Thanks for the reply. It was reassuring to hear that I'm not mad. (Edited by moderator for personal remarks about other posters). Anyway it seems my Camino window will open next June....so can't wait! Not setting a target but hope to clock 50km+ as much as possible. Buen Camino
Welcome to the forum. I had the same dilemma this September. Ended up walking from St Jean to Burgos in 12 days. It was amazing, averaging about 25km a day. Burgos was a beautiful place to aim for and visit. It will also be a great place to pick up the camino again in the future. Buen Camino
I didn't think my first thread on this forum would generate any interest. I will think twice about posting again. Thanks for your comments.....I always like to prove the doubters wrong!
Many thanks for the post; very enjoyable. I would put myself in the very fit category, but age will soon affect that. I'm very used to endurance based activity and have had over 25 years service in the Military. I know it will be all on my side.
I will say that from my experiences this summer on the Camino, pilgrims were getting up before 5am, many hours before sunrise, just to ensure a bed at the next location. I didn't see that as enjoyment.
