Camino Francés March-April (2020)
Hi all,
Since returning from our last family camino in 2015 we have been dreaming of returning. I’m so thrilled to share that we are now planning a return camino in 2020. We also have a different family composition now, with another new baby in the mix, making it 6 children now ranging from 1 year old to 20 years old. My eldest will celebrate her 21st somewhere around Logroño (after celebrating her 16th in El Burgo Ranero).

We are planning on getting a mini foldable stroller this time to partner with our carrier for our youngest.

So excited to share this news with the community!

Hi Paul! I can see your exitement - my children are offering me a family camino for my 80th birthday next year! At Easter we will start from Mondoñedo to Santiago. We, that is my three children with their spouses and all seven grandchildren (7 - 19).

WOW! I am impressed!

What a capstone to a life well lived. Go for it!

Embrace all that life has to offer. And stay as vertical as you can for as long as you can...

Buen Camino to you all!
 
How exciting and what a wonderful experience to share with your kids. Will you be doing the Francés again? PM me if you are as I would love to have you stay with me.

Ultreia!
 
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.

To the family with six childrem...amazing!
To the 80 year old gal and family...super amazing!
Buen Camino to all of you!

I wonder what Paul and his family will be hatching when he gets to 80. My first camino was at 70. You have so much more time ahead of you, Paul! Make the most of it!
 
I am so impressed. I (at 63) am planning my first Camino. I have six children but the thought of keeping track of them and the grandchildren would make this a lot more daunting. Hats off to both Paul and Pelerine.
Buen camino
 
How utterly fabulous. I love that walking is something that can be done with a wide range of ages.
