    Camino Frances - 3 week plan - need advice

    Hi All I’m planning to do the Camino Frances next year, starting at the end of September or the beginning of October to celebrate 10 years since I’ve had my scoliosis surgery :) However, not only am I constrained by time due to work, I still need to look after my physical health (despite my...
