The vanguard of our porters. The others carrying the furniture, refrigerators, air conditioners and chests have fallen behind. They cost us a fortune because we had to supply them all with a "I walked across Spain with Rick and Peg and all I got was this lousy tee shirt" tee shirt.
@Stellaluna I just had a mild freak out when I saw the photo, not keen on walking with the crowd. We are walking from Leon 3rd of May so fingers and toes crossed that the traffic will be a little less.
Thanks, Rick and koilife,
That's reassuring. I did expect these kinds of crowds for the last 100km but was worried that it might be similar along the whole of the Camino.
Also, Rick, how did you find the July heat? As a winter-loving Canadian that worries me a bit as I will be leaving in early-July.
I hiked in July and never saw anything remotely like that. I'd normally do around 30km to 40km per day...starting around 5:00. I'd grab lunch and most people would stop for the day and I'd soldier on...every afternoon I had the Camino all to myself...I very rarely saw other peregrinos.
