My brother and I are beginning our Camino in April. We have accomplished other long distance, multi-day walks and are approaching this or with great respect. Looking forward to the solitude and the camaraderie; to laughing conversations and shoulders to cry on; to aching muscles and soothing yoga and to meeting friends I have not met before...see you there.

Hi Vaga.bond.

You and your brother have chosen a great time of year to walk.

Buen Caminos!

I'll be only a few days behind you, I'm going to start on either the 16th or 17th. I wish my brother would join me for the hike! Enjoy and perhaps i'll see you out there

Thanks Tyrrek - we thought it would be wet and cool and perfect! I noticed you are in Halifax - me too, Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am content to walk in any weather but good to know that we've chosen well.

France's: my mother at 87, brother and I walked across England two years ago and it was an incredible experience. I haven't lived with either of them in 40 years and ended up sharing a room with my mom. Some days good, others better - very good for our relationships. Mother (89)is planning on the camino this year with my sister. If you ever have the opportunity to spend this much time with a sibling I say grab onto it and go!

We will look for you en route, Buen Camino

Ha! I suspect your Halifax is a bit more happening than mine!

I started my Camino Frances from SJPP on 19th April last year and the weather couldn't have been better, given the length of time you're on the road. A few wet days but they were generally just drizzle apart from one, which I took off as a rest day! :twisted: I hope you get similar, but you are more experienced walkers than I was so you can cope anyway!

Buen Camino!
