- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances june/july 2021
Hello Everyone,
My Name is Huub, 34 years old and from The Netherlands. And I want to walk the Camino Frances as soon as possible, hopefully end of May early June. I could go anytime in June though. But want to go as soon as possible since I have some health issues which may prevent me from going if I wait to long. ( my optical nerves are degrading and I'm losing my sight, but it could remain stable or even be stopped, we don't have any prognose sadly)
( First time posting on this forum, If i'm in the wrong sub, my apologies. )
I want to walk in 40 a 45 days, i'm going to take it "easy"
I'm having a whole lot of stress/anxiety/doubts leading up to it. Maybe some of you can remedy that a bit.
These are my main concerns at the moment, put a big nice covid sauce on these concerns for added flavor.
Can anyone give me some tips, helpull thoughts, anything that might help or point me to things I am forgetting and are also important?
That would be very much appriciated!
Greetings,
Huub den Boer

- First stressful thing, The needing of a negative-PCR test, no older then 72 hours: I would really like to start from Sjdpd, is the feasable? With travel from Amsterdam to Sjdpd, would I loose too much time? Could I get a new test in Sjdpd? ( I am fully vacinated, so in theory the virus should not get a foothoold in my body.) I could start in Pampalona, but would really like to hike over the Pyrenees.
- Sleeping arangements along the way: I am a very very difficult sleeper, very light sleeper and I'm anxious around people, social anxiety. My prefered choice of sleeping arangements would be mostly hotels ( I want to try albergues along the way, to at least try them). I am really nervous about finding hotels along the way easily, is this going to be possible to do easily/hassle-free-ish? Probaly going to plan the first few hotels before I start my Camino. But will there be enough vacancies? Do I have to go out of my way to find hotels that have room? Especially with the times we are in at the moment, giving me a whole lot of stress. Or maybe this would be the perfect time and face my anxiety and just go with the flow, I'm really not sure though. I need my sleep badly. How much time, energy and stress is it going to be on the road with finding sleeping arangements (pref.Hotels)?
