    Getting Worried

    Hi! I am starting out from Seville on the 4th of April. I think these last minute jitters are normal, I had them before I walked my previous two Caminos, and everything seemed to fall into place nicely. Once you actually get there, and start walking, the worries drop away and you quickly...

    Camino Frances - September 2012

    New Pilgrim from Canada

    Re: Any Canadians? Starting from sjpdp Sept 03. Hi, I am planning to walk out of SJPP on Sept 8 2013, and based on my experience on my first Camino in 2009, you will come across lots of Canadians during your walk. Just look for the Tilley hats! Have a great walk, eh? :)

    Hello From down under

    Hello Mad Max, what an amazing thing you have already accomplished! With your determination and discipline the Camino will be a breeze. I am starting ahead of you by three days, but I am 60 so you will likely catch up to me! Look for a puffing canuck in a Tilley hat! All the best for a...

    September Starters

    Hi! I cannot believe I leave for the Camino exactly 6 weeks today! Seems like yesterday that I was lying in bed with a bad cold ( that was in March) , leafing through books and dreaming of the Camino, which then seemed so long in the future. I leave Canada on Sept 7 for Biarritz, and hope to...

    I am walking the Camino late Sept and hoping to finish up by first week of November. I would be happy to hear from anyone else walking in this time period. The only thing I am still trying to figure out is the weather, I have heard a lot of conflicting messages regarding what to expect. I...
