Camino Frances , September/October 2018
Will start my first Camino in a month time. Get excited already. I trust that most of you have been the place in my painting. I am confident that I will be there too, possibly even find some time to paint it again on location. B5BE2075-3AA0-4D23-AEA5-4016D61CE702.jpeg

I hopefully start 9th October. Arrive SJPDP the day before. If everything goes right I will get there around 7pm and get to the pilgrim's office but if things don't go right I won't be able to get there until it's just enough time to get straight to sleep and will have to wait until it opens the next day at 8amish.

I just want to get started. I think because I've not got the dates nailed down that's adding to my nerves. When I'm there I'm free for time and have enough saved to be okay.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I will arrive Sant Jean very late on 18th September. Will have to wait next morning to visit the pilgrims office. That means mostly likely I will arrive Roncesvalles later than most fellow pilgrims. Good thing is that I have secured a bed in Roncesvalles albergue so that I can walk the first day without worrying about where to sleep. Buen Camino!
 
That's a beautiful piece of art, Weiho. Clearly, you already have the Camino in your heart. May you have a muy buen Camino. Keep us posted.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

I don't want to get in the habit of booking ahead. I'm going to see what I can do about transport to SJPDP. I know there's a bus service for pilgrims. If I can book that then I might want to play it cool but I do definitely want to do that leg to Roncesvalles in a day but Im might be foolish to rush it so it might be best so I can take my time walking a mountain on the first day.
