    First Camino - Nervous and with questions about the start

    Book beds until Pamplona if you can and are happy with the distances involved. Start walking when you want ( I also walk early ) you won't always get a lay in with Albergue noise. You can't help but meet fellow pilgrims, many of whom will be a bit nervous and first timers you will be fine...

    Switching between variants at El Burgo Ranero

    Romans were all about organization, not footwear :P I like doing the Calzadilla route, might not be much to see or do, but there are definitely less people about so that may be a plus to some of us

    Outdated credential

    Lots of people cannot do a full camino in one go due to work, home and other issues and subsequently have credencials that span many years. you will be fine

    Guides in Nepal

    I have read that the regional government for the Everest region has opted not to implement the new regulation. I'd make sure before heading out / planning though

    Camino Frances Social Dynamics

    Groups form everywhere there are people on their own. I'd go a bit further to say that it's more likely to happen if people do have a shared goal and are nervous of their surroundings or far outside their comfort zone

    Training with Weighted Vests

    Yep , train with the pack you will be wearing IMHO. I could put mine on now after nearly 18months of not having it on and feel the bite where the straps dig in :) Get used to wearing the shoes, your pack with some decent weight and a few hills ( and ear plugs ) :P

    Advice… please… 🙏🏻 (About starting time each day)

    My standard advice for any first timer is to book Roncesvalles ( 1st night for most ) and either Zubiri or Larosoanna for the second night. After that you should find yourself learning as you go... how far you want to walk per day... where you might end up .. will you need to reserve ?? will...

    What are most people finding as the daily expense of a 2-3 month Camino walk?

    I was doing my math at the start of the thread and came to the sums of 35 a day for 2-3 months on the Frances ( from my experience) would be minimum 60 days to 90 days @ 35€ = 2100-3100 ish Knowing that outside the CF route or Spain, those numbers could climb sharply It's good to try and be...
