My wfe and I plan to walk the Camino this year in Sept from France
Hi my wife and I are planning to walk the camino in sept this year from France and any advice would be great we will be coming from New Zealand we haven't booked our flights yet.
Some say the walk over the mountains is the hard part.
And there is two routes we can choose from.
I am 73yrs and my wife 70 yrsboth are reasonably fit

As you can see I'm not very good on the PC

Welcome to the Forum, @Waikato!

First, no worries about your age - - plenty of folks right there with you, some even more "time-experienced".

The walk over the mountains (yes, there are two routes) is hard but part of that is it is at the very beginning before you have hardened to the exercise.

Start at this link to get a jump on your planning:

After that, there is a huge amount of expertise here ready and willing to help you with answers to more specific questions.

Buen Camino!

Welcome Waikato! I plan on leaving SJPdP September 7th, maybe our paths will cross.

Buen Camino!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
Careful with plains of Castille and the heat (assuming you choose that route), it could prove to be harder
Good luck and Buen Camino
 
Hy , your age should be no problem. Don't worrying about it . Wish you a great experience and a Buen Camino, Peter.
