- Time of past OR future Camino
- Most years since 2012
I don't have much to post yet, but I have been reading the forum almost daily for a few weeks and thought I should introduce myself.
I have decided that I'd like to do a portion of El Camino. Since I don't know if I have the physical stamina (I'm 59) or the time (I have limited vacation time) or the compulsion to do one of the long routes, I thought I would start with a shorter one.
I have a friend in Porto who might join me next spring for a walk along the Camino Portugues. I live in the area of Vancouver, Canada. We have the idea of a moderate challenge - maybe 10 to 15 km per day for 10-14 days. I have never done a long-distance walk.
My serious training won't start until next spring, but in the meantime I have a 7 km route I try to walk several times per week, and occasionally do twice that. I am not in fabulous condition, but am able to walk that distance without trouble. The only question is whether I can do it day after day. (Sometimes my feet hurt, sometimes my right knee.)
So thank you all for the interesting photos and stories you post.
