Thank you for such a thoughtful reply. I think, for me, I understand this next journey won't be like my first - although I wouldn't want it to be. My first Camino was this beautiful, difficult, maddening, and inspiring once in a lifetime experience. I'm treated this one like another one-off...
Yeah down to St Mont Michel, then a hybrid of other routes and onto the Camino Norte. I'll likely switch to the Primitivo towards the end. I made a little animation of it here;
I'm not sure why I felt compelled to write something here though I feel as though others will relate to this. I will be leaving from Dublin via ferry to Cherbourg and walking over 1500km until I reach Santiago. This journey begins in a little over ten weeks from now and makes up the first...
Statistically, probably the drive to the airport.
On the Camino itself, the biggest danger is exposure. Cold weather at high altitude, Hot Weather in the Meseta as examples.
Thanks for the reply. Having walked both, what would your recommendation be? I've walked the Frances previously and I think there is some overlap with the routes - I'd have to say the last stretch from Sarria was not my favourite part of the Camino although after walking the guts of 1500km...
Thank you for such useful pieces of advice. I would love the opportunity to stay with locals or families so I'll check that out. If you are anywhere along my route, let me know and I'll meet you and your husband for a coffee!
Thanks for the reply mate. I'm lucky in Ireland that there is an acceptance of wild camping that doesn't seem to be the case elsewhere in Europe. What am I looking at budget-wise for campsites?
I completely get what you mean. I loved every moment of the CF - it was like a nomadic community that reunites every day.
I'm definitely torn - I'd like the experience of the coast but I'm aware that 30 days through France followed by the Norte could be quite lonely 😂
This is class mate - thank you so much. While I have you...what were you looking at budget wise in completing these sections?
I guess I'm hoping to wild camp where I can get away with it to make up money for accommodation when I can
Hi everyone,
What's the craic? My name is Chris - from Ireland and currently planning my 2nd Camino. The plan is to walk from my front door to Dublin Port, hop on a ferry to Cherbourg, walk through France, and onward to Santiago via the Camino Norte.
In Summer 2022, I had an amazing time...
Hi everyone
My name is Chris, I'm 29 and from just outside Dublin, Ireland. I'll be leaving SJPDP on 1st July and doing the Camino solo. Anybody else in the same boat on the same date?
Let me know and we'll grab a coffee ☕️
