Hello to all
I have the wonderful opportunity to join a small group walking from Ponferrada to Santigo this coming Septemeber.The planned journey is described as a leisurely 14 days! so 12 days walking approximately 10-12 miles (16 to 19 kms) a day.
My only concern is that this may be a little 'too slow and easy', and would welcome the opinions of the forum.
In brief I am 41 years old of 'average' fitness (a little overweight) with no walking experience (though I am shortly starting a programme of training). Up until last year I was fit and used to run fairly regularly however (to muddy the waters further) I broke my ankle last year and it has taken a long time to recover.
I don't want to slog the journey out but at the same time don't want to feel under-acheived. Any thoughts?
Kind Regards
Arbie
