[QUOTE="Old Hillwalker, post: 691802, member: 10875"] Hello, my name is Thomas and I have traveled to Spain from Maine in the US every summer for the past 6 years. I walked the Camino Frances from SJPDP to Santiago in 2013 at the age of 73. In 2014 from Pau in France to Pamplona at 74 on the Camino Aragon, In 2015 I decided to section hike a part of the [I]Senda Pirenaica[/I], the Spanish GR11 which runs across the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean at 75. 2016 and in 2017, I went back to the GR11 for more section hikes of the Pyrenees at 76 & 77. This past spring I started walking the Camino del Norte in Irun at 78, however while walking through a vineyard on my 5th day walking I got dosed with a c,loud of agricultural spray and within 3 days developed severe pneumonia/lung infection. I caught the train from Deba to Bilbao and flew home. I'm planning to begin again from Deba in September and finish this possibly my last Camino at 79. God willing I will turn 80 while walking the Camino this coming autumn. [/QUOTE]
