Jay_Walker replied to the thread Post-camino fitness.I think this explains a great deal of it. The VlpD is not particularly hilly and so I probably lost some aerobic fitness.

I just finished the VdlP. 1,000km averaging 30km/day over 34 days and 2 rest days. It was challenging - blisters, foot pain and 3 days before SdC I developed shin splints but I was in good shape when I started. It's about 10 days since I...

Jay_Walker replied to the thread Two pilgrims injured in an attack by a cow.There were many times I had to run the gamut of cattle on the VdlP.

Jay_Walker replied to the thread Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira.I'm heading that way in a week. I may have to take the other route to avoid this situation.

The night I spent in the Oseira monastery (which was at that time the coldest, clammiest place on the planet), there was a cyclist who arrived to spend some time in the monastery itself for a multi-day retreat. Their web page describes their...

Has anyone stayed at the Monestery lately. I recall reading somewhere that you can stay in the Monestery (not albergue) if you stay a minimum of 2 nights. I'm wondering what the experience is like. Are you expected to meditate? Or can you move...
