    I am getting excited now and starting firmer planning for my 2025 Camino starting in Le Puy. I had thought to start late April, but am not sure if that is too soon weather wise. All thoughts welcome. If it is not ideal, what time would you...

    Thanks for your kind words. Yes I am trying to get the balance right- I think I am fit enough and am happy with being alone, but the lesser is the bit I am a little concerned about

    I walked the Le Puy Camino in 2018 and started on June 1st. I heard a couple of stories that those who had started out just one week prior had walked in some new snow and slush on those early stages of the Margeride and Aubrac regions as they...
