Hi Susie,
I think we met on the Le Puy route in 2014. (Richard & Colleen from Victoria, Canada). We are thinking about doing this trip in the Fall of 2019. Did you post a blog or have you any advice to offer re stages, accommodation, etc. Did you enjoy it? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I used a hands-free umbrella on the VdlP this June and was very grateful to have it in the heat. It also served very well in the teeling rain on the last few days into Santiago. Definitely worth the extra weight imo! Love my Pacerpoles too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to wish us well. Did you phone ahead to book accommodation? How busy was it?
Also curious about the weather: how early did you start/when did you end your days ?
Starting Thursday, excited!

My husband and I are planning to walk from Salamanca or Zamora to Santiago in early June 2017. Hope to meet some of you along the way. Many thanks for the inspiring words and photos, shared tips and useful resources found here.
