  That was one of my favorite days on the Aragonés this year.

  A few months ago I finished my Camino from Barcelona to Finisterre and I have just remembered I meant to post some wee updates here as I went. In all honesty once I got walking I couldn’t be bothered doing little updates, but I did do a great job...

  I too am changing my expectations. I’ve had two failed caminos in 2019 & 2022 due to body malfunction and I thought that if a similar fate befell me this year on the Catalan/Aragones then my camino days would be over, which would be devastating...

  This sounds like an interesting challenge to plan out. Your work-arounds will inspire all the rest of us who are also needing shorter stages for one reason or another.

  Getting old is not for sissies. We've just got to hang in there and keep going as best we can. Covid knocked me sideways - not covid itself thank goodness. I lost all my good health in those 2 years through inactivity, creeping arthritis, and...

  From one slowing-down-pilgrim to another — I hear you. Joints, muscles, tendons, all those things that hold us together seem to start conspiring against us when we hit our mid 70s! Like you, I very much want to keep walking on the Camino and...

  I love the title 'lowered expectations but still optimistic'. It's exactly how I feel at the moment. As some of you will know back in April I broke my ankle whilst on Camino. (Via Imperii, here in Germany). I was initially hoping to be walking...

  What you're describing will come to us all, if it hasn't already. Plantation plate tears, bad knees or hips or ankles, or just slowing down so those 30+km days or 20km days or 10km days are no longer possible. A Rua sounds like a great place to...

  On the Ingles earlier this year. I met a few people who were walking very short sections because of serious health problems.. Two of them were walking planned 10k days, one solo after treatment for cancer. Another was walking even shorter...

  On another thread, @peregrina2000 asked me about my plans for 2025, but I thought I would start a new thread rather than hijack that one. Camino 2024 involved the Via Serrana from Gibraltar to Sevilla, with @peregrina2000. Then we moved on to...
