    AK2112 replied to the thread Different because it's shorter.
    I have done both Frances (from SJPDP) and Primitivo. Totally different in one way, but also similiar. i would not spend much time worrying about what kind of experience it will be, just put one foot in front of the other - and repeat. I am sure...

    Found him on the way, just before O Cebreiro. That's him in Santiago, and later at home: Made a poncho for his carrier from a garbage bag. Me in my giant tent-like poncho, and him with the garbage bag, looked ridiculous 🤣. Bought him a...

    AK2112 reacted to Trekker One's post in the thread Different because it's shorter with Like Like.

    Why are you interested in the weather five years ago ;-)
  • AK2112
    I also didn't train for the Primitivo but I walk everyday 13-15 km with my dog, albeit on flat terrain (The Netherlands, you can't get much flatter😂). No training with a pack either but I carry about 5 kg. I've no idea how many hours I walk...
