We begin our first Camino august 14, very excited and anxious at the same time, packing our bag, level of fitness, weather, etc etc. Any advice very gratefully accepted. Pack is about 10percent of my body weight. Sleeping bag liner only. Our group 2 middle aged couples and our 26yr old son. Cant wait!!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Camino Frances, (September 2014); Camino Primitivo (August 2016)
Hi, Doddy! I'm wishing you and your fellow pilgrims the best! I walked my first camino two years ago (with lots of encouragement from the forum) and will begin walking the Primitivo just after the 14th. My preparations are underway, too. I will be walking with a friend I met on my first day walking the Frances route out of SJPP. I hope you have an amazing adventure.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Hi Doddy, hope the Camino brings to you what you expect from it.
Wish you all a wonderful journey and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Hi Doddy,
I too am starting on the 14-Aug-2016!
I'll be leaving from St. Jean, what about ye? Hope you enjoy it if I don't run into you.
My first time also so not 100% sure on what to expect. I find this site and the people on it is a big help
Buen Camino!
Patrick

I'm starting on the 15th but from Pamplona and shall look like this to you - as you stride past slow down and say Hi!
