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!!

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
 
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

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
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 :)
