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.

2016 Sjpp to Sdc. 2018 Lisbon to Sdc to Finisterre. Next up hopefully VDP or Del Norte.
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).
