    What is Your Average Walking Distance per Day?

    IMO these discussions continue to demonstrate the individuality of our Caminos and associated walking speeds. “Smelling the roses” is not dependent on distance or time; one does not see more nor less, or factor fewer/more injuries. Simply put, there is no one-size/method/gait-fits-all. We adopt...

    What is Your Average Walking Distance per Day?

    I’ve always found walking pace and distance conversations of interest, especially while on the Camino Frances. Certainly, every person has their own approach and comfort level, and in many cases, is developed while en route, accessing daily variables, i.e., terrain, weather, health, mood, time…...

    Trying to work out the length of my camino for flights

    This online planner (https://godesalco.com/plan/frances) may help you develop a daily stage outline, based on Km per-day you find comfortable. Again, used as a planning tool, not necessarily a set-guide. Choose your Start and End Locations, then go to the next page to develop your daily...

    Episode 32 - Veterans on the Camino

    Hi Dave; sorry for the late reply - I clearly missed your message somehow. Regarding our Camino initiative, sadly it did not generate any interested parties willing to move it forward. However, it was well-received by other soldiers, and those that participated have continued their trekking...

    The similarities are rather remarkable and definitely worth exploring further. Thank you so much!

    Very interesting and I appreciate your diligence. We (family) will have much to discuss at the next family reunion. Also, this makes me want to walk another Camino... :)

    Too funny, you just pinpointed my home! The actual picture is on our wall, which I took down and took a picture of with my cell phone ( scanner is broken) and posted in this forum. We recently sold our home in Kingston Ontario and moved to Middle Sackville Nova Scotia.

    @Kathar1na I'm a puzzle fan as well and will look further into your other considerations. Thanks for all your help and support. Take care and all my best!

    @Kathar1na Good idea. The next time I walk, I will wander around this area a bit more to perhaps gain a better perspective. The direction he is facing was of initial interest to me but then thought, that it may not matter and could skew the search, based on a simple matter of him facing the...

    The photo was taken by his wife, but both passed away in 2002 and 03. My wife had intended to walk the Camino upon her retirement in memory of her father, but in 2007 was diagnosed with MS and unable to walk. My first Camino in 2013 was as a proxy for my wife, with the intent to write each...

    Thank you! I will also look further into this area and see if I can find some photos from that period.

    Excellent! I will try to find further pictures of that area from the 1990s.

    The family is unsure of his start location. I was wondering if this was a pre-Camino hike, but the family believes he talked about this picture during the actual Camino. Having said that, he took this journey over a 3-month period, which complicates pinpointing this spot.

    Logroño was my first thought as well, but I simply do not recognise this spot, but then again, suspect much has changed over the years. Also, unsure of his start location.
