[QUOTE="dalston999, post: 178259, member: 19460"] Apart from increasing your fitness to a level where you feel confident to deal with long days of walking, I suggest you learn some Spanish. You could be pretty fluent in 5 years and it will greatly enhance your experience if you can understand and communicate with the local people aong the way. I agree with others that mental fitness is almost more important; flexibile attitude, motivation to keep going when it gets tough. I set off last year at 59 years with basic fitness, had done 12 miles once or twice in the last week before I left but no hills as it's very flat where I live. I just did short days to begin with and built up to 20-25 km gradually. With good kit, not much weight all was wonderful! [/QUOTE]
