    Via de la Plata - March 16, 2022

    Hi Gareth I will be a couple of weeks ahead of you starting from Seville. The Via de la Plata is something of a less traveled route, not as popular as some of the others. Given the distance to Santiago, I wouldn't rule out the chance we might meet up. Anyway, it is always good to know there are...

    Getting Old.

    Hi tillyjones I don't want to make light of your situation regarding "age" and in particular, glasses! However, this will be your third Comino so you have already dealt with and overcome a number of major issues. Did you avoid "blisters?" I completed my first Comino 2016 including glasses...

    Trust me Don, with your preparation you will do it in whatever reasonable timeframe you set for yourself. I got lucky with my preparation in that I seemed to have covered all the bases.

    hi, i am planning to walk the camino

    Hi Introibo (well, you got the responses right!) Great run down, thank you for feedback. It seems to me there is so much that can be taken on board and planning is important. However, the 'alternatives' are mind blowing. Hard part, 'leaving the house' and setting out, a lot of the pre planning...

    hi, i am planning to walk the camino

    Hi Mike. Being a newcomer, I guess I plan on just getting there and started. Might not be the best plan but I guess I will find out. Stansted to Biarritz, bus to SSJP, overnight and go....You and Introibo both have a lot of miles covered and still going strong. Maybe if I get to 'another one'...

    hi, i am planning to walk the camino

    Hi Introibo (You were an Altar boy) Thank you for your beefed up summary providing further realistic insight into what lay ahead. Question = did you have a fixed start and finish date?

    hi, i am planning to walk the camino

    Hi Mike Thanks for your reply.....your schedule looks like you are a serial Comino walker. It must be good to draw you back covering alternative routes. The more I read from respondents, the more intrigued I become to experience what lay ahead. Regards Peter

    Thanks for you response James Walter, You made a real effort getting from Maryland. I will be setting out from United Kingdom landing in Biarritz, then bus to St Jean pied de Port. 35 days later, I hope to be in Santiago De Compostela? (might be wishful thinking?) I think I have all the bases...

    hi, i am planning to walk the camino

    I guess there are people out there who started from where I am now? I plan to walk Comino Frances may/june 2016. It would be great to talk/meet someone who has walked the Comino recently, or is perhaps about to walk it again! I am fit and recently retired, residing in south Yorkshire. Thank you...
