    Recommendations on different routes

    I walked the Camino Frances last September-October and want to do another Camino.. Obviously! I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on other routes to do? Norte, Portugues, Plata? I really enjoyed the lush, green sections of the Frances and would like to do another Camino. I am...

    Clothing in September

    Aliwalks I would recommend taking a little bit of everything during that time of year. It was so unpredictable for me last September-October and I was so happy that I brought long pants, shorts, long sleeves, and t-shirts. Good luck and Buen Camino!

    Camino Frances in September !

    September is such a beautiful time on the Camino Frances! I got back from my first Camino last year September and absolutely loved it! There was plenty of sunshine, wind, and rain! I am planning a second Camino now. Any recommendations on different routes?

    3.5 Weeks Away from My Camino...Packing Items/ Weight...Is 8.5 Kg a lot?

    Nice list Dan. It's good that you are very thorough for the right gear, etc. My only suggestion would be to ditch a lot of your tech gear and pack more socks! The Camino is such a spiritual journey and should have all of your attention! Besides that, great list. I would also recommend doing a...

    Having troubles....

    Tyrrek, If I don't do this later this month, I will in fact do it next Spring. I chickened out last year May and have been regretting that for some time now. I guess I was just reaching out to the Camino community for some sort of advice. Thanks for your words, Charlie

    Having troubles....

    Thanks Alan! My dad would want me to go on this trip;I know he would! We spoke several times about the trip and he always told me to go for it and never look back! It's just hard getting over things in your head.... it plays games as you know. Keeping good vibes. Thanks for the kind words!

    The Best Bits to Miss!

    Hi Rambler1959, I am new to the Camino and plan on walking this September. Is 20km/day pretty tough? I've never walked that far before I don't think...

    Hey there, I walked the Camino and filmed it for my fellow pilgrims

    Tamsin EB, I really enjoyed your videos! It was awesome to see all the emotions and feelings from walking the camino. I am hoping to walk in September and am pretty nervous to be honest. Thanks for posting and feel free to give any advice to this hopeful first-timer. Thanks again, Charlie

    Thanks Phillypilgrim, I don't want to sound like a big baby, I just have my fears and anxiety over being in a foreign country by myself. Thanks for your words and encouragement. Charlie California

    Fear

    Hilda, I too am scared about walking my first Camino. I want to go by myself too, but am worried about getting sick, lost, being homesick, etc! You are not alone!
