Old Newbie

[GreenArcher83]

Hello! 53 year old newbie here. Was planning to walk with my 18 year old son from O'Cebreiro but he is now sidelined with a runner's injury. My wife still suggested I go alone. I decided to do a short one this year and then bring both boys for a longer walk in 2021. Starting from Sarria on May 27. So looking forward to this journey!

Welcome, GreenArcher83. So good to hear that you will still do the walk, even if you might be on your own. Because it will be a trip of a lifetime which you will never forget, and meet lots of other like-minded souls along the way. Who knows, perhaps next time you can persuade your wife to accompany you as well!

You are way too young to be an "old" newbie.

How is the weather in late May?

YOU are Not OLD

An old(er) Newbie is 75. In 2017, that was me I'll do it again in 2022.

Wait 'til you see these seriously OLD pilgrims... they're the ones leaving everyone else in their dust!

Yes, who is the old newbie? You will see that you don't come near to qualifying for that category.
