    Camino Pre-Planning - Backpack or luggage?

    This is late in getting back to you - sorry - but wanted to share my story. I walk alone and will walk my 5th camino this April. I'm walking this time in memory of my husband who recently died. He was a special man. About your pack - I usually walk with a pack, but have on one camino used a...

    Camino Ingles

    I walked it in October - My advice is to be prepared with water and food. Unlike the CF, it's sparse when it comes to cafes and watering holes. I was surprised too that there were so many hills. I shouldn't have been, but was....have a great time - really pretty scenery on the ocean.

    Solo older woman?

    I'd like to join in these comments. I walked this April the Camino Francis, alone, and I'm 71. I loved it. Just as stated above, there are times to be alone and times to be with others. I never felt threatened. Totally agree with comments about a physical. My husband's cardiologist...
