@Sssnek Woohoo! Great work. We finished on Friday, and I take your point on the Credencial. Inside a plastic bag, inside a dry bag, inside a pack, under a cover. 🌨️
Wow! Nearly there. Fantastic work. Through blazing sun, pouring rain and howling winds. What a thing. Enjoy these final days. i know, that having finished on Friday, sure I had some positive feelings, but mostly there’s a melancholia, an emptiness, a sadness. I’ve read this is not unusual, as I...

Hey Arch - I'm heavier than you and doing a week's walking in October - from SJPDP until...well wherever I get to. I have been doing some training and feel pretty confident. As all the experienced folk here point out - manage within your own limitations. I'm losing weight before I start and I...
Ouch.
I'm no expert Mike, but you sound like the type of guy who will dictate to life, not the other way around.
One day at a time - and keep smiling.
Wishing you a rapid recovery.
