Totally off the weather subject, but I too am walking LePuy to Conques starting May 7. Weather not so much a concern as the greeting. Walked Frances last year and loved all the Buen Camino's from fellow pilgrims. What do you say in France?
Welcome. La tulipe. I walked the Frances last year age 70. Hardest, yet best thing I've ever done. Planning to walk part of the Le Puy route this year. Go at your own pace and you won't have a problem.
Finished in April, and still follow the forum every day. I am an addict.
Planning to walk the CP in April next year.
It's been the best thing I've ever done.
My son, age 44, and I walked the CF from Cebriero to Santiago in April, Vasah. It's the best gift I've ever received. I'm sure you feel the same about your camino with your son.
I didn't fall in love on the camino, but it certainly puts you in a loving frame of mind. I did walk with a fellow for some while and have thought of him often since I returned home. Sigh.....
I'm proud to say I was one of them, John. My son and I arrived on April 19 having started in O Ceberiero on April 12. It's the best thing I've ever done, and I miss it already.
Another poem for your journey, Heidi
Up-Hill
by Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow, dark hours...
Annie, what kind of jacket would you recommend for mid April. We're starting from O'Cebriero April 12. I don't want to take too much, but I hate to be cold!
My son is 44. When he told me he wanted to walk with me, I was elated. It's the most wonderful gift a child can give a parent - their time. We start our journey the morning of 12 April.
