    Family Camino Guidelines

    This is extremely helpful feedback right now, as we're planning our stages based upon guidebooks and the lists of the Albergues. From those, it mostly seems possible on Frances to get to Albergues every 7-10 KM or so (with some exceptions). Has the pandemic changed that? Maybe there is an...

    This is very helpful advice, thank you. We'll discuss the injury situation. If I were injured, I'd just limp to a bus and meet hubby and daughter at that evening's albergue, a cafe, etc. (I would weep quietly to myself on the bus about lost miles)

    Family Camino Guidelines

    This is especially helpful as you clearly understand the family dynamics of wanting to stay together at the end of each day, and understanding preferences and physical stuff may/will come up where compassion and flexibility are needed. Thanks for responding, and congratulations on your family...

    That's our plan exactly. We've been rolling over vacation weeks for years now, and have 6 weeks off.

    There's an entire excel spreadsheet of vegetarian Albergues at the happy cow, under resources I believe, to download. Buen vegetarian Camino!

    Family Camino Guidelines

    So, as we're now successfully training at 12 miles/day with packs and elevation, and are leaving next May, we anticipate everyone will be able to walk our planned goal of 12 miles/day. However, I hear you about the different paces, and for this our solution is to make reservations in advance...

    Thanks, and I appreciate your concern. I probably should have said much earlier that these guidelines were cooperatively invented by our family, the peregrinos who propose to use them, during some long training walks. We'd all read posts about challenges faced by others, and wanted to think...

    We went with 12 mile stages anticipating 15-16 miles being too long. Very curious about what length of stages you ended up deciding upon?

    That's when putting a few rocks in the backpack always works 😂

    This is helpful to consider - we have AT&T, and I haven't tried using it in Europe. I was going to use WhatsApp. That would work with wifi. Hmmm....

    That will be so wonderful, and it seems very organic that those interactions would unfold as you describe. I hope your grandson takes an interest in nature and walking.

    Thanks for feedback. So, it's clear that I'm in strategic planning? Over planning is an occupational hazard!

    Great idea 👍, thanks for bringing this up. I imagine we will need spaces in our togetherness to each carve out our own true path.

    Thanks for your kind words. I'm so impressed with her interest and so proud of her, every time she says, "time to go out for a walk today". I just hope to keep up with her by the end. And yes, I remember about battle plans and how well they survive encounters with the enemy 😉

    Family Camino Guidelines

    Hey there, Camino friends, I would love some feedback on our family guidelines below. In mid May, our 18 YO vegetarian daughter will go with my husband and I on Camino Frances. We're training at 10-12 miles/day now, planning to train up to 15 m/d. She's at 10 miles just now, wearing her trail...
