Nuremberg - Santiago - Finisterra -Starting the end of April 2024
The map through Germany to Bodensee looks amazing. Thank you for sharing. Does anyone know if there are markers along the way from the start in Nuremberg? I don't expect yellow arrows painted on buildings, but brass markers in the street or signposts along the way? Or would one only have this...- Kathy F.

Nuremberg - Santiago - Finisterra -Starting the end of April 2024
I live about an hour from Nuremberg and am very interested in your plan and your progress. I remember clearly the first official scallop shell Camino signpost I saw, about 3 months before the start of my first Camino, in Rothenberg. Where in Nuremberg will you start from?- Kathy F.

Hello
Elke, it's so nice to have you as part of our group! Welcome. You will find MANY here who have been in similar situations, both physically and mentally. Do not look at your limitations. Look at your abilities. Your age is not a limitation. Your knee is not a limitation. If you can walk from...- Kathy F.

New and no clue
Annie, you know I agree with you! It doesn't matter! I think there are MANY good reasons to not carry your own backpack, as many as there are pilgrims. Perhaps there is only one poor reason to not carry your backpack - fear. Just thinking, and honestly no judgement to OP. I hate young, strong...- Kathy F.

Old-ish solo lady
Rockinrev, welcome to the Forum!! Congrats on having a start date in mind. Have you watched "the movie," yet? It might inspire you, and this is the place to ask all questions and get tons of answers - often conflicting (haha). I just finished my 3rd Camino, solo, as an out-of-shape 70+ year...- Kathy F.

Hello all, Planning for an Old Guy to walk the Camino Sept. 2023
Welcome to the forum, you will get advice ad nauseam here, from people like me! Do you plan to start from San Jean Pied de Port (SJPdP), like in the movie? Trust me, age is not a factor - you will find many pilgrims your age and older. Train comfortably, but don't be surprised or depressed...- Kathy F.

Newbie here!
1. This is a great place to start, and welcome. 2. Don't confuse your U.S. passport with a "pilgrim" passport. The US passport is an official document that you need to travel. The pilgrim passport is an unofficial document that you use to collect rubber stamps from restaurants, bars, churches...- Kathy F.

What happened to Forum member Alexwalker?
Alexwalker, I have missed you and I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles. I just turned 71 and broke my leg 6 weeks after finishing my latest Camino. I pretty much feel your pain. Nevertheless, to the chagrin and knowing shrugs of my family and friends, I am still looking forward to my next...- Kathy F.

First Camino - Overwhelmed!!!
Yes, I understand. They always seemed clumsy, unnecessary, noisy (click, clack, click, clack . . . ), extra weight I wouldn't need. On the advice of members on this forum whose opinions I respected, I bought a pair for my first Camino and brought them, planning to fold them and pack them away...- Kathy F.

First Camino - Overwhelmed!!!
Welcome and Buen Camino! I envy your excitement mixed with dread as you get ready for your first Camino. I've done 3 now and, although I look forward to each one, the anticipation of that first one is incomparable. You've come to the right place for information and advice. Even experienced...- Kathy F.

No Camino for me now🥲🥲
Wow! A bummer! I’m really sorry to hear about this. Something you anticipate and prepare for such a long time suddenly goes south. As others have said, the Camino will be there waiting for you. How sweet that Camino will be!- Kathy F.

Help suggest a route for a Camino Newbie - 18 Oct -20 Nov
On Sunday, I'll start the CP from Porto. It will be my third, and definitely shortest, Camino. I think I'm going to walk the Central the whole way, depending on how I feel - if I feel good, I may do the Spiritual. I like your suggestion that it took you guys 12 days, that's about what I'm...- Kathy F.

Departing May 13, 2023
Welcome, JustJack! I am very happy and excited for you, finally getting your first Camino on track. I won't offer specific advice on airlines or schedules - this is being well covered by others here. However, I would offer this bit of advice, especially for a first time pilgrim. One of the...- Kathy F.

First time questions
100% of the young, fit people I saw who had problems with their knees, walking, tendonitis, etc. had one thing in common. They did not have walking poles (until it was too late). I highly recommend using them from beginning to end.- Kathy F.

May 29 start date (Lourdes)
I did my second Camino in 2015 from Lourdes, to SJPdP, then onto SdC. I plan to do my next, in the Fall, from Lourdes through the Somport Pass, onto Puenta De la Reina, etc. My second, from Lourdes, was very quiet. I also started in May. There were VERY few pilgrims - I usually had entire...- Kathy F.

Starting Camino Frances end of August - seeking travel companion
Your husband, what a sweety!! There are how many hundred thousand people a year walking the Camino? You will not be alone. Remind him you will take all necessary safety precautions, you are a big girl, you've managed to survive this long (how old are you, anyway?). On the emptiest parts of the...- Kathy F.

start vdlp postponed
I'm very sorry to her about your father-in-law. Of course, family comes first. The Camino will be there for you when you are able. Don't worry about having to change arrangements at the last minute, if that is a concern. All is happening as it should. I am saying a prayer for your father-in-law...- Kathy F.
