Hello Chris,
What a terrible thing you are suffering, the camino is a great place for reflection and mourning.
I walked my first Camino in Spain (Camino Frances) 4 years ago after my only adult son had had horrendous treatment for cancer over 12 months and I needed to give us both space to move...
I also have friends who dont understand why I want to do these walks. The
walks are hard sometimes but so amazing!! I found that provided you go at your own speed...whatever that is..you will be fine. I met an 80 year old French woman who was doing it well!! Dont rush..make sure you give...
I agree that Camino Frances is the way to go first. I walked it two years ago and going back at the end of April to walk from Le Puy to St Jean Pied de Port. Im excited!
BTW, I live on the Far South Coast of NSW too. Potato Point.
I am planning on walking from Le Puy to St Jean next May/June 2015 with a friend. Do people who have walked this route feel it is necessary to book accommodation in advance or is it OK just to wing it?
