My 8yo is walking from Leon to Santiago starting on the 22nd. His sherpa dad me is also going.

We are raising money for hospices in Ireland, so if you see him on the trail maybe share a photo.

We are planning to walk this in 16 days from Valverde de la virgen past Leon to Santiago, exactly 300km.

It's Christophers 2nd Camino, he did it from porto last year. We are hoping we don't get the heat wave from last year, you can't plan for weather.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Would love to follow but I have signed out of facebook, so will just have to hope for a few photos. And you must be chuffed to the gills to be doing this!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Another one, year after year...
Phantastic, Christopher! And Dad! I have just sent the link to your post to my grandchildren. We intend to do your walk of last year next August - granny, two mums (my daughters) and five grandchildren, the youngest of whom is 11. So you will be a great inspiration for them!

Best of luck, courage, oh and reasonable weather, in short Buen Camino!

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Buen Camino, to Sherpa Dad and Christopher!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
