    Thanks again for your advice smallest sparrow, I think I'll put my faith in myself and the spirit of my Camino and walk my first day, taking it easy, carrying my backpack etc. I'm travelling light and although I have not walked consecutive days over 20k a day, I have walked in the mountains for...

    I'm a Camino amateur, never having attempted the way before so excuse my simple questions. My wife and I plan to arrive in each place and book beds in dormitories on arrival.
