    Anyone walked the Frances in May?

    Oh great Adrienne - don't walk too fast then! We may well meet up as I hear it might be worth bussing a couple of days before Leon 😉

    Anyone walked the Frances in May?

    That seems like some very good advice to me! Also like the sound of staying in places in between the popular stops for other pilgrims, especially as I won't have a camino 'family' at that stage of my journey!

    Anyone walked the Frances in May?

    I'm also starting my camino in Burgos on 11 May and travelling alone. Having watched BK Lee's video of leaving Burgos early in the morning gave me a mini anxiety attack. Up this street, down that street, across there, over there. I vowed I'd have to lurk outside my hotel until I see someone...

    Thanks very much. Point taken about Leon too!

    I think that would be a little ambitious for me to be honest. I don't have that degree of fitness! I'll just start off in Burgos and see how I go day by day. I wouldn't be worried if I had to taxi here and there :)

    Sandals.

    I bet they're Keens Whispers or something similar. Not a thing of beauty but bloody comfortable, dry quickly, lightweight with great grippy soles, easy to put on and if you do a complicated foot wobble you can shake any loose stones out and burn some calories at the same time! My husband and I...

    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    I have yet to walk the camino but I've seen so much graffiti on YouTube videos and people's pics and while I hate it and would never ever do this personally I don't believe that hanging, drawing and quartering and casting out of this individual is the answer either. I hate seeing graffiti in...

    What is a Pilgrim/What is a Pilgrimage?

    I've been so excited about my trip but your post actually made me feel very sad. I am walking the Camino Frances in May and I don't think of myself as a pilgrim on a religious pilgrimage. I'm going on a grand adventure to Spain! All by myself with my backpack, and it's by far the biggest thing...

    I would LOVE to do that!! How best to donate the night?

    Too true. I have to be practical. I know people get to love their camino families and it's hard to say goodbye etc but I have to think about the fact it's my big trip and it's all about me! More and more I'm being drawn to the idea of starting in Burgos on 13 May and then walking the whole...

    Oh and it's my birthday on 24 May which I would spend in Burgos...... not sure if this is good or bad?

    Yes jsalt - this idea kind of resonates with me. I'm thinking I might do all the first part, especially starting off at SJPDP as this is something I always thought about. And I've paid for my night at Orisson already. A good excuse to come back and finish the camino later x

    Thanks Old Kiwi - you're very kind. I'll definitely give you a call :) Thanks Trecile. Yes I get that it would be nice to walk continuously especially given the whole 'camino family' thinking too. I'm feeling pretty torn about it tbh. Of course I could just start in St Jean and see where the...
