- Time of past OR future Camino
- August 2024 (planned)
I’m planning to do my Camino in August of this year. For very personal reasons, I have to start on August 11 and finish in September 11, as these are important grieving anniversaries (My SO was hospitalized in August 11 and died on September 11, this was 10 years ago, and is NOT the American 9/11 which was on a different year). I’ve struggled with the grieving process during this decade and I’m at the point that this feels like an appropriate way of transitioning to a new stage of my life. For reasons that aren’t completely clear to me, I am feeling an overpowering urge to do this camino this year, almost like some force is beckoning me to do this then.
The question is, can I do this in 32 days or is this unrealistic?
Since I know things can happen (injuries, illness, etc), that may result in delays, I’m thinking of a plan B, which would be starting as I intend on August 11, and perhaps being at Cruz de Ferro on September 11 (I already have a special stone for the occasion) if it become obvious I won’t make it to SDC in time for September 11. How many days it usually takes to reach Cruz de Ferro?
Also, how much further it is to reach SCD from Cruz de Ferro? I need to know so I have an idea on when to book the outgoing flights.
Maybe I need to figure out where else I could be on that date that would be significant. Then again, this being the Camino, who knows what will actually happen!
Thanks!
