    Travel from CDG to SJPP - overwhelmed & would like advice!

    when youarrive at CDG you will have to go to a different train station to get the train to Bayonne, Gare Montparnase, easiest way is to take the number 4 coach from CDG to Montparnase, it's a coach which just goes a circuit of all train stations in Paris, its name is "the Bus Direct" its easy...

    Leaving on my first Camino in the morning & I'm terrified. Please help!

    give it a go and see what developes, perhaps you have been training too hard, perhaps there is a bit of the psychology mixed in with it all, 2 years planning etc and the day is upon you, the mind is a powerful thing, try it and see buen camino

    Looking to walk in Spring.

    I walked it in 2015 I had one day it rained and the rest was in the 30s! buen camino

    Traveling alone.

    Lots of people have the same feelings as you - so don't feel alone in that way! You walk alone but you are never "on your own" don't feel you are isolated you are never more than a few minutes from other Pilgrims who are always open to company. buen camino

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    It's been said before but do get your weight of back pack down to below 10km, a must!!!! last year I went 42 km in one day, because I was enjoying myself and lost track of time! Buen Camino

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    I am in my 60 s and found that I was going a lot more than a lot of younger pilgrims!!

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    I am 63, I have done the camino twice and hope to make 3 in May. I have dodgy knees and have Parkinsons disease. Now if I can do it, so can you! It is not a race, don't think you have to do so many km in a certain time,enjoy yourself, rest when you feel like and don't forget, a long distance...

    This is an interesting idea for saving some ounces and grams.

    I hope you all think that I am a bit of a downer here but if you want to cut your 'walking weight' why not just go on a diet for a week or so before you go?

    Curious about achievability of Camino at 50, slow walker

    I have done the Frances twice in the last 3 years and will do it again in May this year, I am 63, dodgy knees due to my job and have Parkinsons disease, if I can do it, so can you! Just take it easy, it's not a racee, listen to your body and enjoy the experience !! Buen Camino

    First Camino, throw some advice my way

    Relax! it is not a race, listen to your body, if you are tired - stop and rest!! enjoy the walk, don't get so focused that you miss all the things which make the Camino so special, namely the people! Buen Camino
