[QUOTE="blueskywa, post: 632503, member: 53976"] Hello there, 10 weeks is plenty of time to prepare and regardless of your body weight, the most important thing is to keep your pack weight to a minimum. Take your time for the first week or two or even three and you’ll get fitter each day. Have faith in your ability....I’m just finishing the del Norte with my partner who had both his knees totally replaced 18 months ago and we’ve completed around 800km so far. He never doubted his ability to be able to walk that far. We did the CF 2 years ago and took 49 days with 2 rest days included and totally enjoyed it. The del Norte is the same. Age is just a number - we are mid 60’s Enjoy your planning and I’d suggest you could prebook the first week or two at closer intervals and see how you feel then take it from there. Wishing you a Buen Camino - you will love the challenge [/QUOTE]
