Hi Caroline, wow yes please. My husband and I will do our best to join you on that date. We’re down in Cornwall, so will travel up on the morning of the 9th. I walked the CF last year from SJPdP to Fisterre and my husband joined my in Leon. In Oct we worked at the Pilgrims Office in SJ and had...
Sometimes I think we read so much about the Camino that are expectations are too high, then when it doesn’t happen like we thought it would we come down to earth with a big bump! I expected to have this big Camino family when I walked the Frances last year, when in fact I spent many days walking...

I completely understand where you’re coming from as I went alone, but missed company along the way, especially during those special moments where you want to share your excitement. My husband enjoys walking but he would want to get from A to B as quickly as possible, where as I enjoy stopping to...
I completed the CF in July, and from the day I arrived in Fisterre I’ve wanted to go back and do it all over again. Every step was special and a memory I will carry in my heart forever.
