Time of past OR future Camino
Walking from Leon onwards in April 2017
I've been doing a few 20km hilly hikes, have bought all of my gear (still have to ensure it fits into my weight limit!), and have booked first night and last night hotels. I'm so anxious/excited/nervous/worried/itching to get going now. I am walking only part of the Camino, starting from Leon. I leave on the 13th April - if anyone else is starting then, or in and around Leon during that time, it will be good to meet!

I'm slightly anxious about being a solo woman out on the trail before the crowds come, but I'm looking forward to the adventure!

I hope to see some of you along my travels!

Buen Camino!

Jade, My wife walked solo from Pamplona to Burgos last year and had absolutely no problems at all. She booked her accommodation a day in advance through either bookings.com or direct from the guide. As a solo male I walked the whole camino in September 2015 and generally only booked at noon on the day in question. If you are walking late in the day its worth knowing you have a place for the night but at the time of the year you are doing it you should not have a problem. P

I've walked solo 3 times. No worries, just use common sense and if you feel uncomfortable don't be afraid to ask someone when you leave the albergue to walk with you or at least keep you in their sight during the day..you will find many willing to help if you ask..that's what pilgrims do. It is difficult to know if someone wants to walk alone or wants company, so do ask, the Camino always provides. My personal experience, I have never felt scared and even when I walked 'alone', I was never alone.
