[QUOTE="John Holland, post: 1040334, member: 26498"] I am in my 60s and have walked the Norte twice, both times staying in albergues, in recent years and carrying a full pack each time. The ups and downs are nowhere near as difficult as is generally made out. The path is generally quite good. And most of the "up" sections are more like long slopes rather than "climbing up". There are plenty of flat spots in between. Walking across France on the camino there (and before you reach Le Puy) is much more difficult. And same goes for the Primitivo. Considerably more ups and downs. You are only doing 100 kms in one week and staying in hotels. That means a better bed and easier time each night to relax etc. You should be fine, especially if you use a company/correos to transport your luggage. [/QUOTE]
