Thanks for starting this thread. I look forward to following your trip. I would be coming close the end of the del Norte right about now as my first Camino were it not for C19. I am hoping to walk next year at this time.
Wishing you the best.

Threads like this one on the Forum help me keep my dream alive of walking a Camino one day and perhaps having the pleasure of meeting some of you out on the trail. That would be an utter...

What am I reading....... this forum.
Every day.
It's helping me keep my dream alive and I am continually astounded by the level of content.
It's deep, informative, sad, funny and incredibly erudite.
I don't mind at all that it gets a bit heated at times as that makes it more authentic to me

This is where I am forced to take my self isolation.
It's just me and my dog Penny.
Actually I self isolate quite frequently.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply.
Yes, this will make us stronger and more resilient and hopefully engender more appreciation and gratitude.
I am seeing this as all part of my (first) Camino and I am certainly most appreciative of the fellowship on this forum right now.
This is by far my favorite thread.
Such beautiful people.
It moved me to tears.
I do so hope to meet some of these folks one day.
My first Camino was planned for June this year....
The Camino has be gently calling me for many years now and when my daughter announced her intention to get married in late July this year in the Pyrenees Mountains to her Spanish partner it seemed like perfect timing for my first camino. I booked tickets from Australia for 1 June to walk del...
Thanks Kanga. I may take you up on your offer as I get closer to my fly date.
I felt my Camino 'kick in' a few days after I booked my flight. It has definitely started.
I have been having walking dreams at night and it is never far from my consciousness during the day.
I am pretty excited.
