    How often do you take a break?

    On my first Camino which my brother and I completed in 30 days, we managed 3 sit-down rest periods every 8km, one of them being lunch. No major feet problems at all, despite my 72 years on this earth's feet! PS. From today, 73!🇳🇿😎

    To take a puffer jacket, or not. That is the question? I did, and never wore it!

    What to do different next time?

    1. Slow down and enjoy the moment. 2. Improve my Spanish. 3. Try and swim as often as possible on the Camino del Norte in May/June of '25.

    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    Walking out the door from my home in Levin NZ to the Tararuas is 4km, then the 'hiking' begins. 😎

    Rest Days/Stops

    That's my aim, starting on the 26th from St Jean-Pied-de-Port! 😎🇳🇿🇫🇷🇪🇸
  11. KiwiJohn

    How far do most typically walk before resting?

    On the Te Araroa trail here in New Zealand, I tended to have a half an hour rest after 8/9 kms. Then another hour for lunch after a similar distance, completing the day's hike an hour of two later. With the Camino, I will probably be able to rest every two hours as the terrain/track condition...
