Hi from Pamplona. Enjoying the trip immensely but struggling with my fitness.
I started in St Jean on the 13th September - took two days to Roncesvalles via Valcarlos, then then Zubiri and arrived in Pamplona last night. Have carried my own pack (poorly fitting, 8 kg) all the way except from Valcarlos to Roncesvalles.
I was absolutely stonkered when I struggled into Pamplona last, so am enjoying a rest day today.
I know I'll get stronger but for now, I need to break the usual stages up a bit if I am to continue. Probably don't want to walk more than 15 Kms a day for the next week. I have another 7-8 weeks if need be so time isn't an issue.
Any suggestions/route options appreciated.
