@niefia zupancic : I hope you are able to easily find people to walk with in all areas. I'm going to walk the exact same route, so really anxious. Would be great if you could post pictures. In every picture I see it is always a lonely route and barely a soul around...
Thank you @falcon269 for that sensible piece of advice. Here is my question, since this is crucial to my strategy. How well connected are the towns on the Camino Frances if I wanted to ride out one of my days? I'm sensibly chicken and if I don't find someone to walk with I won't think twice...
Since I have my itinerary here I thought I'd ask this question as well. Do you recommend hiking poles/sticks for this length of walk for someone whose knees seem ok so far?
Thank you Viranani for creating this thread. I'm leaving on July 4th. I too would like to walk with someone over the next 7 days to reach Santiago on the 10th.
Thank you everyone for your valuable input. I don't know why I was attracted to doing this walk, it's not something I had imagined doing. But I feel like I'm about to do something special.
:confused: What!!! :) Just kidding...sorry I was referring to the itinerary the tour company recommended for the self guided tour. I decided to do exactly that since I would much rather go for popular options rather than experiment with something I don't know in a new place.
I was just talking...
Thank you folks...I'm excited!!! I just hope I can drag myself through those 3 days with 23kms each (I planned my travels as per what the guided tour had promised...so I have to do it as per their schedule now otherwise I won't get to make my dates and bookings :-)
Oh well...
I'm a first timer and can only do the walk in July due to work and family restrictions. I wanted to go with a guided tour (yes I'm a wimp) but it seems the company I contacted doesn't have enough folks registering for a guided tour in July. Is it so hot that no one does July? Anyone here...
