Hi all
I'm so excited to put myself way out of my comfort zone and do the Camino solo in 2023 (looking at April/May, depending what route)

Due to work commitments, i can only really stretch the holiday to 3-3.5 weeks max

I would love some advice to the 3 possibilities i have come up with.

1. Camino France - this would be me pushing myself, carrying a day pack with essentials only and the rest being sent to ahead via the courier service. Some running involved and planned ahead. (Fit, currently trail run with 10kg weight vest)

2. Camino France - shorter route and go with the flow but i really want to do the complete route.

3. Camino Primitivo - carry everything and walk it unplanned.

Every holiday i been on was very well planned and organized with me brining excessive baggage hahaha

I'm really looking forward to the experience, and welcome any info, experiences and tips.

Thanks

All 3 sound great! Excited for you!

Remember that in those months the rain and slight cold can make an impact.

A friend and I are doing the Primitivo in May.

If you need a few more items, there are great luggage services available on both routes.

Buen Camino!!

Hi all

Apologies, got bogged down with a ton of work but i managed to still plan during any free time i got and the i have come to the conclusion that....

I'm starting at St Jean and I'm walking to Santiago, the rest will fall into place.
This will be a journey well beyond my comfort zone and I'm going embrace whatever it throws at me.

My first Camino was also well outside my comfort zone. Now the Camino IS my comfort zone.
