Solo Auzzie first timer leaving SJP

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
You will find plenty of camaraderie on the Camino :)

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
You will have a great time. Buen Camino!
Hi, I'm heading off from SJP and stopping overnight in Orrison on the 6th.
Looking forward to some shared commradarie on my solo journey. 😊 Jo from South Australia (Lofty 1 on this site).
Go and enjoy as soon as you cross the bridge at st John you become a member of a very big family. The camino family. Good luck God bless.
 
Have a safe and wonderful walk Lofty. Sue from Western Australia.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Take it very easy for the first few days Jo. Allow your body to fall into a natural walking, rythym. It isn't a race!

Having said that, you'll have no trouble meeting people especially if you stay in Alburgues.

At dinner at Orrison, you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and say why you are walking the Camino.

The funny thing is that you'll probably keep on bumping into people that you meet then, all the way to Santiago.

Buen Camino!
 
Buen Camino Lofty. Orrison is a great spot for your first night and to meet so many others, to share your reasons for walking the Camino etc. You will meet so many people on your Camino, some will pass you or fall behind, depending on your pace. To reiterate Walton above, it’s not a race, it’s your Camino and you will settle into your own pace. Di (currently travelling Australia in a caravan but ex Sydney and planning my second Camino).
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Thanks so much Walton, I will certainly take your advice, thus the stop over in Orrison 😊🙏
