Hi, My name is Ray. I'm from California and will be starting the Camino del Norte on April 26th from Irún. I will walk for about four weeks. Not sure where I will end up, but then will have to return home. If necessary, I will hopefully return this year to finish. This will be my 4th Camino experience. Here is a link to my blog if anyone is interested.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Buen Camino and depending on your speed, you may arrive at Santiago.
Do bear in mind that the first week is, in my opinion, the hardest, so do not get discouraged :)

Thanks for that. I always secretly believe I will finish, but i've learned that it will be what it will be. I'll just keep walking and see what happens.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Urbanhiker:

You might finish in 28 days. I walked from San Sebastian in 29 days last year. The last third of this Camino is relatively easy compared to the first third. Thanks for the link. I will follow your blog and walk vicariously through you this year.

Ultreya,
Joe

I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...

I’m on day 2 of the CDN and I’m just blown away by the views. Day 1 Irun to San Sebastián, day 2 San Sebastián to Askizu Buen Camino
