Jo Jo,
This was really very helpful and the information from a link within the thread has helped me plan approximate days/distance taking account of when the elevations appear. Thank you to you and all other members with advice for me
Thank you Peter,
I did reply to a post you placed on a different thread as we too, are arriving SJPP on 15 May ready to start. The decision I need to make today is get underway to Orisson on the 15th or wait and start on the 16th and head to Roncensvalles. My training with weighted pack was...
Hello Peter,
We also arrive SJPP on the morning 15 May from an early start from Bayonne. I have been contemplating starting that day or staying in SJPP and starting on the 16th. I finally had my response from the refuge in Orisson and it has been nearly two weeks. So today I will spend time...
We also start from SJPP on the 16th, arriving there from Bayonne the day before. I am both apprehensive and excited. We will need to walk 15 miles or so each day so my training reaches its peak this month. Maybe we will see you on day one? I'm hoping the mountain path will be open. You never...
I have posted a response, once though as my husband and I fall into the same range. Surprised to see it isn't in the categories with the most votes. Age is only a number.
Thank you Al. Yes the Outback Cameleer, who turned into a machine cyclist (he cycled the Giro, Vuelta and Le Tour solo in 2013 a total of 11,000 Km) is very hard to live up to. But for this journey he is my support rather than the other way round. I think my jitters are a nervous excitement as...
Thank you David. My brain says I can do it, my emotions are doing all the things you state above. I have been training for this and have been walking with a loaded back pack and poles for over a month. During April I will be doing some back to back 15 mile walks so I experience what it is like...
On a slightly different note, what sort of shape are your feet in when you finish? I really want to walk as light as possible, but am wondering about a foot cream. I have a pair of high heels to squeeze into for my daughters wedding when I return you see.
Thank you, that is very comforting. I followed my husband in a car on a full lap of Spain as he cycled the entire Veulta cycling course of over 2000 miles, solo in Sept 2013. This Vuelta started and ended in Galacia which is when I first became aware of the Camino's as I wanted to know about...
I will be walking Camino France's with my husband starting mid May. We need to finish in Santiago by 20. June 2015. I have not done anything like this before and I am now getting concerned about it. I have been training with my back pack so walking isn't my worry. I am most concerned about where...
