Hey its my birthday today,65.I am full of enthusium and wanting to hit the ground running by starting to walk straight after getting off the bus,is this crazy ? Last year I spent 2 days in Burgos so Im thinking to just start walking immediatly to clock up a few kilometers on first day,what do ye think? I am planning to not book ahead as much as possible as I like the freedom of that.
Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers.
