Doing my first Camino this May. My husband is walking from Leon and I will meet up with him in Sarria. Training and gathering gear. Very excited and hoping this old lady is not biting off more than I can chew.

St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
Mid-seventies and going again this fall. Take it slowly and savor! I did many miles a day on my first Camino and no rest days. This time going to take my time and explore side trips and spend time in villages that intrigue me rather than plow ahead.

My first camino was along the Portuguese route, age 58. My second was from Sarria at age 60. I walked from SJPDP at age 66 (my 6th camino), and my last camino was completed at age 69 along 3 separate routes (Jesus Trail in Israel, Via Francigena from Tuscany to Rome and the Camino Finisterre). I'll be on the trail again in late May.
You will be fine. There will be plenty of other hikers by May along the Frances (some fo them very seasoned) for guidance. Just remember that it is not a race. Pack light-- remember that Spain is not at the end of the world. You could purchase anything you might need there, so there is little need for "just in rare case" items.

Thanks for boosting my confidence everyone. I’m counting on other pilgrims to spur me on when I’m doing those challenging climbs. Jim, just read about the Jesus Trail. Sounds amazing!
