I'm 70. I completed my second Camino in June though left from Pamplona instead of St Jean. I loved it more than my first, used pack transfer a lot, suffered less, fewer lost toenails and blisters, more sightseeing along the way, met some terrific people and got back home to Canada dreaming of...
I'm starting my second CF May 15 and have been wondering about how i might meet other Forum members on The Way. A thread directed me to the Forum patch which I just bought. So...I now have the Forum patch, the Canadian Company of Pilgrims patch and my flag patch. I'll be a walking patch...
I'm very interested in hearing about your Camino as you walk. I'm 70 too and will be doing my second Camino Frances in May/June. I plan to walk slow and walk it all. Buen Camino!

I have a bladder in my pack too but the weight is such a downside. So I'm going to use a Lixada Water Bottle set up on my next camino in May. $18 at Amazon. Worth a look.
Welcome to the Forum.
I did the Frances from SJPP for my 60th. The experience was absolutely soul captivating. I've lived lessons from that pilgrimage almost every day since, and I've decided to do it again for my 70th next June.
Buen camino. My advice? Train first, get some Injiji socks and a...
