Dumb question
. the compostella is not that much important , it only matter to those who want to get it and would go to extremes to obtain it by hook or crook the credentiale is the record of the journey , sometimes I got three in the same days then none for the next , it was the record of an experience...- jeannick

Yes does ring a bell , didn't see too much beside Narva and a few place , the Ilka-Oandu RMK is pretty much all in the forest , Hikkers told me the Baltic coast is great and would make a great Santiago path. -

What is the most you have walked in a day?
.53Km , it was in the Landes forest .....straight , flat and even , the weather was mild and dry I was fit and well used to walking , the kit and backpack had been adjusted for fit and weight it wasn't hard really but it took a long day- jeannick

My perception of the Camino De Saint Jacques,
.If you do the Vezelay it's the same but even more so , the marking is OK but one has to keep a sharp eye out for it , there are enough auberges or equivalent , the guide "miam miam dodo " is definitely a big help .- jeannick
