Tingeling replied to the thread want solitude.I have walked Camino Frances twice in October/November and once in March. So quiet, few people. But always nice people, good to experience the warmth between people. Nice brief meetings. Some really special. Mostly solitude. (Camino Portuguese in... -
I certainly agree re walking later into the day. I also start early but as I am such a slow walker, and I like to get at least 30kms in, I also walk into the late afternoon / early evening. Many people seem done by 1400-1500 so it is much quieter...

Tingeling replied to the thread 25 km per day?.I walk slower than home when walking 'the Camino', usually around 4km/h (compared to walking 5-6km/h at home when flat- I walk quite a lot usually). I have found that this, and some rest every two hours (and change of socks), is the best pace for...
