Well, life, can indeed throw lemons. I’m aged 39 and 10 months, never had foot issues in my life and successfully walked SJPP to SdC in 2015. I fly out tomorrow from Melb to Lisbon planning another Camino.
10 days ago I had chronic foot/calf pain and have been diagnosed with tendonitis. Blimey. It’s not great and can hobble but just don’t think there is any way I could walk more than a 10km day. And yes I’m resting it no end.
Am considering busing it from Lisbon to Pamplona, somehow, and walking short stages on Frances - more infrastructure, more towns, more chances of shorter days and much more rest. Slightly devastated as I’ve had the CP planned for 12 months.
Sigh - don’t really have a question. I’m hoping the summer heat will improve things from the depths of Melbourne, Australia winter but also 24 hours on a plane isn’t going to help. The thought of long stages in the direct sun with a dodgy foot and ankle isn’t appealing and actually dangerous.
