[QUOTE="texastrekker, post: 97327, member: 16119"] i met a woman (age 66) who did the camino last year who took a rest day at least once a week (sometimes < a week) and followed the stages in Brierley's book and highly recomended that. she also trained 6-8 miles a day with her pack for months before doing camino. her stops were in these towns at hotels NOT alberques----(with her comments & distances between rest days) st jean - start logrono - good----102 miles castrojeriz - ok ---103 miles leon (2 rest days--lots to see)- good ---88 miles villafranca - ok ---82 miles portomarin - good ---61 miles santiago ----59 miles she did not feel rushed, stayed in private alberques exc for rest days which were at hotels which she highly recommended. she said she had no physical difficulties at all and i am sure all her pre-training helped. i plan to follow something similar but as falcon says--we can always take a taxi if needed. on another note--when i was first researching how to do the camino i found a company --MACADVENTURES --and they had rest days at-- burgos leon santiago the comment was if you take too many rest days you may lose your "camino family" who might not be stopping. always something to consider [/QUOTE]
