I'm sure I had similar worries before I started but now my most vivid memory is the last week of my walk and being upset and very emotional because it was about to end and I wanted it to go on for ever.
This site has a map but not a very good one:

I agree with the previous comments and please don't be too proud to take the shuttle van over if the weather isn't perfect.(I did in an early april ice storm.) Don't want to scare you to death but I met two young English men who were rescued just before they expired in an early April storm they...

Welcome Marianna from a fellow Canuck. You will have the experience of a life time and meet lots of other young adults to share your experience with. Buen Camino !! :lol:

Re: Class of 2010 - Updating my previous post
My plans are to start walking La Voie du Puy from Le Puy-en-Velay on the first day of March. In an earlier post I said that I had planed to walk the Del Norte once I reached St-Jean-Pied-De-Port, this plan has changed, now I plan to walk to...
The day that we crossed the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port the weather was very poor with freezing rain at the top so we took the van ride with the backpacks that other braver pilgrims didn't want to carry. At the point where we crossed over into Spain the van was stopped by the Guardia...
Well Ivar your's is working much better than the competition . Your's streams live and theirs jumps changing the scene every few seconds. Now members of the forum will have to start using your camera like they do the one at the Irache wine fountain, people call home on their mobiles and wave to...
Thank you Gail so glad you enjoyed the DVD. I'm attaching an invitation to a luncheon that we are giving to wish this springs Pilgrims Bon Voyage and Buen Camino. Since you are going in the fall likely before our fall meeting I would like to extend an invitation for you to be our guest on April...
