Hi I’m 67, got severe ankle arthritis in one ankle and a fused ankle on the other. It is painful to walk any distance, but a Camino would be so important for me spiritually.
I’ve been preparing spiritually for years for a pilgrimige and I’m current on a two month solo trip through Spain with my converted pickup truck. I walk with poles and am exercising so that I can walk between 4 and 8 km a day depending on terrain. I would leave the pickup somewhere, travel to a start point and forward my gear as I can’t carry any significant weight other than a light backpack. I know for sure that the Camino will look after me, my whole life has been that way, but it would help to pick the right Camino for closer accommodation and to manage the weather. I hope to give seven to ten days of the weather is right, and if I don’t get a Camino Pass then that’s not the end of the world. It’s more about letting go, humility, and my own inner journey.
Dear fellow walkers …. What do you suggest?
