[QUOTE="Dave, post: 177303, member: 441"] Hi Damien, I understand the need to walk at a faster pace. Some may question the distances, but you're experienced and know your body. If you can physically handle it, I won't caution you against it. The social implications are unfortunate--you won't spend more than a few consecutive days with most pilgrims before leaving them behind--but there's something to be said for variety! From a physical perspective, my one word of caution involves the first four days of your plans--this is far and away the most demanding stretch of your walk. To pull off this pace, you need to make it through that stretch healthy; after that, the flat terrain makes it easier to pile up the kms. That said, if you hit the starting point well trained and fresh, your body may be more resilient. Some of your planned stops lack albergues and may be quite limited for accommodation. These include Munitibar, La Arena (Pobeña has one close by), Mogro, Colunga, and Luarca. Most pilgrims who stay in the albergue in El Pontarron dislike the experience. I'd suggest the following tweaks, keeping the first two days the same while reinforcing the point raised above regarding the terrain. 3 08/31/14 Deba ZENARRUZA 4 09/01/14 ZENARRUZA Lezama 34.4 21.5 5 09/02/14 Lezama POBEÑA 6 09/03/14 POBEÑA LIENDO 7 09/04/14 LIENDO Guermes 47.4 29.625 8 09/05/14 Guermes BOO DE PIELAGOS 35.6 22.25 9 09/06/14 BOO DE PIELAGOS Cobreces 30.4 19 11 09/08/14 Colombres Villahomes 37.2 23.25 (I'd consider getting a room in NUEVA instead) 13 09/10/14 Colunga Deva 40.4 25.25 (I'd suggest forking off to the Primitivo and then back to the Norte, bypassing this stretch, though I realize you've walked the Primitivo.) 18 09/15/14 La Caridad Vilela 28.4 17.75 (Given the distances, I'd suggest having a short day into Ribadeo and then a longer one to Mondoñedo) Everything else is unchanged...
