I'm from Pambula and leave for my first Camino May 4th, very excited. I think I have everything I need, probably too much! Will soon find out. There is a really good training walk Tathra to Walagoot lake very up and down, a real test for get and knees.
That would be great, no doubt I will have lots of things to talk about, probably won't stop. Keep enjoying the journey.Thank you for the training tip. All my best wishes go with you. I would love to have a chat with you on your return.
Thanks Kanga, I am definitely happy to be doing the Frances this time but am already thinking of other ways for the future, this is certainly an addictive mind set and I am loving it, Buen Camino to you to.Welcome @4329barbara and Buen Camino! We are leaving Sydney on the 5th May so not far behind you, but we are walking the Norte and Primitivo route. The Camino Frances is definitely the way to go the first time.
I agree that Camino Frances is the way to go first. I walked it two years ago and going back at the end of April to walk from Le Puy to St Jean Pied de Port. Im excited!Welcome @4329barbara and Buen Camino! We are leaving Sydney on the 5th May so not far behind you, but we are walking the Norte and Primitivo route.

BTW, I live on the Far South Coast of NSW too. Potato Point.
I also have friends who dont understand why I want to do these walks. TheWe are blessed to live in a beautiful part of the world. Enjoy your walk, I'm excited for you too, sometimes I feel I could just jump up and down clapping my hands like a three year old, best not, they may try and get me medicated, or put away, some of my friends think I'm nuts already, they just don't understand it....we do!
Yes, I agree, I am going to go as slow as I need to and want to so that I can take in as much as possible, as I have already decided that I will be back to do the bits I may miss this time, either that or do a different path next time, or both.I also have friends who dont understand why I want to do these walks. The
walks are hard sometimes but so amazing!! I found that provided you go at your own speed...whatever that is..you will be fine. I met an 80 year old French woman who was doing it well!! Dont rush..make sure you give yourself plenty of time.
