[QUOTE="Former member 59618, post: 1133605"] Just did the walk today from Rabanal to Riegos De Ambros. What a gorgeous day! Hard and rewarding. It’s my third time walking this descent and here are my thoughts. I too, might be a bit of a mountain goat. My knees are healthy and I currently don’t have feet issues (inflamed Achilles but ibuprofen takes care of that). So this descent isn’t too stressful for me. As another commenter stated, I enjoy the technical aspects of the descent. Walking up hills, I’m a big baby. However, descending forces me to think about how/where I need to strategically place my feet and walking sticks. I compare it to rock climbing. It’s way to focus my energy and I enjoy this type of concentration. If you have knee/foot/ankle issues, of course plan accordingly. The road is an option, but personally for me walking on asphalt is absolute murder on my feet and knees. For sure break up the day by stopping before Molineseca. You’ll be fresh the next day and your legs won’t be fatigued (less chance of injury). Again, absolutely gorgeous day and the municipal in Riegos de Ambros has 5 peeps tonight, so a quieter option than touristy El Acebo. [ATTACH]145933[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
