An Irishman's Camino lite (115km) Sarria -Santiago De Compostela

[Irish guy]

Hi all - I'm based in Ireland and I thought I would share my Camino 'lite' experience (September 2014 over one week from Sarria to Santiago De Compostela, about 115km) - https://www.tomsrambles.com/blog/2018/1/22/burning-out-then-walk-the-walk-on-the-camino-de-santiago

What a journey, already thinking of how I can go back again - either a different route or in due course have enough time and money to attempt it all. Paradise.

Hi,
Well, you've made a stirling effort for a first go. You and the Camino are now one.
Look back on how it went, make adjustments i.e. What you carried and why, did you stay in albergues or hostels...and why. What would you do different? What Camino is now calling. Book your next flight. Go ahead...you know you want to.
Buen Camino,
Arn

A fine write-up! It sounds like you had a memorable time.
Being so close to the Camino means you can dip in and out of it every so often, like I do.
I don't have the time to walk the full 4/5 weeks but after walking from Sarria in 2011 I was hooked.
I recommend walking from St Jean, the Camino's starting point in France, for a week or two. Maybe finishing up in Logrono or Burgos.
All you need to do is book your flights and you are half way there
Buen Camino!

What a journey, already thinking of how I can go back again - either a different route or in time have enough time and money to attempt it all. Paradise.
