    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Hey, I'm looking at the Camino Primitivo. You mentioned I would really like it, is that because it is more mountainous? I also have been reading that 14 days is very doable for this route. If my 30-32 days is not possible due to personal responsibilities back home, perhaps the Primitvo may be...

    Thank you, Joe! I have heard the Frances can get very busy. I also have read that everyone really believes in the Frances as the first Camino. Is the Norte longer, shorter or the same? Places to stay?

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Hey Vlogan, Yeah, I'm gaining more and more confidence that 30-32 will give me ample time to walk the route and have a day or two off. If it doesn't work out that way, then I guess I'll have to go with the flow of the Camino. As for the TMB, I did it with a group of about 12 people. Here is...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I would be going in late June to late July. I have already figured in the flight to Paris, train to SJPDP and one night stay there. Then I calculate 30-32 days from SJPD and to get home, which would be Compostela to Paris flight and then flight from Paris to Toronto (where I am from - 8hrs)...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I've read some posts on this forum about people talking about speed and rushing. I'm not talking about rushing, rather the fact that I enjoy walking long distances with a great pace. It's not to see how fast I can do it, so please throw that notion out the window. I think it's dismissive to say...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Thanks everyone, I am very grateful to have your inputs. The more I read, the more I feel like 30-32 days'ish is a good mark. For those wondering, I have that number due to work/money responsibilities. Seamus, I had no trouble doing the Tour Du Mont Blanc, though for anyone interested, it is...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    So I read the post that Beatrice did regarding her trip in 23 days and I could very much relate to what she was saying. I too love the feeling you can get when your body is just "in the groove" so-to-speak. I find that when that happens I just want to keep walking and my mind becomes so clear...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I have much experience in walking/hiking long distances. The Tour Du Mont Blanc was 13 days only, however they were 28km (average days) of hiking which included steep uphill and downhill terrains. So I feel very confident in the walking department. I'm also 32 and in the best shape of my life...

    I just might! Was kind of hoping someone did in 30 with rest days on here, lol.

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I feel very confident in my walking ability and my feet have seen much, much worse when trekking across the alps. If the land is relatively flat, I can go pretty far. Having said that, I don't dare presume to say that nothing could go wrong. That would be foolish, in my opinion. I'm thinking...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I have three weeks vacation (paid) and I'd need one to two more weeks of unpaid leave. That's the struggle for me. I've been travelling every summer on big trips for five years now ... and I LOVE IT. Though my life is approaching the wedding/kids phase. The Camino is my last hurrah of sorts...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Hello everyone, To just give a brief introduction, The Camino is now stuck in my mind. It was earlier in 2014 when I first read about it and watched "The Way". For some reason it's really got a hold of me months later, perhaps it was always sitting in my mind somewhere. Anyways, I've read...
