Really interested to hear about your route. We were first timers and did STPDP to Logrono 2 weeks ago. The weather fantastic snd now we are back hone we can’t quite believe we completed our first leg.
We plan to restart in Logrono next spring and go 1/2 way to Santiago. Then later in 2022 we...
So we made 7 days and nights. A fantastic experience the weather was amazing. Thank you John from Ireland who lent us his guide book as we left ours at a friends house. Harry we missed you after Ronsevalles. Best wishes to all those pilgrims that cheered our day along the way to Logrono. We...
We start on 14th too. We are first timers and are hoping the weather will be kind to us. Our current thinking is day one is going to be extremely hard for us. But many before us have made it…..
Buen Camino everyone.
No time like the present. Just do it. 😀
We postponed our Camino twice to but all systems go now for 10/10. Can’t wait. My bag is packed. …….no more delays.
Buen Camino.
Great question re forward. I was contemplating new trainers for lightness but have decided on my walking shoes a bit heavier but well worn in and waterproof for sure. What’s anyone else wearing. I have flip flops (slides actually) for the evening (assuming I get one).
Buen Camino everyone.
Thank you. What is your normal pace in tbe uk? I’m guessing about 3 mph. While I can do distance I’m still ploddy so 2 1/2 mph. Fingers crossed we can make it in daylight. I think I may try a 7am start just to be sure.
Thank you for your reply. And wishing you all the best for the remainder of...
Enjoy your rest day. We don’t start our first ever Camino until another 4 weeks and we’re only going as far as Logrono this time but have been reading your posts with interest.
I wonder, having done a week, if you have packed anything you haven’t actually needed or if you wished you’d packed...
Sounds like you’re enjoying the best of times. The Irish are always such good company too although those I know (my very good friends) like a drink or two and always one for the road. Don’t be led astray you have and early start I’m sure 🤣
Keep going I’m loving following your trip.
Actually back down to 10 miles per week not 19 (typo).
day 2 sounded a bit boring after what must have been spectacular views on day 1. I’m hoping I take in the views but fear the hard work of walking uphill for most of the day will detract.
have you walked a Camino before or is this your...
You have been making good time. Are there many people along the way and how are your feet? We have increased our training walks in length (some with back packs which is funny as people give as odd looks) I also found wearing and additional thin sock under my regular sock feels much more...
Well done you. I’m new to this app too. I’m very grateful to hear how you managed day one. My husband and I will begin from the same place as you but we start mid October We are also booked into the same hotel as you.
Are you a regular Walker and did you do practice walks before you started. I...
lol. I happened to buy the Altus as I watched a utube video on packing tips that included one. I was going for no waterproof legs though. I plan to wear shorts so my legs might dry easily. Might be cold in October? I’ll have to walk fast ! 🤣
Thank you. I did. Let’s hope they stay in their pouches. 🤣.
We’re only walking part of the Camino. I’m wishing we was going the full 780 km now. I’m not sure work would like that. Next time!!
Ha ha. Thank you. Just made my last purchases, 2 ponchos. One for my husband and one for myself. I bought 2 different brands. Lets hope we don’t need them too much. But hopefully we’re prorated for all weather.
I am planning my first Camino starting at ST Jean Porte de Pied commencing October 2021 with my husband.
We have tried walking with our packed rucksacks but only for 6 miles. Just one thing left to buy which is our wet weather gear. It’s becoming very real. Just over 3 weeks to go.
We are only...
