- Camino Frances : April /May 2017
Hello my friends,
I'm 70 years old, a male from South Africa and I'm trying to attempt my first Camino, the French way, in April 2017.
I am honoured to be a new member of this this distinguihed group of experience Pilgrims/walkers/adventurers and I would like you to please assist me with my following questions and those which will follow afterwords:
I have painstakingly gone through the vast amount of informative messages in different fora on this website and I would just like to find out whether:
1. Is there according to your experience any age limit of Pilgrims who walk the French way.?? Have you met some of them in your previous caminos ? As I've mentioned I'm 70 years old and this will be the first time I'm trying such a long distance overall though I'm not unfit at all .
2. Many Pilgrims referred to the different refugios in which one can stay over but I never see whether blankets and sheets are part of the price per night or not. I'm bringing my own sleeping bag with but I'm just curious to know what are the arrangements in this regard.
3. I would like to know whether these refugees are mixed for men and women? It is really no problem, it's just something I would like to know please
4. I also gain the impression from the information on the fora that one not allowed to stay longer than one night in a refugio? is that true and what will happen if you want to rest another day and stay over. are there very strict rules in this regard or can one stay 2 nights if you feel like that in the same place?
These are all my questions for the moment and I'm really looking forward to having a fruitful discussion with all my new friend regarding my first attempt at the age of 70 to tackle my first Camino
