I am going to not over think the planning of this trip in a few weeks time

Time of past OR future Camino
May 2023
It has been at the back of my head this year that I need to do a Camino Frances for reasons I am not totally certain about, In a three day period around Christmas out of the blue the idea was planted into my head from various sources.
Last few weeks I have had a few work and health problems which are now sorted and I am today rushing around planning a SJPDP start on May 8th.
But yet again and knowing my OCD tendencies for over planning everything and getting stressed about it :) (probably why I need to do The Way for a re-balance) I have decided in the last hour to not over plan and over think about this and just take the first step in France on May 8th even though I might have overlooked something, but I am sure whatever I have forgotten or not planned it will right itself as I go along.

That's all I need and I am sure the albergues will sort themselves out when I get there
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

All sounds perfectly fine.

Remember, if you forget something, it can be bought at a better price & quality in Spain. It is an old, civilised country. And you will not be alone. Have no worries.

Exactly. The Camino is not a wilderness expedition into uncharted lands. It is actually an overly well marked route with extremely good infrastructure for walkers/pilgrims, in a safe and developed country.
Even if you realise you missed some equipment, there are plenty of cities along the way to buy even that.
