JGP May-June 2017 Camino Francés

[jgpryde]

I'll be 62 and this being my first pilgrimage of any sort, I'll be learning on the hoof so to speak.
Looking forward to meeting many travelers on the same road but a different journey.
Buen Camino.

Welcome. You have plenty of time to research, and ask questions when you aren't able to find an answer to your specific question. Just remember that for some questions, there will be a broad and diverse range of advice for you to filter through. In the end, it is going to be your camino, and while we can help by sharing what has worked for us, you will need to apply that advice to your own circumstances.

I hope you enjoy your preparation and then your pilgrimage.

Buen camino

Take every day as it comes, don't have any expectations and you'll really be surprised at the outcome.
Enjoy the planning it's great fun, but don't over plan, go with the wind when you start the journey.

My husband and I will also be hiking the Camino de Santiago in May 2017. We are also 62. Excited and apprehensive. So much to plan and ponder.

Welcome to the forum Jason, and Buen Camino.

 

[jgpryde]

Have just committed serious travel funds to this endeavor.
Will be starting out from SJPDP for Orisson on May 3rd.
Physical training program is on track.
Doing a lot of reading on both the inner and outer journey prep.
(Currently watching "Tres En El Camino" on YouTube Interesting story and a good way to immerse oneself in Espaniol as all subtitles are in Spanish. )

Lurking in this forum is both informative and motivating. Muchos Gracias, companeros peregrinos!

Hi Panagiotis,

My first day will be a light one as I'll only be going so far as Orisson. I expect to be adjusting to a 9 hour time change, getting the kinks out of my walking gear, etc.

Looking forward to meeting up with you along the way though.

Buen Camino,
