    Hi Chica36, Just checked out the FB page, CONGRATS! It looks like it was fun/challenging/memorable experience! Thanks for sharing. Jerry

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Nomadpeah, Thanks for the post! I haven't been on here for a while, and just saw this. I am definitely having an issue with the miles vs. the hours, but I'm coming around. I just finished a 4hr hike today, in 93 degree heat and rain, not focused on the miles, but sticking to the hours. I was...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi The Kolbist, I agree, the hill country isn't comparable to the mountains, but hopefully it'll get me used to some elevation. Luckily, after posting on here I was able to get some info, and I changed my days up, so that my longest day is now 27 miles, all other days are 25 miles and less. It's...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Chica 36, Good luck to you on your camino! Yes, I'd be grateful for any info on accommodations you've booked. When I originally posted I had pre-booked all hotels. But, based on feedback and help from posters, I've already changed my distance per day and changed some reservations from hotels...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Jyrki Wahlstedt, Thanks for the weather info, really hoping for little to no rain. The few of you that have walked in Sept and posted, seem to have had little rain, so I'm optimistic that the weather will be ok. I plan to pack light, but I'll have to have a variety of clothes, just in case...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Agreed. They're different terrain. Luckily, Walsh Camino commented earlier about a place near me with a good 14-15 mile hike that I can train on. I run just for exercise/enjoyment, I plan to start hiking the greenbelt that was suggested to build up my walking.

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Wow, that really helped. I already switched some of my days up, got rid of those 31 mile days! Thanks for the help!

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Laurie, When I started planning this walk, I used your post with your stages, that is pinned to the forum, thanks for helping me get started! The problem I had was my 8 days though. Right now, there are 2 days where I walk 31 miles. 1) From Tineo to Grandas De Salime and 2) A Fonsagrada to...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi JimmyC, Thanks for telling me about the weather last Sept, it's really helpful to hear people's experienes. Glad to know about the t-shirt and shorts. I was hoping to do just that. Some days aren't that bad, but yes, not looking forward to the 31 mile day. Hopefully it'll work out, I'm def...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Walsh Camino, Thanks for that advice, sounds like you know your way around Austin. I live fairly close to the green belt and take my dog to Angel Falls. That sounds like a real good idea. I generally run around zilker, but hiking the green belt is more on point. Thanks for that, I think you...

    Hi Spursfan, As an aside, my wife is a fanatical Spurs fan! Thanks for the response. I'm leaving from Oviedo. I agree, that predicting weather this far out is largely a guessing game, just wanting to hear from people who walked it during that time, and hoping for similar weather. Glad to hear...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi ShubertJ, I live in Austin, would be grateful for any group info, always willing to listen to those that came before me. Yeah, the 30 mile days aren't ideal, for sure. I only have 2 of them, sandwiched in-between 15-20 mile days, so hopefully, it works out. There's a 10 mile trail around the...

    Camino Primitivo in Sept 2019!

    Hi Mr. Magoo, Thanks for the weather and clothes info. I've been googling weather from previous years, but nothing beats firsthand reports, so thanks! Mud is definitely a concern, as I think that would slow me down considerably. Hopefully only 1 or 2 days of rain though, if I'm lucky! Thanks again
