Hi, I did the CF in Sept/Oct 2014 and again in April/May 2016. I actually really enjoyed the 2nd one even more. The scenery was prettier and I think I was more open to meeting people. I am going back thieSept just to walk from Santiago to Finisterre/Muxia as the other 2 times, I stopped in Santiago. Each Camino is a little different. Enjoy.Bonjour, Hola and Buen Camino I'm CJ from Cheshire England.
I first hiked the camino de Santiago in summer 2013 from St Jean to Santiago before finishing in Finsiterra. I generally love the great outdoors and travelling. I've done a few backpacking trips since but not a day goes by where I don't think about my time on the way. The experience, the people I met - a great bunch of who I'm still in contact with, and what the Camino did for me afterwards.
So would it be crazy to do it for a second time this summer? I know you can never replicate your first time, everything will be different. But I have an itch to do another hike and another chance to milk some time off work in in order to go. It took me 31 days to reach Santiago and another 3 to finisterra last time. I would do it a little differently this time around, I'd stay in different places and end it in Muxia, plus I'd stay in the parador at the end in santiago.
What is the average price of the Albergues in 2017 and daily budget for the way? I think I did 30 euros a day last time around and Albergues varied between 5 - 10 some 15 euros a night? I'd drink more water and start the days earlier this time around too. I'm looking to go at the end of August to early October.
Cheers CJ.

Hola everyone,
Cheers for your replies, I heard even when I was there the first time that it was becoming more commercial and something I saw for myself during the last 200km. I guess September will be a little quieter than the months of May - August. I plan to book a head at the beginning and the end for sure but I'm an early bird so that will help too.
I walked the tour du mont blanc last year and as fun as it was it just didn't match up.
I'm just buying new equipment and already have my boots! And bonjour Many-miles2go yeah I haven't been on the site in nearly 4 years. How are Pat and John are you still in touch with them?

.... I've walked from SJPDP to Finesterre and Muxia five times now ....
Amen to that, sister.If it is crazy there are a lot of lunatics here on the forum.
Hola everybody,
Thanks for all your replies, depending how my application for my dream job as a firefighter goes next month I will walk the camino one more time and leave from St Jean pied de port on 28th August!
And Manymiles2go sorry I never kept in touch with Pat and John sadly. I met those guys on the very first day in the Pyrenees and they sped on a head after a while, the next time I saw them funny enough was on my last day in Santiago. Another friend I walked with was in touch with them, but I will email him and see if I can get any contacts details for you. I did an amateur documentary video I put on YouTube of my first time on the way.
Buen Camino CJ.
Hi Jay, I met you in this Camino. I don’t know if you remember two kiwi girls who you walked with from alto de perdon through to viana I think? I did wonder how you got on and if you finished. Hannah and I finished on the 29th may in Santiago so not long before you. I hope it was amazing for you. It was life changing for me. I see you want to walk again! That’s fantastic. I want to walk again too but this time it’s in Portugal next April.I just finished my second Camino Frances two days ago ( I am still in Santiago), having done my first in September - October 2015. Your Camino will in no way be the same if you walk the CF again. Different companions, different you.... my only advice is do what you are called to do...
