    walking for 30 days at 55 / best place to start

    Thanks again Tyrrek. Given that I'm mostly a solitary walker in Japan, I wasn't sure how social I wanted to be on Camino -- but now that I've seen in this forum how helpful and kind fellow Pilgrims can be, maybe joining the wave in Leon might be fun. - Chuck

    Thank you Falcon269. So many options! I'm now thinking of starting back in Burgos but we'll see. I'm sure I will spend a wonderful 30 days and plan to be as unplanned as possible -- except for the packing.

    The zipper club! That's good, Pilgrim B. Being cautious sounds like the right approach to take. Today I loaded my bag with 15 Kg and did 12k in fairly hilly country. I felt like I could have done more, but stopped where I did and felt great. I'm so looking forward to my Camino and your good...

    Thank you so much Tyrrek! I first read your reply while having a small break on a 12k walk through central Japan today, and reading your words made me so excited. I can do this and I will. Thank you so much! I'm still not sure where I'll begin, but know I will and that it will be good. Thanks again!

    walking for 30 days at 55 / best place to start

    I have around 30 days to walk starting on October 10th, want to make it to Santiago, and would like some advice on the best place to start. I was thinking to start in Leon and take things kind of easy as I'm 55 and not in the best shape in the whole world - but not in the worst either. I walk...
