[QUOTE="Sue M, post: 256517, member: 15626"] I am 69 and have walked 450 miles of the Camino over the last couple of years, in stages. I first walked 180 miles staying in albergues and. Arryi g everything, which was a real experience and I'm very glad I did it. However, by the end of of the 180 miles I had awful blisters and shin splints and could hardly walk. I went home for a rest. After that I returned three times. The last time was in May this year when I walked 130 miles. I had my main bag transported, slept in hotels with my own room (and sometimes a bath), walkedi sandals and didn't get asingle blister. It was quite a different experience, and I didn't meet so ma y onteeresting people, but it was much easier physically! I'm glad I did it both ways. If I went again I'd like to do the whole route in one go, staying in albergues but having good. Ights (and baths) in hotels now and again, and having my bag carried when it stafted to feel too heavy. The options are there and there's point in battling o. Just for the sake of it. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
