Hi all, I'm Mandy. Single parent, 4 children and finally at nearly 50 I have a week to myself in August!
I really wanted to push my comfort zone so having never backpacked before I booked a flight to Biarritz a few months back to start the CF. However, the more I look into it I'm wondering if the Norte would suit me better - I love hill walking, have no problem with steep ascents but moreover want some solitude, some chance to meet others and am not phased by sleeping rough living out of a Rucksack with minimal stuff. I've heard the CF can be ridiculously busy in August, and I don't like t he idea of booking ahead with accommodation - I want to see how far I can get and if necessary I'd be happy to camp. Any advice gladly received!
