My goodness, I definitely want to detour from that experience. I have had one similar cycling experience ( not on the Camino) when I was close to tears with exhaustion, another cyclist came from nowhere, like an angel, he stayed with me for about 5kms them disappeared as quickly as he arrived...
Thank you, I had a look at that app you recommended & it certainly does look very helpful. I don't like the sound of that ridge before Almaden de la Plata!
Thank you for your information re VDLP. I have John Hayes book & have ordered the 2023 version of Gerald Kelly's guide to walking the VDLP. I'm sure I will have lots of questions in the next few months!
I want to see & appreciate as much as possible, that's why I'm taking longer perhaps averaging 50kms per day. Starting early & arriving early. I'm 66yrs.. from Ireland..great with distance but not with speed
Hi there, thank you for your reply. Did you rent your bike & the panniers? If so, Were you pleased with the bike rental? What company did you rent from? I intend starting in Seville too, best wishes
As a woman travelling solo, my personal safety regarding assult would be my biggest concern. I was just wondering if this were an issue on any of the remote areas of VDLP
I will probably we renting a MTB bike, perhaps an e one. I would like to follow the walking trails as much as possible. I have been looking at John Hayes on & off road route. As I say my biggest concern is safety
