Starting from Oviedo - March 27th, 2018

[Orlagh]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting the Camino Primitivo by myself on March 27th, 2018... flying from Dublin so will get a stamp in St. James's Gate on the way. Does that make it the Camino Irlandes?

It's 15 years since I did the Portuguese route with a friend; a 9kg bag in August heat compensated for our minimum distance!! So in a way I feel like a newbie. But I'll take the same 35L Lowe Alpine bag, for the sake of nostalgia.

This time I'm happier about the cooler temperatures and will enjoy a pilgrimmy atmosphere over the Easter weekend.

I'm grateful for this forum, it's full of great advice and also sounds like quite a lot of fun.

Orlagh.

Hi Orlagh
You'll love the Camino Primitivo. I hope you find a happy group along the way.
Good to hear someone else is getting a stamp from St. James Gate in Dublin. I was visiting friends in Dublin last year and took the opportunity to get mine stamped there too.
Buen Camino
Annie
