Last minute decision to walk the Camino

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances - Leon to Santiago (2015)
Camino Madrid/Salvador/Primitivo (2017)
I'm sure many of you have seen my numerous threads over the past few days, as I've tried to get as much information as possible before setting out on my journey. Hiking the camino has always been on my bucket list, but I had resigned myself to not being able to do it until at least 2017 due to school and work commitments. Lo and behold, I won a free plane ticket anywhere in the world during a contest last month and decided to just go for it. I will be setting out from Leon on March 22nd and arriving in Santiago on April 1st. I have patched together my equipment from various sources, speak less than a dozen words of Spanish, and have never hiked this distance before, but I absolutely cannot wait to tackle the challenge (and meet new people along the way)!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-

Good for you , wish you a Buen Camino , Peter .
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Ooh that's exciting! Buen camino :)

Greetings to all. I posted a few days ago stating that I will begin my first Camino in St. Jean-pied-de-Port on 29 August and that I will take it slow and steady to Santiago de Compostela...
As a new member of the forum who has been reading clandestinely for the past three months or so, I have to say how much I enjoy the entries--not simply for the collective wisdom from all of you...
I am looking for people who want to walk the camino del norte in may 2025 - starting from Irun, Bilbao or another place. Nice to hear from you.
