Just five days to go now before I start on a 1538km pilgrimage on foot from Le Puy-en-Velay in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I plan to walk the French section in four separate weeks between April and August and then to complete the Spanish section in one go from August to October.
On Easter Sunday 8 April I fly to Lyon St Exupery and then by train to Le Puy-en-Velay. The pilgrim's mass is at 07:00 on Monday. Then with the first stamp in my credenciale I will set out for seven days of walking. Starting in Haut-Loire I quickly pass into Lozere and then into Aveyron. My plan is to return on Monday 16 April from Rodez airport. Depending on my rate of progress I plan on getting a bus from Espalion or Conques to Rodez for my return.
The contents of my backpack are now being carefully tuned to ensure the minimum weight for carrying over the 150 to 210 km of this first stage.
