Hello,
My sister and I were hoping to walk the Camino Frances next May and my 81yo father has said he wants to join us. While it would be wonderful to have this experience with him, I would like to hear from anyone who has walked/walked with someone in their 80s. While he is a pretty fit and active man, he hasn't done anything like this and so we are trying to work out what might be the best route/timeframe/distance. He thinks with a bit of training he'll be fine to just go and do the whole Camino Frances, but very keen to hear any experiences. It is an age where the body is a bit worn down and more prone to injury! Many thanks in advance.
