    M and M replied to the thread Sarria to SDC Poles/sticks?.
    I found hiking poles to be great. They give stability and don't make you tired. If you're used to walking with them, use them.

    M and M reacted to ELHS220's post in the thread SJPDP-SDC in 32 days-is this realistic? with Like Like.
    Gronze.com divides it into 33 stages. Depends on how many miles you feel you can cover. 32 days would be about 15 miles a day, every day with no rest. For me (now 76), that’s a lot. I did my first Camino in 2015. I had 36 walking days, and 5...
