You are being realistic.
Many women the same age has done the same. Alone. I myself have not walked the Pyrenees though, as I started in Roncesvalles, but I've seen many doing so.
Good Luck! Buen Camino.
:)
See what you mean, falcon, but what I meant was comparing it With "the living life". We all got a childhood, youth, we become Young adults, have children, and we get older. Stages of the lifes we' re living.
We still got a life after finished the Camino. For sure.
I also came to Close doors at the Rural there in 2008.
Thought I would walk on to Hontanas. It was too far for me though, so I spend the night at a very simple but oh so lovely albergue in San Bol.
Thanks for the warning, for NeXT time when I shall start my walk from Burgos.
Good idea to...
I am doing the Frances again, in stages.
Did that the first time too.
Finished it in october 2009, walked Roncesvalles-Burgos last october. Hope to continue in springtime.
Why? Don't know really.
It is a longing. Something that is hard to explain. Back to Peace and freedom I Guess. To good...
At one of my pilgrimages when I arrived in Astorga I had a briefly meeting with a Spanish local, but also a pilgrim, who told me that the part I had just walked represented the present and the problems I might be having right now.
Later I have heard about this divisions of the camino from...
I look foward to:

- see what I did not see walking into Puente la Reina, as I arrived by taxi last time
- see the poem on the wall (after Navarrette) one more time
- that the hen and the...
I am arriving Pamplona airport Tuesday 9th at 6.05 pm. Anyone else going to Roncesvalles at that time? Would be happy to share a taxi with someone ...! :)
I have the same "problem" as you, veggy, my plane will be landing in Pamplona at 6.05 pm, just not in time for the bus to Roncesvalles, where I have desided to start my camino this time ...
I thouht I will take a taxi though, and count it into my travel budget.
Anybody knows the cost of this...
I agree with jpflavin.
Next time I go (cause there must be a next time ... :) ) I will take a bus into and out of Leon. Maybe from Mansilla de las Mulas to Hospital de Orbigo (alternatively to Villadangos del Paramo). Much walking next to roads there (but not dangerous excactly, except for...
Here's another late 50 lady walking (alone) the portguguese way early September. Landing in Porto the 29th. of August.
I thought I would take a bus or a train to Barcelos and start there, as several people has given me that advice. The camino from Porto is on roads with heavy traffic for the...
Then my book concisting of short texts from the camino is out :)
But only in Norwegian.
(Ivar and Scandinavians: Have a look at The Albergue/Scandinavians on the camino forum, there's a link to the book's website. Well, here it is anyway: http://denvarmeveien.net/).
I have an idea of maybe get...
