    Camino options for a fit couple with grandkids

    @trecile do you have strong opinion about cp vs cf for 250-300 miles with 2 pre-teens? They are good humored, intelligent boys (says their objective grandmother)— just really want to provide their with fantastic first overseas experience.

    I love your ideas—I’m right there with you. Will discuss with their parents but I suspect they’ll approve (they’re into free range kids too).

    Hello. We are an older (69, 75) fairly fit couple who plan to do the Camino for 5 weeks beginning in late April. We will also have our two grandsons (ages 10 and 12) along with us. We (sans kids) started the northern route a year ago, but had to ditch after husband experienced severe shin...
