Camino El Norte 2010

We have had a interest in walking the El Norte for close to one year now. Since Kirsten, Alvina, Barb and Linda, the original Camino Sisters from our 2008 experience on the Camino Frances, met in the Gaspe in September 2009, we have been planning our trip. We are only 3, meeting together in a few days to begin this trek. We have followed the experiences of a few other brave souls who have ventured out on this route earlier this year and read about the difficulties that they encountered with the terrain, the weather and the accommodation. It is a more difficult route because it follows the mountainous coast of northern Spain and the weather along the sea is therefore more unsettled. So we will see how it goes.
We have learned from other pilgrims that this experience is different in that we have already proved ourselves on the Camino Frances and so do not need to 'do the Camino' in any particular way.
Our intention is to meet in Paris on Wednesday morning, take a train to Hendeye and then begin the walk on Thursday morning and just see how it goes.
as on previous occasions, I will write as I go.
