(?) Camino Le Puy
Hi All- I’d like to hear from someone who walked the Camino who had similar health issues.
Of course I’m feeling itchy about walking the Camino again, only this time I’ll be 12 years older (65) and a Type 2 Diabetic. I’m a little nervous about my feet. So far, I’ve had no issues at all but remember the blisters, etc I got in 2012.
Should I skip the Pyrenees and begin in, say, Pamploma or even Burgos? (I did some damage on that first day in 2012 that took a good week to recover). I walked down thru the Beech tree forest and my feet killed by the time I arrived in Roncevalles. Would there be an easier way around?
Any advise or ideas would be appreciated!
