    When I trained for the CF, I walked from my house to the next town where I live which is 20 kilometers with my pack. My mind filled with doubt when at the end of the day I asked myself if I could get up the next morning and do it again. Surely...

    Maybe walk up the coast for a few days then train to Valenca & finish from there. We did this in 2018 & it worked well

    Halve the weight that you are carrying. You don't need that stuff. Start by walking 10-12 klms and listen to your body. If it is tired then stop and rest or stop for the day. I don't like stopping until I have finished for the day but that is...
