[QUOTE="NJohn, post: 1084261, member: 84251"] Oh, you can definitely do it - all in one day if you want. I’m 64 and my husband and I walked SJPP to Roncesvalles on September 14 this year. I admit I was extremely worried about this first stage, but it turned out not as bad as I anticipated. I think part of it was pure adrenaline and excitement of that first day. It was so fun walking and talking with new people. I did train in the months before. If you don’t have hills where you live, find a treadmill with an incline and do part of your training on that, with your backpack on. Also, we lucked out on having pretty weather the first day. As many have said, the first part of the climb to Orisson is the steepest, after that it is gradual. If you do decide to stop at Orrisson or Borda, you have the luxury of starting a little later and taking your time. Otherwise, you will be very early. (And as a side note, I found the climb to O’Cebreiro much harder) [/QUOTE]
