Hello folks... I'm almost set on walking the VdlP next year but I have a couple of niggling doubts/questions. I know it's a long way off but I have to block out maybe 8 weeks on the calendar and 2016 bookings are coming for the band so I have to decide.
Firstly will it be too quiet for me? I'm walking alone and I just wonder if I'll feel too isolated? I loved the CF but I don't need crowds... a handful of folks to have a coffee with is nice though. On the CF you rarely walk alone - sometimes perhaps too many folks and it feels too busy but equally it's nice to know that 500m ahead there is someone if you need them? And in the end I walked roughly with the same group of people and never felt alone that much.
Is the VdlP very quiet? Will it be too much of a culture shock?
Secondly... I'm thinking of going late September but I've seen lots of folks starting March/April... is this a better time to go?
I've been reading lots of blogs and trying to find out as much as I can and I have a yearning to walk from Cadiz to Fisterra... my husband may come and join me for a few weeks in the middle, following me in our campervan but apart from this I'll be walking solo. I feel really drawn to this walk but I'm just worried about feeling alone.
all advice (blogs/vidoes) welcome
many thanks
