Hi there - I am female, 60 years old and will be walking out of Astorga on the 16th Sept. Just wondering whether there is anyone else out there a little nervous of setting off alone and wanting a bit of company along the way? I do hope there is!!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
Don't worry about setting off on your own, you will soon meet others to walk with if you want to, but its also good to enjoy the peace of walking alone, and you will be unlikely to be out of sight of other pilgrims at that time of year if you are nervous
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
There will be three of us 59 going on 60 Loyola university friends who will be leaving from Astorga the morning of the 16th. So if you see 3 people stumbling along dazed and confused that will be us. Buen Camino and hope to run into you
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The walk out of Astorga is a gentle one along a tree-lined road which soon takes you out into the countryside with views ahead to the rising hills. You will find company and have some of the best Camino scenery as you cross by the Cruz de Ferro and down into Molinaseca...fantastic.. You will have a ball :)

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
Reposted from Wise Pilgrim comments, was hiking with this pilgrim. Don’t follow app,go just a bit further past to well marked turn, not the one with spray painted arrow on stop sign:
