Hi folks
I've been on a little walking holiday this week... half way through it in fact. I've not been well for a couple of weeks and just finished a course of antibiotics and steroids... and crikey I can notice a difference.
I've done a fair few pratice walks around home for around 15km and felt full of energy at the end but these last 2 days I'm really hurting.
I'm walking with my husband and we've had sensible breaks but it has been very hot... today it was around 28/30oc and there just was no shade on the route at all.
We did this today... 19.68 km (this doesn't include the 0.8km walk up the hill to get out of the campervan carpark!) It felt like a hard walk... all up and down.
We took our time ... please tell me this isn't easy compared to the average Camino day! I had my pack on but I left a few things behind as it was so hot.
I've been reading all the threads about the climb over St Jean to Roncevalles and my husband reckons if I'm feeling nervous I should just start at Roncevalles.
What are your thoughts? Would this be a good idea? Will I feel like I've failed if I dont start at SJ?
I want to get to Santiago... and in one peice... this is my main ambition... and today it feels like a million miles away !
