    Camino Primitivo - Scared of Heights

    Not at all from memory. I walked it 18 months ago aged 67.

    Rain...rain pants?

    I have walked 21 caminos all over Europe. So far I have only ever worn shorts or 3/4 pants. In height of summer, I use Sea to Summit poncho, super light. In Spring or Autumn Altus Light. I like the cool rain on my legs and they dry fast. Once I used a gortex jacket and pack cover. Hated that...

    Senior Walking the Portuguese Coastal Route in the Rain: Advice Needed

    I would wear gortex shoes. I always do, as I don't like wet feet. It works well for me. I walked the route from Porto last year aged 67. It is very easy.

    Thank you so very much for your reassurance. It is new territory for me. I saw bear prints ion the San Salvador, but didn't worry, as there were 3 of us.

    Ok. I struggled with the amount of roadwalking on the Vezelay Route this year...how feasible is the Gulbransleden for a mature 69 year old, average fitness person???

    Thank you so much! Very valuable advice Doug. I walked the Vezelay Route this year...not my favourite, too much road walking and very flat, some sad villages and towns, but fab pilgrim accommodation. Dogs were troublesome at times.

    Hi. I am considering this for July next year, solo. Is it good, I am scared about possible bear encounters. What about weather and packing list? Usually organise my own accommodations. Can I wing it with accommodations or should I use Nordic Pilgrim service? Would love some input. Thank you!

    Send me a private message. Only just saw your post. I got back from walking Vezelay Route on Monday and very jet lagged. I can easily help you.
