- Time of past OR future Camino
- Plan to walk july 15
hello all
Ive been stalking these forums for two years since a friend of mine did the Camino in 2013. Ive always wished to do the camino but what with starting new jobs, a marriage breakdown and lack of circumstances Ive never had the timing come together.
This week I was made redundant from my job, I live and work in Barcelona (UK born), and have enough saved and the free time available to be able to do the camino, two weeks ago I spent the weekend at Vall de Nuria and did a 30k hike (which hurt my feet but that was poor sock choice - but didn't exhaust me).
However, I do not consider myself fit, I am BMI overweight, 35 years old and am in the middle of developing a new business, however there is also a pause of 6 weeks for this startup while the developers take on the app.
My biggest worry: It's July and the camino will be crowded and the weather is hot.
Im torn between thinking my circumstances will likely never be better but the fact that we are in July, I could go tomorrow if I so wanted, and I have done no training - should i pay attention to the great timing of my personal circumstances or is it more important to train?
Any advise?
