    Hello from Australia

    go for it Maria. Sil's suggestion is great and you'll have time to get into the groove. Having said that though, the mountains aren't that big really - I was feeling very nervous about walking up to O'Cebreiro but on the day I did it, it was not bad at all. Take your time, rest often if you...

    Class of 2010

    I'm planning an August 16th take off from Somport! This time I'll be travelling with a friend I met during my camino last year so it will be quite a different one, and also, with wisdom, I will have no fear about what lies ahead but enjoy the path right there under my feet and the moment!

    will it be cold by mid November?

    last year it was cold in November, especially at night. The days were still sunny and fairly warm, but by Burgos there was snow on the mountains. If you don't want to carry a jacket, pack a pair of longjohns and a thermal top along with a lighter weight fleece. Then you can wear the longjohns...

    A one week walk - which camino, or part of, should I choose?

    the nicest part for me was in Galacia - if you are reasonably fit and have a week, I would plan back from Santiago by how far you think you can walk daily - I think a good distance on average is 20kms daily - perhaps beginning somewhere near O Cebreiro or Samos? Both are lovely towns to set out...

    How is everyone going who are planning to start their camino this year? :?: I know most of the "Class of 2008" have been and done their camino, but there are still a few of us waiting here excitedly in the wings for our turn. I head out of St Jean on September 9th, walking the Camino...

    "Learning to Walk" Sept10 08

    I posted this info elsewhere, but a friend has just returned from the camino and tells me that the post office in Santiago only keeps your gear now for TWO WEEKS ONLY!! She has sent ahead some nice clothes to wear and extra toiletries, only to find the PO had sent them onto her home address 2...

    "Learning to Walk" Sept10 08

    I burst out laughing when I read this - I guess it says it all! My mantra as I finalise my packing is, if in doubt, take it, you can always throw it out. Cheers, Jane :)

    Walking the Camino

    Hi Ginny and welcome! I live in Adelaide and am also planning on walking the camino next year - I was going to walk in August too but have since changed my mind to start in September because of the heat and the number of pilgrims in August. I think if you walk 12kms daily at the moment you...
