I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances in September 2014

[plum pud]

I'm a 45 year old woman who is currently completing a cardiac physiology degree. I graduate in 2014 and decided I wanted to walk the Camino Frances. I was firstly inspired by the film 'The Way' and now spend most of my days thinking about it.
Any feedback from past walkers would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Hola Plum Pud,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, the movie "The Way" has certainly inspired a numberto walk the camino.
The forum is a good place to read & learn about preparations for your camino, feel free to ask questions if you can't find the answers you're looking for.
Buen Camino
Colin

Plum pud, my friend Louise and I started our walk in April with a wealth of information gleaned from this forum. No question too stupid and an answer for everything we spent months trawling for hints and tips from people who had walked this path. For us the journey was one of mixed emotions as the death of a family member forced us home just two days short of half way but we return in September to complete the Camino and who knows you might be one of the people we meet. Now in our third week home we talk about the Camino every day and are still shedding a few tears when asked how we are feeling. The absolute highlights are the people you meet, the meals you share and the stories you hear. Enjoy!

Hi, I walked from St Jean to Najera in September 2012 and it is a lovely time to go, very good weather but not too hot, I return in September this year going from St Jean again all the way to Santiago. If there are any questions you want to ask feel free to do so and I'll try help
