Hi Everyone. Walking the Camino in September from Leon to Santiago De Compostela for the first time. Flying to Santiago De Compostela. No plans after that. Travelling alone. 60 and recently retired. Any tips or advice greatly appreciated. Looking forward to it but a little apprehensive!!

Leon is a good starting point. The terrain is not too challenging, so it will help you get into shape. Have a great time. Buen camino.

Welcome Damo, being apprehensive is normal, that will go as soon as you start walking. September is a nice time to walk, shouldn't be too hot. Enjoy it all.
Buen Camino.

Welcome Damo! If you get a chance then check out this thread that tells what other forum members are on the Camino during September. Maybe our paths will cross. I leave SJPdP on September 7th.

Hello and welcome, it's a great walk from Leon. There only 2" bumps " , the walks up to the Cruz de Fierro and to O'Cebreiro. You will enjoy it, wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
