Thanks.. I think excited and nervous in equal measures best describes how I am feeling. But from all the positivity you read on this site helps sway back over to excitement..

Hi CQ78! I'll be along that stretch about the same time. My schedule is to spend the night of April 24th in Hospital de Orbigo. So I'll be 38 km behind you Waterford guys. Best of luck to you, especially at O'Cebreiro!

And what a perfect place to start. I love Rabanal. The Leon hills are something else in Spring.
Buen Camino!

I am planning on starting the very same time next year. Id like to keep and touch and see how it was for you both weather wise and crowd wise.

Ye will love it, maybe at times doubt ye're sanity for doing it, but guaranteed you'll get home and within a short space of time be trying to work out time off to do it all again!
I travelled with my cousin last year, going solo this year and it adds a little to the nerves, maybe a lot, but it also creates a since of adventure so hopefully I'll stay focused on that aspect, I only have five walking days, jealous of your 17!!
Buen Camino, Go n-eiri an bothar leat

It is so funny when you say it to people that you are going to Spain and then follow with 'To walk over 2ookm's of the Camino'. You tend to get some funny looks, but you also get the people who wish they were going too.
There's four of us travelling together, we will only be walking for about 12 days. We have an overnight in Madrid first and we have a day or two at the end, depending on our progress.
I don't think you need to worry about walking on your own, from what I've read on here, I don't think you are ever alone on the Camino. You will have a great adventure..
