Hi Everyone, Newbies planning on a June 2025 camino

[PennyD]

Hi, my husband & I are hoping to start the Camino Frances in June 2025. Just hit 60 and looking for a challenge. Currently reading lots and gathering information …… especially on footwear!
Training starts Monday

Snap! My best friend Robert and yours truly will be setting out from Sarria on the 6th June.

I plan to start the Camino in early June as well. This forum has lots of information, but like many things the more I learn, the more I realize there is a great deal I don't know.

Once you make your gear choices and start training with them you’ll be all set. For me the planning phase is great great fun. Buen camino to you all.

Wonderful! Where do you intend starting from on the Frances?

I think that you chose a great month to start on the Camino Francés. Usually less rain, the poppies and other wildflowers are out in force, and fewer pilgrims (until you reach Galicia) than late April, May or September. In June this year on the Francés I never had an issue with finding a bed, and neither did those I met along the way. I was actually the only pilgrim in the albergue one night!
