!
Water on the route is not too bad. A couple of times I ran out and was a bit concerned. I didn't really trust the water fountains that were around, with the exception of a few. I will pay more attention to how much I take on a couple of the long...
Thank You Donna,
That was a wonderful blog and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I suspect I am going to have it on my phone for when I do it again in March. There are great tips there. Buen Camino SWSW
You are welcome....That was my lowest ebb! I am going again in March and will stop at the albergue when your first enter town! I love reliving the journey with you! Stephen Haig... aka... SWSW
bjorgts,
I am going to spain next March. I walked the CF in 2013 and VdlP in March 2015. I noticed your comment that you walked both and would have chosen to walk the VdlP. I would like to know why as I am in the process of trying to determine my starting point... Sevilla, malaga or granada.
I...
Hank!
Thanks for a wonderful half hour reliving the Camino. Outstanding! I loved every moment of it! Oh... has Amalia remained in your life?

This is helpful information for me as I too am making the trip from Canada (London, Ont.) to Seville a few days after you! Enjoy the trip... it is fabulous!

"Here we go again!"
I walked the VdlP in March and had a fabulous time! Recently, I mentioned to my baby brother (Tim) that I was thinking I would like to walk it again but funds were a little tight (as the Canadian dollar has tanked). He said he would fly me on his air miles... so, in no time...
For those thinking of the VdlP, here is a link to a video blog... some posts are interesting, some are really boring and some have problems with technology; my apologies in advance! If it helps... here you go: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn3O_a39Lc4fROcnEAGMG3A

What a great trip!
Well, I made it! After being anxious before I left, the walk was wonderful and free of significant problems. I met a lot of wonderful people and saw some amazing country.
Yes, the VdlP is a little more difficult in places but it has the benefit of being relatively free of that feeling of a...
Hi All!
I am the guy in the video (Slow Walking Stevie Wonder). Just yesterday I got back from a fabulous walk on the VdlP and found my face on this forum! I want to say Hi to Ed who was the one who had the idea to collect something to help Phillip. (in the video it sounded like it was partly...
Dear Helen and Ann,
Well, three weeks from today I will be heading to the airport to begin my VdlP adventure, so thought I would give you an update. It has been very cold and snowy here in Canada, so walking has been a problem. I have been walking when I can, but only about 16kms at a time...
Dear Helen and Ann,
Well my plans for the end of March are still in place... although my confidence is still a little rumpled. I arrive in Faro on March 25th and will make my way so Seville and will start from there on the 26th or 27th. We (in Canada) are in the midst of a deep freeze with...
Thank you all for your comments.
"Stage Fright"... yes, that accurately captures what I am feeling about my upcoming VdlP. I believe I can do it, although some of your experiences sound horrific! That is the Camino: "a box of chocolates"!
I look forward to seeing some of you (Helen and Ann) on...
