- Time of past OR future Camino
- june 2013
Hi wonderful forum people,
It looks like I will have to postpone my highly anticipated June
Camino because of a flare up of an old foot injury. Because of my teaching work, June is the best month in my schedule. I had originally ruled out July and Aug. because of the heat and crowds and reading so many forum comments. Now I am considering doing the Camino starting Aug. 15th to Sept 15 ish. I may need to start in Pamplona or even further west as I want to go slowly.
I know June would be a nicer time, but waiting a whole year seems like so long and my heart and mind are so ready. My 55th birthday is in Sept. and I thought it would be a good time. Also, next June my son (God willing) may be graduating college and I can't miss that.
I would love to hear the thoughts of those who have done either or both times. I want to take it slowly and not feel like I need to push to get to the next town for an albergue. Also, I love summer and sun, but I don't do well if it is uncomfortably hot/ mid to high 90'sF. I REALLY want to go soon. Is it crazy of me to think of going in August when so many say it is unpleasant? And it would be a week shorter than planned.
Also any advice on where to start if I want to go slowly and have about 32 days walking?
