[QUOTE="mgnswaus, post: 783582, member: 12856"] In my mid 70s, I walked from Le Puy for the second time, beginning late April this year, with all accommodations booked. Reading your post, I was immediately plunged back into the identical space and similar experiences in and with which you have been finding yourself. I sympathise as it can be a very lonely place, even around a crowded, noisy table, and I have some French. The journey to Conques is ‘notorious’ for the number of groups, large and small, undertaking this section. Until considerably further on, a significant proportion of walkers are ‘on holiday’; their focus is not SdC or SJPdP. I hadn’t fully understood this which is why the energy and lack of connection is so ‘uncaminolike’. You are now at the beginning of my favourite part of the GR65. Take heart. You will be blessed with stunning views as far as the eye can see for the remainder of the first third and before you begin the middle section. Here, the view becomes ‘small’ and, as with the Frances, it’s a time for contemplation. After Moissac, the energy will change again and there are many more pilgrims as opposed to recreational walkers and the Camino feeling and energy lifts noticeably. It is an amazing route. It’s challenging on so many levels, but oh so satisfying. Hang on in there. If I can support you in any way, please PM me. [/QUOTE]
