Leaving for Leon today - thanks for the advice etc!

[ClaireB]

Hi everyone,
I'm leaving Paris for Leon today to start walking from Sarria mid next week. I've set aside the 9th to get going but it can't come soon enough and it might just turn out that I get bored waiting and start earlier!
Thanks everyone for the advice and support, this forum has been really useful
I'm going to try and keep my blog updated as much as possible but who knows how often that will be!
Thanks again
Claire

So many pilgrims on the trail around Leon! I visited Hospital De Orbigo today from Leon for their medieval festival (which was fantastic!) and saw around 70 pilgrims on foot and 30ish on bicycle - crazy!
Felt a bit guilty being on the bus and I can't wait to get to Sarria in a couple of days to start walking!

And for anyone who's interested, the weather here is very nice but changes from around 15 degrees in the morning to mid-20's by midday-ish. It has also rained both afternoons I've been here although much more yesterday than today!
