This time last year, I was getting ready for my big adventure on the Camino Frances. I had a simply wonderful time, met so many lovely people and was in awe for most of the 500 miles.

I expected it to be a 'one off" but not a day has gone past without me thinking about being on the Camino again.

So in a week's time, it's off to SJPP again :) But this time it's with my gorgeous wife. I think I've been contagious. Due to her holiday restrictions we plan to walk the Camino in 2 week sections over 3 years - this year the plan is to get to Burgos.

It will be a completely different experience but we can't wait.

Meanwhile, I continue to plan my next 'biggie'. Le Puy? ;)

Buen Camino :)

Buen camino, Rich1 and Mrs. Rich. I, too, was so touched by my camino last year that I shall be going again this year. I keep telling myself that I am not an addict. Am I in denial? All the best to both of you.

Albertagirl, You're only a addict if it takes longer and longer routes to keep you happy! As you walk, you may be developing a tolerance.:D We could all be so lucky to have this "addiction"

Funny thing. I shall be walking 900 km. this year, compared to last year's 800. Oh Oh!

You're hooked, Albertagirl ! We will all have to gather on the Via Francigena trail and have a group intervention!

Hooked, no not me. I'd say I was more obsessed, unfortunately I can't go again for another 18 months or so, but I know the time will fly by.

Buen Camino to to all.
 
Same here.....I got hooked after my Camino last year. I also only have 2 weeks and will walk to Burgos. It will be hard to not be able to continue.......but thankfully there is always ...the next time :) Have fun !

I think you, like I, need a support group. It is an addiction :)
