Hi All,

Since I have some spare time before my next leg of University will be doing the Camino on May 16th then will be heading up England way after and doing Hadrian's wall.

Will be solo if anyone starting then.

Cheers.

I am interested to see how I do on this. I will have to carry a bit of extra weight with a tent and a bit more gear as I am going to do Hadrian's Wall (England - 7 days) after, then West Highland Way (Scotland - 7 days), then the Westweg Schwarzwald (Germany - 13 Days).

Welcome Rometimed, you could always post your extra gear ahead to Ivars parcel storage in Santiago, this should lighten your load a bit and your back and legs will thank you for every gram saved.

Interesting idea, remember though I am quite young at 31 and hike an hour and a half every other day in mountains. The physical part I think i'll be fine with, even with a couple lbs extra weight. The thing that's challenging on the Camino to me is the being away from my regular routine and the interesting aspect is all the others on their own adventures.

I know some have done the Camino there and back on routes... has anyone one back to back different routes?

I might try to do the French route, then a couple months later swing back and do the Silver Route from Grenada.

Update!

I head off to Paris tomorrow and am driving around Northern France for 10 days checking out Normandy and then over to Belgium and the Somme region.

Will train down to Saint Jean Pied de Port on May 15th, booked into Orisson for the 16th.

Have left 37 days to finish the Camino, maybe head over to Muxia then get down to Porto.

I was going to make a video on what I was packing but a few things I wasn't sure on until even today (cut out 3 lbs today).

Will have to do a video late this year when i'm back from all these walks.

Will try to do a semi daily update too around here.

Cheers all! Buen Camino!
