- (2018)Camino Ingles, SdC-Finesterre-Muxia
I have never walked the Camino before but lately I just can't stop reading about it, googling it and checking for posts on Twitter. I have become seriously addicted to this forum as well.
I will find myself on my own in San Sebastian in early May and have decided to start my Camino journey in SJDPP on 10 May 2018 and will walk for 3 days to Pamplona. That's all the time I have but even now I'm making plans to go back later in the year.
I'm a pretty active and fit 56 year old woman from Ireland and have never undertaken a walk like this before. Yes I've walked from point A to B but never got up the next day and walked on again.
I'm excited but now doubting myself a bit. I won't be carrying much as I have pre-booked B&B/Hostal in Ronscesvalles and Zubiri. I'm not going to stress out about how long I will walk each day and figure if I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, I'll get there sooner or later and even if later, at least i'll have a bed booked.
How hard is the first day though?
Other question is; I've never walked with walking poles before, good idea to get them or not?
