Hello - last year, with the help of lots of fantastic advice from people on this forum, I cycled Leon to Santiago. It was one of the best experiences of my life... it must have been because now i have the bug.
So now I want to do the first two thirds, ie St Jean to Leon. But a couple of questions first...
1. because of other commitments it looks like it will be mid May or mid September? Any advice on which i should choose? I'd like to be able to get into the albergues without too much stress so does anyone know which is less busy? I was also very very lucky with the weather indeed last time around (sun nearly the whole way) so which is likely to be nicer meteorologically speaking?
2. i took the Camino at an easy pace last time, only did about 65km a day. I think i'd like to do roughly the same this time, so should i be allowing myself around 9 days to do this? anyone got any great suggestions on itinerary?
i look forward to the usual fantastic help you get on here...
Jaime
