First time pilgrimage,Florida girl

[Debbienaples]

Hi everyone,
I must say I've really enjoyed reading all the posts. I've decided to finally commit to walking the Camino for my 50th birthday. Not till next year (2018) and I've chose September to walk. That's giving me plenty of time to condition my body to walk the French way. I'm reading the post as resources, type of poles, sleeping bag, boots, etc. Also love the experiences everyone shares, positive and negative. I'm really looking forward to this journey ,both physically and mentally! Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Welcome Debbie!

I really enjoy walking in September, for me it is the perfect time of year and I will walk September and October again this year. Enjoy your planning and conditioning I did the same thing for my first Camino and for the last few years since then I just keep exercising. I guess the Camino is a good motivator. There is a great search engine on this site and many experienced pilgrims too so feel free to get all your questions answered.

Buen Camino!
