before meeting daughter in Lugo, bus to Sarria and walking the last section to Santiago together.
No wonder. Count on all the support you will get here on the forum. And yes, thanks for letting us in to share in your grief.Just need to get going
ThanksMay it be a time of healing and rejuvenation for you.
Could I suggest you walk from Lugo with your daughter? You'll reach the Frances in a couple of days anyway;-) And you might be in the walking frame of mind that does not want to hop on a bus prematurely!
I didn’t think it quite made the 100km mark??Out of curiosity, why won't you guys start the walk in Lugo? It is also 100km from Santiago.

Go well. I walked Madrod to Oviedo in June.So after months of dedicated planning, I fly out to Madrid on Monday...without much of a plan
Camino Madrid onto Salvador, then Primitivo as far as time permits, before meeting daughter in Lugo, bus to Sarria and walking the last section to Santiago together.
Feels like my first Camino with the lack of plan and lack of knowledge of the route...and that’s good. The last 3 years, walking the Frances with Mrs Rich have been more planned - with the first few days accommodation always booked, and generally booking ahead for the next day as I always felt responsible for putting a roof over our heads (and 2 beds harder to be sure of than 1).
So, apart from flights, nothing booked and I’ll just go with the flow.
Having said that, I’m not feeling hugely motivated. One of my best friends took his own life in July which has affected me so much...it’s just so sad...such a waste. I will be walking with him in my heart. Knee is knackered too...years of running are finally catching up. I just hope the Camino will provide me with the the energy and peace that always seems to flow along it.

I wonder if Rich1 has started his camino?
So where are you? In Leon?Sorry to keep you all in suspense...yes I have!
I've had an interesting few days to put it mildly and I think may easier to comment when I've got more than a phone to tap. Suffice to say it's been an entertaining insight into the workings of my brain
Sorry not though I am still walking my way to meet my daughter. I'm just not where I thought I would be
you are surely keeping us in suspense! well done, safe walking, and happy meeting up with your daughter.Sorry to keep you all in suspense...yes I have!

If I understood correctly from another thread @Rich1 trained from Segovia to Leon. He wasn't back on the forum much since then.I was looking forward to following this route but it looks like there will be no more updates…..
As long as you're enjoying it all is well. And will be!I will write some more about my Camino montage when I get home, but in essence I walked to Segovia, trained to Leon, did a bit of the Salvador, came back to Leon, joined the Frances (for reasons that became apparent to me), and am now in Gonzar having eaten my fill of chorizo and drunk a bottle of wine.
Plan now is to walk to Melide, then backtrack on the Primitivo to Lugo where I will meet Miss Rich. Then bus to Sarria and walk from there. It's her first Camino journey so starting in Sarria is just fine.
So...in summary...it's been one hell of a journey but I am now on the right road
But you are one lucky guy. If I would be able to find Miss Rich I guess I'd be on Camino twice each year
I don’t like that it has been one hell of a journey, but yes I like seeing that you are on the ‘right road’, and on the way to meet your daughter.I will write some more about my Camino montage when I get home, but in essence I walked to Segovia, trained to Leon, did a bit of the Salvador, came back to Leon, joined the Frances (for reasons that became apparent to me), and am now in Gonzar having eaten my fill of chorizo and drunk a bottle of wine.
