    I am cheering him on!

    So will I! I’m 81 and would love to do the Portuguese. Did the Francis in 2017. Was thinking I’m too old. Hope Pete can keep us up to date with his walk.

    So long old friend,

    Walked from st j p de p to Santiago 5 years ago at 75. How I wish I had started earlier! Keep thinking when can I do the Portuguese. But 5 years older and a sick husband reality is setting in. I just read about and enjoy those who are walking now. But I am jealous!

    So long old friend,

    Oh dear. ‘So long old friend’ tugs my heart. I walked the Frances in 2017 with my daughter at 75. Had the Portuguese on my list. To do it alone or with the grandkids If possible. (I think it would be so good for them). But with Covid, sick husband and at 80 I don’t think I will make it. I...

    30 days - from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago - is it possible without stress?

    I personally would want to start at st Jean. I walked at 75 years old and bussed the Meseta from Burgos to Leon. Did it in 31 days. Just go and watch the dates. Bus a section if you have to. No need to have it set in cement! Camino provides.

    Water Discussion (I thought you might like a laugh)

    I just took an ordinary plastic bottle of water purchased in a shop. Plenty of places to top it up. Wish I was going again! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    St Jean. Walked it at 75. Gasping but made it. Would do it again.

    Walk the Portuguese or Francés in terms of safety (solo female)?

    Walked the Frances some years ago with my daughter and was advised to wear a whistle around our neck. Blowing it alerts others to come running and scares off potential offenders. Never had to use it but just a thought for you.

    No going back now!!!

    I walked with my daughter in 2017. Me at 75 she at 53. She was always way ahead of me. Out of sight most days. But oh how good to turn up and see her sitting outside a bar with beer or wine waiting for me! I said how do you know I haven’t fallen over, got lost or whatever? She said she...

    Which Camino for my 80th year?

    Am so pleased to read all these posts. I was looking forward to walking the Portuguese at 80 next year but was reconsidering due to illness. In fact had really decided I shouldn’t go. (It’s a long flight from Australia also). I now have renewed hope and determination thanks to all your...

    Charming Camino Vinto Tinto Logo

    The label is worth the cost of the bottle! Don’t drink it, put it in the cellar with all the other collectables. 🍷

    I am leaving. Not Forum just yet, but Camino.

    I cannot write anything better than what has already said David. But I do hope that in 2022 when I’m 80 and walking the Camino again I meet you on the path and we have a wine together. And you will say....well, I changed my mind and here I am! I did not know of your eBay store. I hope I can...

    Shopping (some regret)

    Not sure if these pics will turn out I’m not good at this. But the cook book is excellent (I don’t cook but it looks good on the table!) and the other is also. Author has drawn pics throughout.
