It is just over 9 years since my first camino. I walked alone from Roncesvalles to Santiago de Compostela. I was absolutely terrified when I started, yet at the same time, despite all the challenges, I knew that everything would work out. It did and I had a fantastic time.. I met wonderful people, loved Spain and fell in love with the camino. Two years later I returned again, this time with my husband G and walked from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago. I found this camino more challenging physically, possibly because I had done less training. I had stopped off in Germany for the 5 weeks before, to spend some time with a lovely friend I had met on my previous camino.
Last weekend a little trip switch went off in my head and I knew that it is time to start planning my next camino. I can trace a number of different contributing factors but the final impetus was a
photo of one of the French camino routes on Margaret's
Camino-spirations blog.
This blog is a place for me to begin my planning. I think that I am looking at one of the French routes , but sadly I probably only have time to walk about 900k and so don't have time to walk the whole way to Santiago. Probably sometime in 2012.. so much planning to do now!
