The excitement is on the rise.

[trevorcc]

Well I am down to 55 days before I leave for Valencia and my feelings are the same as 2013, Nervous, Excited, Happy and a little scared but I know I must not have any expectations and after 2 previous Camino's I know that the Camino will look after me. I am starting to go over my pack and throw out the things that are not required.......just so happy to so near.

 

[Mike Savage]

That is so exciting. I am happy for you!

Buen Camino!

Me too! Just finally got round to gathering my things in my new backpack. It'll be my 3rd CF and my 5th pilgrimage and I am as excited - and scared - as if it was my 1st!

Hey Domigee, when are you walking? Do say 'Hi' when you see me snailing along... I have a green Osprey Exos with embroidery....! Will take a pic when I find my camera!

Hi! I also have a green Exos Osprey but no embroidery....

 

[AcrossTheWater3008]

@domigee

BTW many congratulations on your many Caminos and pilgrimages... I am impressed! About the embroidery, I wanted something that reflects me in my unique way!

Buen Camino!

 

[domigee]

@AcrossTheWater3008 You won't be impressed when you see me huffing and puffing in the slightest hill saying (expletives deleted!) 'why am I doing this?'

Hi, trevorcc,

How fitting is it that this is the first post I see as I log in from home, jet lagged and back in the US, after 6 weeks on the camino! One camino ends, another inches towards the starting line, it's a neverending cycle. One of our forum members, who was at Tertulia last week, had just finished the Levante and had an amazing camino. He's headed to Italy now for a few months, so I'm not sure if he will be logging in before you head out. But I will try to get in touch with him if you have questions that a recent peregrino could answer. I can tell you he met only one walker and four cyclists till he hit the Sanabres, but you are already ready for that.

Buen camino, Laurie

@domigee

Haha...! You will be more impressed with my heavy breathing and panting whilst going up and downhill...... and, trying hard not to swear in polite company!

Hi Laurie, so good to hear from you, well each day it inches closer, I will be reporting each day if possible on my facebook with pictures, so if you use it I am down as Trevor Cowan-Clark. I hope my photos bring back some great memories for you as I will be heading down to Portugal after Santiago do the walk out as I have 3 months. Thanks for your warm regards.

Just smile and go with the flow, don't forget to stop and look back and say to yourself Wooo I just walked that as the view back sometimes is more impressive than the hill forward. Buen Camino.

Anyone out there walking the Levante, keep an eye out for this Old fella stop have a chat, a laugh and if you see me sitting on a rock crying its okay I am so happy to be able to do it, the only weight I carry is my memories of friends. Oh my pack is an Osprey Talon 44.

 

[AZgirl]

Wishing you a wonderful Camino, can't wait to hear about it!

 

[sitges54]

What size Exos are you carrying?

 

[trevorcc]

I am carrying a Talon 44 this year trying to keep the weight down.

Good man Trevor..it's 50 days before I start my Camino Finisterre and I can feel the excitement kick in already. I can't believe it's nearly 2 years since we had that great meal in St Jean before the start of our Caminos in 2014.

Two years of planning my next trip (2016) also a I had the trip paddling down the Murray river here in Oz 500k,s but that was to hold me over till this year and the Levante followed by the Portugesse. I hope you are well and maybe we will cross paths again on another camino

I have no doubt our paths will cross at some stage.

 

[Bad Pilgrim]

Nice,

But have you decided if you will go on to the Sanabrés or reach the Camino Francés? Or something else?

Woke up this morning and as I sat on the bed edge the first thing I saw was my backpack in the early morning light that I had packed last night with my old friends my walking poles and for a brief moment, I was already on the Camino. It took me a few seconds to remember where I was and then went to the kitchen to make Jane a cup of coffee. As I fly out in 3 days I felt sad to be leaving my best friend for three months but it she who supports me and knows the love I have walking the Camino even though she does not understand it fully, Someday, somewhere, you said hello,
And walked into my life
Painted all my world in blue,
Made my life a dream come true. Thanks now its off to meet new friends .

Hi Trevor,
Best wishes for a wonderful camino. I look forward to your comments during the walk, and a catch up when you get back
